Classic Cars at Toldboden - Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider and Lancia Flaminia GT

It has been quite a while, since I visited the shores of Toldboden. Travelling around for various events I could hardly believe two months passed since I went to the meet-up last. However, taking into account the perfect summer weather, combined with the all-so-special turn-out it was well-worth waiting.

The star of the day was the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. To me the Spider is the second-best design of the Giulietta, but honestly – is it fair for this stunning automobile to be compared to the Sprint Speciale? Just look at all its details! The front grille, sleek body lines and fantastic cockpit with the typical Alfa-style dashboard, manual gear-stick and the Pininfarina logo right in the center. It does look perfect and additional kudos to the owner for a funny, Pinocchio-alike key-chain!

Not too far away from it, in front of the Toldboden restaurant there was another Italian special. Born in 1963 and this time from Turin was Lancia Flaminia GT bodied by Carrozzeria Touring. Not too many people are aware of the fact that this particular Gran Turismo is quite rare a car. With the 2.8-litre engine there were only 168 pieces ever produced!

If I wanted to describe all the beautiful vehicles that arrived that sunny afternoon this article would be far too long. There was a beautiful Mercedes 250SE in light blue, matched with red interior and a fantastic Jaguar Mark II, Porsche 356 Speedster and Morgan 4/4.
