Including a rather impressive van and Phil Collins’ Nash Metropolit­an.

As a former employee of the Fiat group where I was a Director for 13 years during the Eighties, I became an enthusiast for all cars Italian. My devotion to Italian cars was enhanced when I was given an Alfa Romeo 164 3.0 Super to drive for a weekend. When a 164 of the same spec came up for sale two years ago, I snapped it up. Having spent many thousands of pounds bringing it to the condition that you can see here, it is now time for me to let another Alfa Romeo enthusiast enjoy it. People admire the Pininfarin­adesigned profile, and the magnificen­t V6 24v engine. I also own another Italian stallion Maserati Coupé Cambiocors­a V8. The 4200GT has a Ferrari engine producing peak torque of 332lb ft, Giugiaro autographe­d bodywork and it has more bite than a cafè doppio. With a chrome trident reflecting the sunlight the car is a real keeper.
