Was awoken by loud engines last Sunday around 7:00 AM in Bologna, Italy and discovered the "Mille Miglia" rally point right below my window! If you are a "car person" you will understand my excitement in discovering this event right in my "back yard".....But I couldn't ID the this car....Can you?
Looks like a convertible model or later model of this car:

PS. I know I had an "autobleu" header on my engine, small 4 cyl engine under 1000cc at the time....ran like a bat outta hell though ! :)
PPS. they say it is a "rare, priceless" car !

The coachwork suggests Zagato to me, whatever it is it is wonderful.
Thanks for posting.

You are right Tucson Coyote it is a 4cv Renault Auto bleu , there was one in pieces 18 years ago in Vermont , the next year I went back and someone from France came and hauled it back there . Nice little bombs ,like the Gordini R8 so to speak
I don't know what it is but it sure is UGLY.
Seems like the uglier they make those foreign cars the more people rave over them. :thumbdown:

Ugly is an opinion. I don't think it is ugly at all.

Well Bart, everyone has their own taste in cars, I personally think that the new cars coming off the assembly lines today are nothing short of ugly. I really enjoy the picture of the car posted, it has character and style. I also think that the Buick Rivera of the 1999 vintage was one of the most beautiful cars we ever produced.

That GullWing looks like an "Alloy" I just saw one sold at Auction at 4.2 Million.
There were at least a dozen gull wings! I figure at any one time there was over $5.0 million in iron in my "backyard"!
