Alba, Italy, Saturday lunchtime
Discussion
On holiday last weekend, Mrs 230TE and I were wandering around the centre of Alba and starting to think about lunch. We saw what looked like a few interesting cars in a large square and went to have a closer look. Here's what we found.
Square was pretty deserted as everyone was at lunch (this is Italy, so what else would you expect?) Most of the cars were Ferraris, with a few other makes thrown in.
I certainly wasn't expecting to see an FXX in the wild.
One of two 512 Testarossas that were there.
Beautiful 250GT Coupe, alongside a Mercedes 500K in a rather tarty shade of red.
250GT engine. Want, badly.
Bit of research suggests that this is an Alfa 8C-35, ex Scuderia Ferrari. But someone will no doubt correct me if I am wrong. Very beautiful anyway.
Big touring Bugatti.
Immaculate gullwing Merc.
Now this I liked. 430 Scuderia. So hard, it makes a standard F430 look like a girlie shopping car.
Lucky, lucky child.

What a lovely surprise, hope you enjoyed lunch with such a good view.
I don't think that is an FXX, looks like an Enzo.
I'm not an expert on hyper-expensive Ferraris, sadly, so I was going by the 'FXX' badge on the front. I don't think that is an FXX, looks like an Enzo.
So what we have here is the $1 million equivalent of sticking a 'Turbo' badge on the back of a Nissan Micra 1.0.
And we ended up running out of time for lunch, too busy looking at cars...
