Photo was taken that day.

I was just kidding. Sorry for that.

I like Italian cars. 😀

This is my '66 Lancia Fulvia Coupé

What they did in 1966 would be great for today. What a nice design... Simple and elegant. 🥰

I love these frameless doors.

Good to see the TZ1 'liked' - so how about a TZ2 too? (well, it's as elegant as a ballet dancer):

I think this has to be up there in the race for most beautiful Alfa
Tipo 33 Stradale.
Roughly the same age as most of my Constellations.

For me the most iconic will always be the duetto in the movie “the graduate”

I’m a little more partial to the Bug 8c Atlantic, that Alfa though drool...

There was a neurologist at a place where I trained who had one of those... won the Pebble Beach Concours. Used to rush out on Friday afternoons to fly his triplane. Marry well, my friends.

Well, having a family already, I don't think I'd want to marry a neurologist on top of that. 😲

But Pebble Beach sounds fine and Friday afternoons as well... 😀

Haha legend had it that HE had married well, that his wife's grandfather had invented the electric car starter or something. Neurologists don't make Bugatti/triplane money.

As featured in January's Octane, three of the carrozzerie takes on the 33. Pininfarina Coupe, Bertone Carabo and Italdesign Iguana:

Great stuff.
They had concept cars very similar to these when I visited the Alfa museum many moons ago.

Yes, those three are in the Museo Storico at Arese today.

And this one:

And, more conventional, examples from what's for me a favourite period:

Is that the ‘disco volante’ in the background of your first picture?

Yes, that's the Coupe. Better known - and it was a pic of this in my boyhood Dumpy Book of Cars that led me to want to work for AR - is the Spider:
