The Museo Lamborghini is situated to the right of the main
entrance of the factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, which is a
historic small town in the countryside, approximately mid way
between Bologna and Modena. A bonus of its location right on
the factory premises is that one will see cars being taken out on
test, and maybe even spot the odd prototype. The factory is on
the main SP 255, Via Modena, on the outskirts of the town, but
within walking distance of the historic centre, and is still the site
on which Ferruccio Lamborghini established the original factory in
1963. |

The 26th edition of the Cavallino Classic today moved from the
Palm Beach International Raceway into the Breakers for the
annual Concours d´Elegance, the highlight of the Ferrari meeting
in Florida. Well before sunrise the first Ferrari were lined up in the
driveway of the luxurious hotel at the Beach. Just as in previous
years this edition featured some rare examples of the history of
the marque with the prancing horse although the jubilee edition in
2016 set the bar very high for all the coming years but even
without the numerous Best of Show winners of the past this
year’s line-up was again no disappointment. |
Just three weeks after the sensational Retromobile Show in Paris
the German car show scene starts into the 2017 season with the
Retro Classics in Stuttgart. Although Stuttgart is a beautiful city
and famous for their local car manufacturers Porsche and
Mercedes-Benz certainly the “Neckar-metropolis” is far less
glamorous than the “City of Love” and so is the trade show in the
modern trade centre near the airport. Ideally located and
state-of-the-art built a few years ago the venue is the perfect
location for an international show easy to reach both by car and
plane. |
Two shows for the price of one! As an entry ticket for one
automatically gave you access to the other. Both interesting in
their own rights, and both under one roof although in separate
halls of the Excel exhibition centre in East London, with a bonus
of plentiful visitor parking at a reasonable daily rate, good
transport links via the Docklands Light Railway to the centre of
London and transport link hubs, with London City Airport also
close by for international visitors. |

The 15th edition of the Race Retro show was held at its regular
venue at Stneleigh Park near Coventry, over the weekend of 24 –
26 February. A new organisation at the helm there was the
promise of an even bigger and better show, and it didn’t
disappoint. One of the new features was the Motor Sport Hall of
Fame around the Live Stage in Hall 3, with one of the displays
featuring the 50th Anniversary of the Cosworth DFV engine, with
a selection of F1 cars that had used the ubiquitous V8 power
plant over the years, including a Lotus 49, the car in which it
made its maiden appearance. |
Ferrari has lost one of its greatest drivers. John Surtees has
passed away in his native England at the age of 83. Born in
Tatsfield on February 11 1934, Big John, as he was fondly
known, won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1964 with
Ferrari, becoming the only driver in history to claim both the F1
and motorcycle grand prix world titles. |
Extended to two days with the addition of Friday’s exclusive
presentation of ‘A Gentleman’s Collection: The Pride and Passion
of Orin Smith’, RM’s 2017 Amelia Island sale lifted the gavel on a
carefully curated roster of 150 blue-chip vehicles and select
automobilia, attracting a truly global audience with bidders from
25 countries. Significantly, 21 percent of bidders represented first
time clients to RM Sotheby’s. |
With more than 200,000 visitors in the past year the
Techno-Classica Essen is not only the classic fair with the most
visitors worldwide but documents also the permanent increasing
economic power of the vintage-car- and
connoisseur-vehicle-scene with its popularity. The success of the
Techno-Classica Essen is unattained till today and is based on
the principle of the organiser S.I.H.A. to present the visitors from
more than 40 nations a selection from the best of all fields of the
classic hobby. |
C´est fini! The 26th Tour Auto is in the history books as another
memorable edition of the annual tour through the Grande Nation.
Over 2500 km on five days including 11 special stages and an
additional 4 races at the circuits of Le Mans, Val de Vienne, Albi
and Pau made this one of the longest and most demanding
editions for the cars and crews in recent history of the TAO. 242
teams started on Tuesday morning from the Grand Palais in
Paris for the cruelling chase through the French country side and
not few got a few scars on their alloy, steel or GFK body. |
The annual Auto Italia magazine Italian Car Day at the
Brooklands Museum in Surrey was held under rather grey skies,
that brightened up as the day progressed, on Saturday 29 April.
The museum complex is currently undergoing a major
refurbishment, with the relocation of the main hangar and other
building works, so it wasn’t looking at its best with a number of
areas fenced off due to this, thus not providing the most elegant
of backdrops to many of the car displays. |
Preston Henn, one of America’s most colourful Ferrari characters
passed away on 30 April 2017 at the age of 86. He founded his
famous T-Bird Swap Shop in Fort Lauderdale in 1963, which
initially was a drive-in movie theatre, and proved to be a huge
success for him, making him a fortune, but he still went there
every day at the crack of dawn. He has been quoted as saying “I
could be anywhere I wanna be - I wanna be right here”, such was
his passion for the empire that he had created. |
The exclusive event has taken place from 5 to 9 May in Tuscany.
It is based in Forte dei Marmi from where the cars set off to
explore this wonderful region. Ferrari conceived the event in order
to bring its customers from all over the world to famous places in
Italy, promoting Italian excellence in art, history, and gastronomy
together with local specialities. |
90 years ago one of the most demanding road races was
introduced with the 1000 Miles of the MM through Italy. With very
bad roads as one could see in samples at the anniversary
exhibition in the Museo Mille Miglia the blast though the Italian
countryside was a torture both for cars and the drivers and unlike
today winning or even just completing the MM certainly was a
proof of quality for the manufacturers of a rising car market.
Winning on Sunday and selling on Monday was still true as the
wealthy gentlemen driving these sports cars did want to have
competitive and reliable material. |
Since the beginning of the motorization an automobile was much
more than just a machine bringing its passengers from one point
to another, it was always an expression of the lifestyle of the
owner and a status symbol, be it because of its speed or its
design. Soon after Bertha Benz undertook the first tour with the
Benz Patent Motorwagen the first races were introduced to
compare drivers and cars in reliability and speed and it was just a
question of time when they were competing in design as well. |

The Prescott Speed Hill Climb, a fraction over a kilometre in
length, near the village of Gotherington in Gloucestershire, home
of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, hosted the annual La Vie en Bleu
meeting incorporating La Vita Rossa, which they introduced in
2016. This was very apt in 2017, Ferrari’s 70th anniversary year,
and also the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari Owners’ Club in the
UK. |

The Principality of Monaco is one of the most glamorous places
in the world, complete with casino, chic neighbourhoods, elegant

the best historic sporting machines. Monaco also provides a
stunning backdrop for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. |

In the roaring twenties and the flamboyant years before WWII
there were a lot of marques in the top market and international
racing scene that did not make it into the times of mass
production after the war. Some of them disappeared into the
history books, others did leave such an impression that their
name was revitalized some time later so when looking at today´s
Bugatti Chiron as the status symbol of the Volkswagen group
one is reminded at the glorious history of the cars from
Molsheim. |
