Alessandro Gerelli also went to the Automotoretro of Torino and returned with these images of the 2008 event.

Needs light restoration but the chickens are free.

In the parking outside the 2008 Automotoretro in Turin, this late model of the Fiat 500 might be the symbol of the event: an old car still perfectly working with original plate and a wonderful pair of skis from the 1950s.

In Paris I found my Autobianchi Abarth 70hp in blue at the French Retro show; here is one exactly like the one I owned in the late seventies in a nice racing red color (and a lot of mud as mine was often used to be after a rallye test drive).
