AutoItalia – September 2018

LATEST ISSUE
ON SALE 1st AUGUST

There’s a definite ‘lost cause’ theme running through our September issue. One of the biggest fish to slip through the net was Alfa Romeo’s 155 GTA Stradale of 1993, long lost but now found – and driven by us. The Aga Khan’s 1974 Maserati Quattroporte would surely have made a great production prospect. Speaking of which we have six pages devoted to Italy’s greatest concept cars that should have made production, but tragically didn’t, such as our Alfa 33/2 cover car. We also pop round to Horacio Pagani’s place to see his Lamborghini Countach. If you like small cars, you need to read our Abarth 500 buyers’ guide, while for a bit more money, you could own a Ferrari – check out our guide to every sub-£50,000 model.
