330GT:

GTC's are twice the GT's. Why?

308GT4



Can't believe you can drive a Gandini sculpture with a 275 brake Webered V8 for 20k!

Nice Dutch Monti, Gandini sculpture.

That TR4 indeed is a fine car

I navigated at a rally once, in this car.

Why are folks afraid to buy a 50s-60s Lancia?

This TR4 lives near me



(My house in the background - was lovely to wake up with these practically in my garden)

When my Father finishes the Vitesse he wants to put a screen in like this




There's probably more chance of me having a 275 first though!!

The TR is nice but: do you live in a caravan?

Back on topic again.


Art in Motion: it may not be the fastest - 140 brake 4-boxer - but when all niggles are fiddled it's a damn fine thing. Look the wheels.

The Berlina is different . . .

Fiat 130 Coupe:



Fiat 131 Mirafiori:


Fiat Dino:

Oi, I don't think the Flaminia and the 131M are underrated. They're rare for sure. Not that much good examples left these days.

Th Ghibli on F'MC's pic is lick

I saw this last month:

Fiat 124 Sports Coupe, did 3:28 around new SpaF.

Morning Dink, now this is my kind of thread.........

My nominations thus far =>

Gorgeous Ferrari V6 clothed one of Fiats finest


Rarer than a rare thing and oh so pretty



As a final nomination......
Not sure how underrated this is but they will always hold a special place in my heart as I learnt to drive in a Green Cloverleaf Sprint
