Ever wondered what owning a Ferrari V12 is like? Now could be your moment to live out that fantasy: our guide to buying V12 Ferraris showing exactly what to look for in six classics, available from as little as £40,000. Alfa Romeo enthusiasts will delight in the story of a freshly restored 6C 2500 Berlina, as well as our exclusive track test of two AlfaWorks racers – including the world’s first manual gearbox 4C. The affordable mid-engined revolution began in the 1970s in Italy, and we investigate just how interlinked the Fiat X1/9 and Lancia Montecarlo were. Scoring a sensational goal is a Fiat Panda Italia ’90 special edition, one of a handful of survivors, and we’ve got lots of design stories, including a true oddball you’ve probably never heard of. On, and of course full reports on Italian car events in the UK and Italy, a drive to Sardinia, and introducing our very own Fiat Multipla.
