Enjoyed it. There is the Museo Ferrari and the Museo Enzo Ferrari. Both are an enjoyable wander around.
I did a week long road trip with a friend in his Z3. Visited Alfa and Pork museums along the way. Have about hundred pics from the museums, probably enjoyed the Alfa one the most, mainly because I was running the 4C at the time. Even though Alfa managed to be Alfa and I was seriously interested in the next 8C, so I thought it would be cool to place my order directly with the factory. Absolutely nobody was interested in doing so. Which was equal parts hilarious and frustrating.

Sounds great: if you only had time for one of the Ferrari museums, does it make any actual difference which you go to?

More to see in the Museo Ferrari. Museo Enzo Ferrari is in his house and is now mainly the engine display museum.

If you're in the area then also consider taking in the Lamborghini factory and museum at Sant'Agata Bolognese and the truly excellent Pagani museum and factory tourbiggrin

I suspect you have an affinity for 2 door, 4 seat, 6 cylinder convertibles!

I thought the ‘chinese eye’ headlights were 6 cylinder Vitesse only.

Or as posted above, Vitesse front end on a Herald or 13/60?

Vitesse front on a 13/60 Herald. It’s quite a late build in the production run, and there’s an unqualified assumption in the history that it was built like this from new because Triumph had run out of standard Herald front ends.

Lovely cars. I have spent a lot of time in Spitfire / GT6 / Herald / Vitesse family of cars and every single one, no matter how ratty, always makes me smile.

Everyone should drive one once, in fact, if I had my way they would be the car everyone learns to drive in.
The standard of driving & levels of consideration on our roads would improve dramatically!

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I may struggle for time but I am planning on going to the Panini museum as that looks to have a great collection.

I had seen that car too, ATM. Fantastic colour combination. Did it sell?
