The Padua Show is Italy's biggest classic car exhibition, created in the late 1980s by Carlo Baccaglini. Now held for the 34th time, it has always been the key event for enthusiasts and collectors, in Italy and abroad. It is an event in which "culture, lifestyles, technology and design merge".
FCA Heritage is taking part for the first time with the four Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth brands, united on a single, large stand with 5 gems that have gone down in the history of the brand, and two current models.A way of raising the public's awareness of the past and present of various brands that played a key role in the technological progress and the racing annals of the Twentieth Century.
FCA Heritage presents a selection of cars recently restored by the Officine Classiche team of highly skilled mechanics to take part in two of the biggest events on the year's international calendar, the Mille Miglia and the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Linked by this common theme, the stand will proudly display the Alfa Romeo 33.3 litri Le Mans, the Fiat 525 SS, and the 1937 Lancia Aprilia. Alongside these three classic cars, now in perfect working order, also on the stand will be a rare Fiat 124 Abarth Rally Gr. 4 in yellow-blue Olio Fiat livery from a private collection, just awarded the Authenticity Certificate issued by the Officine Classiche engineers, and a 1946 Lancia Aprilia, recently acquired by the FCA Heritage Department.Last but not least, also two exciting current production models: the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and the new Abarth 124 Spider, cars designed to guarantee thrilling performances and the utmost driving pleasure.
