Not even a camera phone, I would have loved to see both the SL and the 959.

Someone more knowledgeable than I will have to identify this Alfa.

Here's a current model.

And here's the Rolls at the Tokyo Peninsula.

The SL lives in town, so I should be able to catch it at some point. It was the first time I've seen the 959. I was walking, and both cars were stopped, so it would have been easy to get a good shot.

It is a 1900 Zagato Super Sprint (SSZ), circa 1957.

The Z3Coupe is on the way to become a classic. Gute deutsche Konstrukteursarbeit

Damn, that's one nice Alfa.

While I think I may see more new expensive cars with more frequency here in SoFLA, I think Tokyo has us beat when it comes to perfectly preserved / restored classics.

I saw two of those Maseratis in Shanghai.

One of my favorite cars growing up, along with the McLaren F1, Ferrari F40, Jaguar XJ220 and Lamborghini Diablo. Crazy ******* cars, man, crazy ******* cars.
