SOLD OUT IN PRINT BUT AVAILBLE DIGITALLY
It’s a bumper issue this month, with 16 extra pages filled with delicious Alfa Romeo Busso V6 goodness – from the 1980s GTV 6 to the 164 Cloverleaf, 156 GTA and 916 GTV/Spider. There’s even more for Alfa fans as the 155 Q4 faces up to its Lancia sister model, the integrale HF Evo. More Lancia action comes from a delightful Beta Coupe and a superb club run from London to Brighton. Racing fans can read all about the Fiat 131 Abarth’s championship-winning rallying career, the Ferrari Dino 196 SP and the wonders of modern classic Italian events like Silver Flag. On the exotic front, we’ve got the full story of Maserati’s lost-in-the-desert 5000GT Ghia and De Tomaso’s all-new P72. With full coverage of a fabulous summer of shows and action, too, it’s a glorious time to be reading Auto Italia!
