 The ones you list are IMHO largely "hanger queens" that only see the light
 of day at the odd concours or only when the sun shines.
 
 I was at an Italian car show at Hot Springs, AK a few years ago.  I drove my
 79 Alfetta daily driver from Houston, ran it through a car wash and put it
 on display (it was an open show).  I got some nice comments.  There was also
 a very nice Lamborghine Espada (and a few others) also from Houston.  It
 came and went on a covered trailer towed behind a Suburban.

Ah sorry to say Jerry, but this is no "Hanger Queen" Event! All the above 
mentioned Alfas along with most of the Ferraris, Lamborghini etc.. then spent 
2 days of HIGH SPEED driving at Pocono International Raceway, with 
Professional Instruction from both the Skip Barber & Bertil Roos Racing 
Schools. NEXT EXCUSE
