Fiat has decided to pick up valuable cars out of the Alfa museum collection and put them on the market in order to get money, arguedly to help renewing the museum itself. They should be currently in the process of choosing which cars they will sell out.
Again, I agree with my Italian Alfisti friends that such a news deserves our strongest protest. The Alfa Romeo museum is a patrimony of all Alfa enthusiasts, representing an heritage which is NOT at disposal of Fiat's bean counters.
Any other make, when celebrating its centenary, offers parties, events and gadgets in order to capitalize on the brand image. It is unheard that such an event is the occasion for parting out with the historical patrimony, to fail to organize properly the event, and to just market insanely overpriced items such as the €500, 200 pages book, or the twin cars set where 2X 140€ become 500 just because it's inside a "centenary" logo-ed showcase.
