This could become a tradition in Asker. When mothers and children need to do their shopping for the start of school, it's good to have a place where the fathers can sit in the meantime. Just fill the square with beautiful Italian cars - Italian Car Day, and the problem is solved.
Maserati
The Maserati 228 is a variant of the Maserati Biturbo. It is larger, more luxurious, and has a 2.8 liter 18V engine. According to the vehicle registry, there are only two Maserati 228s in Norway.
The Royale was a – for its time – super-luxurious and rare variant of the Quattroporte 3, powered by a 4.9 liter V8. Only 53 cars were built. The car in the picture was sold new in Norway to the shipping company Bergersen D Y.
Classic Ferrari for sale
An elderly couple passed this car as I was taking a picture. They were surprised to see the square transformed into Italian Car Day. Both admired the red Ferrari. «Mustangs», the old man declared. "Those were nice cars!" Hm ... "Ferrari California T", I thought to myself. But we were both wrong. This is a Ferrari Portofino – the successor to the California T. The engine is in the front anyway, and is a mid-mounted 3.9 twin turbo V8.
Lancia
Lancia has made several models that have done very well in rally and track racing. In retrospect, it may seem as if they gave the engineers free rein to create innovative and creative solutions, while no one cared about the economy. In 1970, Fiat took over Lancia and ensured further progress – and new models – even though many believed that Fiat put a damper on creativity. The slogan “Lancia – The Most Italian car” is true, and the brand is well respected here at home through Norwegian Lancia Club.
Fiat
Fiat 128 3P – which probably stands for 3 doors – were popular cars around 1980. I remember them as simple, beautiful and easy to drive. The impression is probably true today too. Great pleasure to see a car like that again. A great representative at Italian Car Day.
