Count Giovanni Volpi on creating the Breadvan and GTO (excellent read for collectors)

Count Volpi: I add my heartfelt thanks for publishing your fascinating story. It was particularly touching for me, as I was the one (with my Roman friend Roberto Goldoni) who liberated the Camionette from the dealer you mentioned, bringing it to the US. You have expressed very clearly the difference between those days, when we drove our Ferraris every chance we had, and today when we don't dare take our cars out for fear that our "investment" might get dirty.

Please, sir, won't you write more about those golden days and the cars and people whose lives you have touched? Ed

 

I agree.

IMO, this is the most interesting thread ever on Fchat.

 

Thanks for reviving this thread. I'd never seen it before but it was fantastic being able to read it!

 

Refreshing to hear the truth. Great thread, wish he would write a book.
