Cars of ICF Are you a serious car enthusiast? Then you need to attend ItalianCarFest. Seeing some of the cars that are shown at ICF is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Below are highlights from our past shows - some of the rare, unusual and historic cars. 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport This car was privately entered in two runnings of the original Mille Miglia.
Although a privateer car, it was supported by Scuderia Ferrari (before building his own cars, Enzo Ferrari ran the race team for Alfa Romeo). 1983 DeTomaso Longchamp GTS DeTomaso was made famous by the Pantera and most people know a Pantera when they see it.
But the DeTomaso Longchamp is very rare, especially in the U.S.
The GTS model is even more so.
Bugatti EB110 SS Yes, Bugatti was originally a French company.
But after being out of business for many years, the name was resurrected by an Italian company.
The car you see here is an Italian designed and built Bugatti.
The SS model featured multiple turbos and over 600 horsepower.
Ferrari F40 Prototype - 1987 This was the very first F40 built.
Used for testing, it has some differences from a standard F40.
And it is believed that this car was driven by Enzo Ferrari himself.
1959 Fiat Abarth 750 Zagato Double-Bubble The couple that owned this car bought it in the late 50's or early 60's.
They kept the car for quite a while, but ended up selling it.
Much later they decided they wanted another one and tracked down the original car, purchased it in pretty poor condition and restored it.
1961 Ferrari 250 SWB You don't see many of these vintage Ferraris around.
This car has competition harnesses and is still taken out on the track!
1967 Alfa Romeo Gran Sport Quattroruote Zagato Roadster A 60's 'replica', on a modern chassis, of the 1930's 1750 Gran Sport (one can be seen above).
But replica may not be a good description considering it was built by Alfa and Zagato, the two responsible for the original Gran Sport.
Only 92 were made.
According to previous owners, this car was the one used in the filming of the movie "Deadlier Than The Male" starring Elke Sommer, released in 1967.

1968 Lamborghini Islero 400GT The Isleros are fairly rare cars.
But this one was owned by Ferruccio Lamborghini himself - it was his personal driver of the Islero model.
It features a custom wood gas cap which was added for him because of his appreciation of woodwork on boats from the period.
1971 Iso Grifo Series 2 Like the DeTomasos, the Iso is another car with Italian style powered by a U.S. motor.
This car features a high-performance Corvette motor.
Interestingly, it also features an automatic transmission.
Chevrolet did not offer this engine with an automatic in the Corvette, but Iso special-ordered the engine/auto combination.

1966 Lamborghini 400GT A rare and absolutely stunning car.
1971 and 1973 Intermeccanica Indra Intermeccanica is another marque combining Italian style and American power.

1935 Fiat 508S Mille Miglia Aerodynamica Coupe This Fiat spent most of its life in Italy and one of the previous owners was the Mayor of Milan.
Was also entered in some recent runnings of the Mille Miglia.
1971 Intermeccanica Italia Another beautiful Intermeccanica.
1961 Ferrari 3Z Zagato SWB California This very unusual car was shown by our friend from Oklahoma, Toly.

2003 Ferrari Enzo Always popular with the crowd, we have had an Enzo at three out of the four ICF shows.
1960 Bandini Formula Jr. Front-engined and powered by a Fiat 1100, the car has a top speed of 132 to 137 MPH.
1991 Ferrari F40 The F40 was the first supercar that really got a lot of public exposure and recognition.
People everywhere knew about its high level of performance and expensive pricing.
1995 Ferrari F50 Ferrari's magnificent follow-up to the F40 supercar.
