A gallery of images from the biggest car museum in
Italy, the 'Museo dell'Automobile "Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia" ' at Turin.
With dozens of (mainly) Italian cars, this museum
is a must for all Italian car enthusiasts.
The museum is housed in an impressive, purpose-built building. Cars vary from the 1922 OM 469N (left) to a couple of recent Ferrari F1 cars (below left), via the unusually designed Legnano 6/8 HP of 1908 (below). | |
Cars from motorsport continue
with a 1907 Fiat 130 Grand Prix (above) and a 1953 Lancia D24 from the
Carrera Panamerica (above right). A Lambda chassis (right) shows the ground-breaking
technology employed, whilst a tiny Temperino 8/10HP (below) from 1920 was
one of the first microcars. A Fiat 8HP (below right) from 1901 is one
of the oldest cars.

The beautiful Cisitalia 202S
MM (above) has some aerodynamic similarities to the advanced Fiat Turbina
(right). More unusual are the running boards on the Itala 35/45 HP (above
right) from 1907, the car which completed the Paris-Peking rally of that
year, and the rear of the 1926 Alfa Romeo RLSS (below right), obviously
inspired by a boat.

A variety of inter-war saloon include the 1929 OM 469 S2 (above left) and the 1932 Lancia Augusta (left). |
