Targa!

516



acrylic on paper 5x7" (1 0f 3) sold

the most romantic race in the world,
Targa Florio in Sicily,
the last of the old style races on public roads,
founded in 1906,
a 45 miles long mountain circuit with over 800 corners,
lined by half a million hysterical Italians.
The 45th edition in 1970 was once again dominated by Porsche,
.
above is the Siffert/Redman 908 Spider
tearing through one of the villages along the track!
