Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile di Torino, a British perspective. It's quite odd...

  • Look out for the odd bits during this enjoyable visit to the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile di Torino, or National Motor Museum of Turin. We follow the history of powered vehicles right back to the theories of Leonardo da Vinci to the future of Lancia. Typewriters worryingly lacking but there is a frankly unnecessary fairground ride, a sad robot and a Fiat Doblo fridge.

    A great walkaround Ian, definitely some weird stuff though. I had to smile at the "watch out for the bed bugs", Th Abath (play on Abarth) and " a door, so you can open a window if it gets too cold", possibly meant too hot. 🙃. Many thanks for sharing.

    My Great Grandfather Bought an Oldsmobile Curved Dash around 1903 in Melbourne Australia. As shown in Newspaper Advertisements of the Day you had to do a two week Course before taking delivery. He then drove it on mostly Dirt Roads to Buffalo Creek to pick up his wife but she stayed to have their first baby. Then went onto Wagga Wagga NSW. A trip well over 300 miles or 500 klms. So days were involved. He did No damage throughout the entire trip until he drove it through the open gate on his Farm and just caught the Fence Post denting one side of the curve. After the baby was born he drove back to Buffalo Creek picked up his wife and New Child and the last of their possessions to settle on their new farm in near Wagga Wagga.

It was all a bit dark , but it was fun and the car access was superb. The Alfa Romeo museum in Milan would be right to your street. I hope to get to the FCA collection in Turin at some point.

In the 1965 European Car of the Year award, the front-wheel drive Austin 1800 won, with the front-wheel drive Primula coming second.

    Talking of Fiat 500s not made in Italy (tenuous link), I see Alfa Romeo have had to rename the recently launched Milano. Understandably, the Italian government were a bit miffed that it wasn't actually made in Milan, but in Poland. They are going to rename it the Junior, but for my money, the Alfa Romeo Tichy would be a great name for a small (in 2020s terms) car.
