Our personal favorites from Villa d'Este
Now that our colleagues from Classic Driver have picked out their favorites, we want to show our colors and present six vehicles that we particularly liked.
Firstly, there is the Maserati A6G/54 Spider by Zagato from 1955, which even today still looks extremely appealing and almost timeless. We also liked the two Frua models, and the choice of the Zagato version should be seen as "primus inter pares" after the Ferrari took the prizes in this class.
For us, it was an extraordinary experience to see the first Lamborghini ever built, the 350 GTV from 1963, in the flesh. That's why it should not be missing from our list of favorites.
Isotta-Fraschinivehicles are rare and always classy and beautiful. Castagna's 1930 car is no exception, which is why it also belongs on our list.
We have a soft spot for Lagondas and when we saw the curved exhaust pipes of the 1937 LG45 Rapide Open Tourer, it was also on our list of personal favorites.
The small Talbot-Lago T14 from 1956 looks very elegant and dynamic at the same time, offering interesting curves and details, a very harmonious design with balanced proportions.
And since we have a weakness for compact sports cars and have always liked the Bandini creations , the Bandini 750 Siluro from 1955 naturally also belongs in our selection.
And because we can't count, an additional car slips onto our list of favorites. It's the Ferrari 250 LM from 1964. Our photos are too beautiful, this Pininfarina design is too breathtaking.
Only when you try to select a few cars yourself do you realize how difficult it is to eliminate beautiful and magnificent vehicles. The jury's work was not easy this year in Cernobbio either ...
A comprehensive report on the Corso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este has been published, which of course also contains the large-format pictures of the vehicles presented here.
