"REMINISCING" - JULY 2007


1907 ITALA # 1 MEETS 1907 ITALA # 1


THIS WAS A GREAT DAY FOR US :-)

WE HAD JUST RETURNED WITH OUR ITALA FROM THE "CENTENARY PEKING TO PARIS" IN 2007 WHEN WE WERE INVITED DOWN TO THE RAC CLUB IN LONDON TO MEET UP WITH THE "BORGHESE" ITALA FROM THE "BISCARETTI" MUSEUM IN TURIN.
WE HAD SPECIAL PERMISSION TO "DISPLAY" OUR RATHER GRUBBY ITALA OUTSIDE THE CLUB WHILST THE IMMACULATE "BORGHESE" ITALA WAS BEING DISPLAYED INSIDE THE RAC CLUB ON THE RUGS!


* NOTE - EVEN THE "BORGHESE" ITALA DRIPS A LITTLE OIL*

WE MET WITH THE DRIVER AND RESTORER OF THE "BORGHESE" ITALA AND EXCHANGED SEATS AND BIG HAND SHAKES FOR THE FIRST TIME!


THE "BORGHESE" ITALA WAS ABOUT TO EMBARK ON THEIR OWN
 "CENTENARY" CELEBRATIONS
