AutoItalia Magazine Issue 334 Vorige editie

Our December issue sees us review the highlights of the year that was 2023: our favourite cars, stories, events and awards. Our cover story this month is a heart-warming tale of a father and daughter who own two very different Italian classics, both of which are orange: an Alfa Romeo Montreal and Fiat Punto Sporting. Alfa enthusiasts will also love our Giulia Spider Veloce racer track test, as well as the full story of the Alfa Nuvola prototype of 1996. We road-test the new Fiat 600e and two classic Fiat-based Morettis: a Sportiva 850 and a 124 Coupe. In the exotic stakes, we have the stories of Zagato’s sensational 250 GTZ TdF, an aircraft-inspired 1965 supercar called the Strale and the little-known tale of how Lamborghini almost made cars in the UK during the 1990s. Show season is in full swing as we report on superb events like Silverstone Festival, Salon Privé, National Alfa Day and the Festival of the Unexceptional. All in all, it’s discoveries, rediscoveries and glimpses of the future – all in one beautiful package!
