This should count as an "Unusual Spot"
24 Triumph Spitfires, all in immaculate condition, and all parked up at The Vatican waiting to be driven into St Peter's Square.
Hardly anyone else who was there seemed to think it was unusual.
I was going to wait incase anyone important looked out one of the big windows upstairs but....

Does anyone else see the irony in a pile of Spitfires in the country which made the Alfa Spider?

Pity the description did not say how much the original conversion cost the owner, bet it was a small packet and probably would have bought you a decent sports car at the time. Does have a lovely quirkiness about it

Full on Alitalia livery? See that around Ayrshire and Glasgow quite often, pretty sure it's a replica.
