    Hi guys
    After the rage of the Tour Auto and the Louis Vuitton Classic Run, the classics took a rest on the terraces of the Villa d'Este. In my opinion, this was the best year for Ferrari in the last 5 editions. Moreover, shootings were tolerated on friday, when they seemed to be forbidden last year. A good occasion to make a lot of beautiful and easy pictures of the stars.

    Full report with tons of HD pictures is here: http://arthomobiles.fr/VE12/VE12D1.htm

    Best regards

    The Countach looks so much better in it's original design, heck it looks better than anything since.

    Very nice Nic, there's always something interesting to see in your photos (e.g. the 275/365 proto). Really oddball, but interesting. That 250 GT Zagato. Wow. Just as beautiful in person, as in your photos.

    I haven't seen this Rolls in YEARS, but it's nice to see it at Villa d'Este. The side profile is stunning, isn't it?

    +1.

    The 250 GT Zagato is better looking though :).

    Ugh, looking at the 250 EU Vignale, Ferrari definitely did the right choice to establish Pininfarina as the premier designer. The GTZ is a beauty though, perfect two-tone look in highly contrasting colours.

    Also in my early years I thought that the Countach "wing" was really cool looking but we were all young once...

    I love that Zagato design too, IMO both cars were show stoppers during their era.
