In May, Ivan and Suzie drove down to Italy with the Hall and Scott to take part in the Coppa della Perugina, a four day event centred on Perugia. This video covers both the trip down through France and Italy in the Sprinter Van, with the Hall and Scott in the back, then our antics in Italy. We had entered the Hall and Scott in the rally but the weather was fairly challenging, so we were pleased to have sent down the Ferrari in advance so we had a back up set of wheels for the longer drives and for the very wet weather. Anyway we had a lot of fun, as always, met some lovely people, drove through some fabulous countryside and welcoming towns and we’ve even got footage of Ivan going around the racetrack at Magione in a thunderstorm.

I agree the the little fiat Zagato is the best car
I'm the guy who takes off the hood in the Zagato, I'm really glad to have met you guys!
What a time you had Ivan! Good cars, good (and bad) weather, and most of all, good company, enjoy it to the full, (but watch out for the speed cameras). Chris B.
Ivan Love this channel, 75 year old car nut
Oh my god, you two are delightful 🙂 Thanks for bringing us along! What wonderful countryside, what beautiful cars, what abundant joie de vivre!
That view is like when I lived in Queenstown. Ironically, The Remarkables were named by a Frenchman… Thumb for getting the 100000 shot!
Excellent video thank you Ivan and Suzie. Many more happy birthdays to you Ivan
Drive interesting vehicles into the middle of a town in Italy and you are welcomed as heroes. Drive interesting vehicles in to the middle of a town in England and you get fined! Living the dream guys😎
Brilliant, glad the trip went well. Looks like you're off to Japan next year.
What no spit pin on the drop arm ????? Ed 40 s of Vegas

Great watching your adventure really enjoyed it hats off to you and suzi for all the work.
Brilliant film!
Both entertaining and very inspiring!
Absolutely fantastic journey you’ve presented with some fine workmanship and superb engineering doing what they should do with some fabrication work completed on the way
Keep chipping away 👌
Magic!
Happy birthday Ivan ! thrilled for you to have been able to do this trip …….in a 250 California Spyder no less 🙂
Happy Birthday! Another much enjoyed and much appreciated show. Really super.
Great episode. Well done! Loved seeing all the great cars. I really liked seeing the Alfa Especiani.
What is the white car at 42:24? I have a plastic model of it I inherited and never knew what it was.
I absolutely love this channel—who knows, I may run across you two while traveling with my wife about Europe during July. ❤️🔧✌🏻
Another brilliant video Ivan, love watching Shed Racing😊
Oh So Fun thanks Shelby would have loved a Tractor with his named on it magic
I’m only a fifth of the way into the video, it’s great; thoroughly enjoying it 👍
1:02 I had the "honour" of watching (and photographing, no video) my 2002 Honda Civic 150i scroll from 199000 to 200000 and again from 299000 to 300000km. Both occasions the car was in identical running and looking condition (except for the inevitable supermarket rash). The only (apart from normal service items) new part I ever bought in 14 years for that car was a windscreen wiper link that wore out. The air-con was never re-gassed and still worked like a new one, no wheel bearings replaced, original clutch, zero oil leaks, it once stood still for 3 months (my error, I just kept forgetting to start it every once in a while), and it started right up and sat there purring away…fantastic car. The buyer couldn't believe the condition when I eventually sold it, for no other reason than it was used just less and less, and I needed money for my daughter to have an expensive dental operation.
So glade to see Ivan didn't wear socks with his sandals🤣
Beauty, beauty and more beauty, and that is just the views.
I often wish I had been born in Italy, my favourite beautiful country to travel around.
They have had some mad weather in Italy this spring and early summer. I have been watching the cycling Giro de Italia and they have had lots of inclement weather, lightening and the kitchen sink thrown at them, very unpredictable.
Happy birthday Ivan, one year older than me!. Love your videos. Keep on tinkering.
Sit down in front of a computer and enjoy a tour through Europe with Ivan and Suzie. fantastic. gary in Japan.
Should have gone to Panigale Ducati factory.
You certainly need to get used to being photographed if you drive a California Spider around Italy.
Always enjoy your videos Ivan, but this one was excellent. I can see you both had a great trip.
Happy Birthday Sir what a great video and a fantastic trip pity about the awful rain keep safe.
What a bloody great trip Ivan… Amazing… What happened to the Hall and Scott?😊
I love your passion–great shoes
I want to be like Ivan when I grow up !
What a great trip, it would have been heaven with all the other fabulous machines. You can take up sking on your 85 birthday. Hope to see more footage of the trip in the future.
