A Lancia Aurelia B20 GT at Sestriere. This really should be a FIAT as Sestriere was built in the '30's by the FIAT factory as a summer and winter sport retreat for its workers; it's about 60 miles from FIATS home town of Turin (where, incidentally, this Lancia was registered). Mass outdoor healthy activities was a big thing with right wing dictators (now-a-days they just get rich and fat on the backs off the workers, right kids?).

I've been skiing there, it's pretty bleak and was very very cold.

Hyde Park Corner, mid 1930's I guess. What's all this I hear about congestion charges? Also, all moderns look the same. And are all the same, dull, colour (resale silver black)
