On June 7. 2006  the designer of the Fiat 124 Spider, Tom Tjaarda, sent me the following mail:

Dear Mr. Westen,
Thought that you might be interested to see these two paintings by Giorgio Alisi. Giorgio has done automotive illustrations for more than fourty years, first for QUATTRORUOTE and today he is still very active and many of his designs are published in a variety of magazines.

These two drawings were given to me during a meeting in Torino at the automotive museum, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Fiat 124 Spider. Alberto Brancolini organized this encounter which included a discussion on the 124 Spider and a tour of Lingotto plus a very nice lunch at the museum.

All the best

Tom Tjaarda

The drawings that Tom Tjaarda is referring to in his mail and that he has sent me, are represented below.
Additionally you find some drawings of Enzo Ferrari, Nuccio Bertone and several other illustrations created by Giorgio Alisi.
