Peter, there have been several posts about buying a car in Italy and driving it home ..... all sorts of problems with Italian plates and associated bureaucracy. How have you managed to get around these problems?

I like the car aerial position. Never seen one there before!

I'm puzzled! You appear to be driving it home on the original Roma registration plates; I thought from previous threads that these could only be retained if the new owner was domiciled in Italy; otherwise temporary export plates had to be bought at vast expense. Have we been misinformed? edit: I see Andy has already asked the question  |

Looks just like the 1.8 Berlina my friend at European Classic Cars says he had delivered today. He sent me the photo below. I'm going to have a look at it tomorrow... will report back. Just think Peter, there was no need for that trip to Italy, you could have bought one on your doorstep!!  |

Brian, that will depend on the hinge set up. On the Flaminia the hinges are placed so the leading edge of the boot lid drops down into a recess.

Over the years, I have always driven my latest purchase home. Just leaving Reims after a splendid stop over. Nearly 1700kms down and Calais in a couple of hours. Why would you do it any other way.

I beg to differ, it may be broken but part of the aerial is still in place. Brian 8227 |

You must have remarkable eye sight Brian, I wouldn't be able to tell whether the aerial was broken off or just retracted. Anyway, the position is exactly the same as my Flaminia as shown below.

Frank, I blew the picture right up and it looks more like it's broken not retracted and certainly not as much as on your Flaminia. Brian 8227 |

Well, now back home with car tucked up in the garage. Superb trip, and worked out exactly to plan.
