Just snapped this one this morning. What is it?

A car park?

Part of a ship?

That's not in Turin is it!

It's not a carpark. It is in Turin.

The old Fiat factory leading up to the roof test track...

As seen in the Italian job?

MrPea · Apr 30, 2016

Precisely chaps!
I'm not sure if I can get up there, but I'm going to try tomorrow. Although, if it's torrential thunder storms like today, I may not...

Surprised it's still standing and not been knocked down or converted into flats. They've stopped production from there haven't they?

I was told the way to get on the roof race track is if you are staying at the hotel that is within the building and say you would like to go for a jog - they give you a key for the roof door. Not sure how you can do it if not staying at the hotel but the hotel concierge is probably your best bet. I'm not sure if the glass globe shape restaurant is still open - last time I was there was 2006.

As above...saw a documentary on Italian design and Mussolini. The presenter blagged a jog up there as well.

The old Lingotto factory is now a listed building, the architecture is just amazing...

Yes you can still go up to the roof and on the old test track, fantastic view of Turin from up there!

Unfortunately not. BA is my main means of transport, but can't wait to get Myfanwy out next weekend for the Vulcan run.

I remember Abbott Motorsport in the late 70's,what with running those hot Saabs over the Hackney Marches!

I previously owned an MG Metro many years ago but what i always really wanted was one of these.

casadalloro · May 2, 2016

Round at a friends house Sunday week ago.... He has a 6R4 and a Lancia Montecarlo in red with an original 037 bodykit on it in his garage.... Also has a Sierra Cosworth GrN, a Citroen C2 R2, a historic Poesche 911 and his current rally car, a millington powered Darrian T9 in another garage......

Rather nice collection....

Andyk · May 2, 2016

Unfortunate...

casadalloro · May 2, 2016

Great driver that mixed it (and beat) the best, and a really nice guy... Still loves his rallying and got a top 10 and class win at Anglesy about a month ago in the Darrian...hes 72 now!!

Got him driving my Maser last summer and he was really surprised.... More "go" than he thought it would have and handled great!
