Which classic should I buy? If money and opportunity weren’t an issue: the choice between Alfa Romeo and Zagato was tough. It doesn’t have to be boring mainstream or flat luxury. Let’s dig deeper into the tech box: for the last 70 years, all kinds of fun cars have been mounted on wheels that hardly anyone has on their radar screen.
