This 1949 6C 2500 SS belongs to Corrado Lopresto and was supposedly custom-built for Aga Khan.

Bloody hell, that is a beautiful car ... 
I'd love to see inside Corrado's garage (assuming he just has one ...). He restored that interesting Bertone 1750GT prototype (mini Iso Lele lookalike) that Stefano Paracchi dug out a couple of years ago, didn't he?

One of the few shows in the world where the setting is as good as the cars.

Incredible that someone had that much insight so long ago. From a modern aerodynamic perspective there are obvious mistakes, but for 1935, this thing is from 70 years in the future!
Gawd it's wonderful! Were there more than one made? I'm sure if there are, they are still pure un-obtainium ($$$+$).
As long as you wear goggles, you only have to worry about bugs in your teeth (from smiling while driving).
Any interior or engine bay photos?
Who is the lucky owner?
Where in the world is it's garage?
WOW! I love that car.

Holy cow - Are those beautiful. The first one looks like a B20 with the wrong badge.
One of these days I got to go to the Lake Como for that show.

Okay, I just added some more v.interesting photographs to the 2 most recent cars.
That pamphlet outlining the 'secret project of Vittorio Jano', does anyone know where to see/read a copy?
