Help Is Everywhere...

BerlinaSo AONE member Todd Arnow had decided to put his trusty (that’s trusty) ‘71 Berlina 1750 up for sale, having replaced it with an immaculate ‘69 Giulia Super that he found while on a trip to Europe. He was asking $2200 for the car, a reasonable price. Then, when the September 11 terrorist attack occurred, an inspiration befell him. He decided to offer the car at $1000, with the entire amount going to the New York Times 9/11 Fund, to aid the families of the victims of the tragedy. Perhaps you read his Classified Ad in the last issue of Velocissima.

Well, Todd’s Berlina has a new owner! Mark Patterson of Falmouth, MA stepped up to the plate, wrote a check for $1000 to the 9/11 Fund, and drove it away! Next time you see an Oliva Metallizzato Berlina driving around Cape Cod, give it a big thumbs up, because this is a very special car. Kudos to both Todd and Mark on the execution of this very special deal.

Hey Mark—why not offer rides in your new Berlina at $25 a pop, with all proceeds going you-know-where...   Tiny Quadrifoglio
