Another rare bird on display was the 1967
V8 "Stradale" with Scaglione bodywork. I had only
seen one of these previously, it was in the small motor museum
at Banham in Norfolk and was auctioned off when the museum was
disposed of in the late 70's
A 1975
Tipo 33 TT12 was next in line, with the 12 cyl 2995cc engine
in situ. These were very successful in sports racing events,
very agile cars with the engines giving reliable power that
somehow never seemed to translate to the Grand Prix use that
they were also put.
The 1996 Nuvola
project car on display failed to fire me up, it looked like
at least a dozen other cars and had no memorable features that
I can fasten upon to make it unique or irresistibly desirable.
Having said that, it is purely my personal taste and I may well
be inundated by readers defending it's virtues.
The last exhibit was the 156
Super Turisimo of 1998cc capacity. Nice road car this, I
borrowed one from the local dealer when they were launched and
was very impressed by the combination of sure footed roadholding,
tor que and smooth power.
