One for Giulio.
Lancia Flaminia Superleggera Touring
seen here high in the Alpujarras. Worth in the region of £300,000, grand European touring doesn't come in a more elegant package.

Thx Andrew....This is really a dream car...and I'm old enough to remember when I was a child that this car was one for rich and snob peoples....Cracking shot and car. Thx Andrew...and when this car was in the mind of Engineers there were no computers....Today a lot of "electronic"but "no brain"...even "sex"through a "computer"....better in the past

Cars are way better now, Giulio: more reliable, easier to drive, virtually rust-proof but you're right, they lack heart and soul. Designed by computer and built by robots.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I keep expecting Roger Moore to walk in to the shot

Agree with Bill - very evocative

Great shot Andrew

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
