    Thank you for saving these masterpieces of the Italian car.
    Thanks from Italy

    Da italiano ma soprattutto da Alfista con piacere e consapevolezza posso affermare che in quegli anni Alfa è stata la più grande casa costruttrice di auto!
    Con rammarico e rabbia sono dispiaciuto per quello che oggi è Alfa non solo per colpa dei manager che si sono susseguiti nel tempo ma anche per un'utenza che col tempo ha perso il piacere di guidare una vera auto!

    1000 -3000 hours to restore just one car. Think of the energy it took to do all of them. These are essentially restored kinetic artwork.

  • @MikeJF355
    @MikeJF355 Před 6 lety +23

    The person who owned these beautiful cars was both saintly (for keeping them) and evil ( for not looking after them). Compare the 1961 Bertone Sprint Special with today's Touring of Milan, Disco Volante. Time doesn't seem to have any effect on wonderful design.

      Time. These cars did come to a point in their lives where they were the $500 beater car and may have been collected as such. As for the castle. the old aristocracies of the world have mostly died out due to later generations screwing up what their families gave them. We're lucky if a family business lasts 2-3 generations anymore, so an ancient family castle left to fail isn't really that surprising.

      The Desmaisieres brothers (Michel and Ricardo)
      they were enthusiast collectors of Alfa Romeo cars.
      Michel was a keen racer and raced on the Zolder Circuit at the occasion of the TAC (Telrlaemen Auto Club).
      In 1964 he raced a prototype, known as ‘Le Bolide', powered by a Constantin Supercharger Fiat 1100 engine which finished in fourteenth place, that very car (No9) was also discovered abandoned for decades in a separate out-building next to the castle.
