Auto Italia, 2021, Part 5: Italian Cars that Aren't Fiats, Lancias or Alfas
Regular readers might remember that the UMPH team were a tad ticked off when vast majority of the Ferrar-o-Lambo brigade racked off just as soon as 2021's Auto Italia organisers had handed out the trophies, all air horns bleeping, engines revving and look at me (while you can!), a good ninety minutes before the event was due to end. Thanks for nothing, ya up yourselves w⚓s!
A bit harsh? Not so! One generous soul suggested that a lot of the "supercar" owners had travelled a long way just to exhibit their flashy toys and needed to leave in plenty of time to get home. So the Fiat, Lancia and Alfa people somehow time-travelled back to their abodes? It doesn't wash as an excuse.
Fortunately, the owners of these two classics - a stunning Lamborghini Miura and a 1960s Maserati saloon of such elegance that it made your equivalent Jag of the era look decidedly frumpish - had the courtesy to stay to the end of the show! Event patrons certainly appreciated it, even if the cars did look a little forlorn parked all on their lonesome.
