It’s not a race—just a scenic, 1,000-mile road trip for owners of highly collectable sports and racing cars, mostly built before 1960. Think Ferrari 250 GT SWBs, 250 Testarossas, Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwings, pre-war Bentleys, Aston Martin DB4 GTs, Jaguar D Types, and all kinds of other sporting classics touring the Rockies at their own pace. \n\nJoining on today’s episode is Tazio Ottis, Derek’s business partner who joined him on the rally, and joins us to discuss the event and his 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint that he and Derek drove below and above 10,000 feet of elevation. \n\nFor contrast, Tazio and Derek also discuss their recent company 'Shitbox' Rally around Northern California - a very different departure from TCG comprised only of $2,000 cars.  Derek brings his salvage title Mercedes-Benz C280, Tazio finds an MG Midget, and joining the old car crusade is a 1976 Datsun 280Z and Triumph Spitfire. \n\nAll this and more, on today’s episode of The Carmudgeon Show.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
