This marks the fifth occasion that an Alfa Romeo has secured this award, following in the footsteps of the Brera, 8C Competizione, 8C Spider, TZ3, and Alfa Romeo 4C Concept models. Notably, Alfa Romeo is the only brand to have won both the “Coppa d’Oro” and the “Design Concept Award” in the same year.

This year, the spotlight was on the new 33 Stradale, which embodies the Italian brand’s prowess in design and driving dynamics, both now and in the future. The new custom-built vehicle is directly inspired by the Tipo 33, a celebrated name in the automotive world and an icon of the 1960s, still revered as one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Limited to just 33 exclusive units, this two-seater coupé marries heritage with futuristic design, produced through an artisanal process reminiscent of Renaissance workshops and the 1960s ateliers of famed Italian coachbuilders.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
