Oh, those big ugly monsters we used to hate. We were never quite sure of what they were, this or that, somewhere between the superlative 8Cs and the diminutive Giuliettas and yet not quite 1900s. And in fact the 6C2300/2500 cars which are the focus of H.-J. Döhren’s latest book, were not made for young middle class post war car enthusiasts, but as one of the most expensive cars on the market, they were boulevardiers designed for the classiest and richest of clients who could appreciate the coachwork, revel in the size and luxury, and own the latest in automotive technology from DOHC engines to full four wheel independent suspension.

Our man from the U.K. is a real trooper. Jonathan Sharp liked Vernasca so much last year that despite getting ill while in Italy, he wanted to go again this year, and did. And again was caught out by a some sort of bug. Yet he stayed the course (literally) and came back home with hundreds of great images, so many that we had to separete them into three stories. We owe a huge debt to Sharp for his over-the-top accomplishment. Below, thirty Alfas at Vernasca; Part 2, also in this edition, features Abarth and others.

Vernascas’s Silver Flag event was held on June 17-19. It is becoming very popular and the entry list consists of over two hundred cars, many of which are rarely seen at other events.

So exciting is the event that of course Sharp wants to return again next year. We hope he does. Ed.
