A 1946 Bertone cabriolet one-off. It's a 1486cc engine with 6V electric system. The first owner, president of the Novara football team, ordered an extra-series colour, the same pale blue of the Novara F.C. coat. The car was recently restored and appeared for the first time in an exhibition.

Lovely cars, with fascinating details. Unfortunately, the light blue does the Novara FC car no favors.

Thanks for posting those; can't wait to see the rest...

That B12 is absolutely remarkable.

But all of the spectators seen to have very fuzzy heads> Is that as result of the German E. Coli outbreak we've been hearing about?

[PG1964]

....no, the fact is i cancel everytime the faces and the plates for privacy reason.

The Aprilia Bertone is an "amulet car": it's appeared for the first time in a public exhibition and the Novara F.C. won the campionship in the same day and comes back to the premier league after 55 years !
