Great looking car and a great colour choice.
Tell us more about your planned journey to Italy - route, interesting places to stop on the way, distances etc. I take it you'll be breaking the journey up into stages?
Coincidentally I've been thinking about a cross-continent road trip to Italy (and maybe onwards to the Greek Islands) myself. From my location in East Anglia the Harwich ferry across to Holland is the most convenient route into Europe, so any advice/experiences you can offer regarding the run from Holland to Italy would be very useful.
