This is excellent! Thank you so much for the organized, detailed approach of posting the placard and then photos of the relevant car. If you post one new car a day, it will be like a daily car cocktail for me. What a treat.

Fantastic photos ... and there's almost time to go there before the exhibition ends! Such a delight to see cars that haven't been polished and buffed to "perfection".

Never knew that Moto Guzzi made a speed record car, the Nibbio II. Do you have any more photos of that? I turned up a couple of press photos, dated 1959, after some web searching. Seems that Lurani was involved with this one at some point, as a driver.
