Whats going on with the cars in this series?
Montalbano is driving a old Tipo and Mimi is in an old Alfa, the rest of the island are in much more modern stuff
Is Montalbano some kind of Autos
te fan? He is a Commissario,wouldn't he be entitled to a car? Giulia maybe? Stelvio?
I think I remember reading that in the books he's seemingly the only man in Italy who doesn't care about nice cars and is obviously too busy with all the stunning women and drinking coffee to bother caring.

didn't Montalbano get the Tipo at some point in the young Montalbano series? I agree it is odd seeing the rest of the cars get newer around it, but I rather like it.The Tipo also aged in reverse.
The biggest anachronism isn't that he still has the same old car, it's that it isn't battered to death. Every car in that part of the world has suffered in some way from the roads and the kerbs and the driving. Just look at the way they drive in the show, and that's pretty tame compared to reality.
That poor Alfa they took up that dirt road for example is probably really suffering given the way it was bouncing off the scenery.
Meanwhile the Tipo carries on with all the panels still straight (-ish).

The driver of the Alfa is known to drive fast and Montalbano frequently has a go at him about it, Montalbano hates driving and cars, so does as little driving as possible and doesn't care what he drives.The biggest anachronism isn't that he still has the same old car, it's that it isn't battered to death.

Last Saturday's episode was pure genius.
The usual quite dark crimes ,murder .prostitution etc.
Montalbano jealous and suspicious of his partner Livia and her friend the priest.
And Caterella ,the bumbling policeman ,hacking into the dating website.
Oh and random beautiful women dotted around the plot.
It's not on this week ,has series finished already ?
