Bologna Italy, Day 4

RichardReina Uncategorized

Today I focused on the one (huge) building with spare parts, and it was as amazing as yesterday. There was a combination of vendors selling new reproduction parts, and vendors selling old original parts. There was nothing in particular I needed, but I did take the business cards of several Alfa Romeo parts vendors.

Many book vendors were in attendance
Just like an American flea market, you need to know what you are looking for
Signs and other automobilia were plentiful
Lots of model cars, including this one with Donald Duck
I took a quick walk through the motorcycle hall, although motorbikes are not a big interest for me
The most interesting find of the day was this Iso Isetta, the original bubble car, which was built under license later by BMW

  2. Back in the day when other cars on the road in Europe were small (and slower at top speed than today’s vehicles), this might’ve stood a chance if hit by another car. I can’t imagine what would happen nowadays if an SUV plowed into one. How times have changed!

    It almost looks like the front door was pulled off another car and screwed onto this one, not quite a smooth match. Definitely unusual on many levels.
