NEWPORT, Rhode Island (January 21, 2020) – Audrain, LLC CEO Donald Osborne will serve on an elite judging panel of industry experts on January 24th to choose the top three most significant Italian automobiles from a select group of honored cars with origins ranging from the earliest years in motoring history up until present that are participating in an exhibition to celebrate the 115th anniversary of the Automobile Club d’Italia (ACI). Named “La Storia dell’ACI è la Storia dell’Auto” (The History of the ACI and the History of the Automobile), the exhibition at the internationally-famous Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile in Turin is honoring the vast history and contribution made to the international automotive community by Italian manufacturers, coachbuilders, leaders and other entities and will showcase a beautifully-curated time capsule of information and cars for viewing, including such examples as a 1908 Fiat 18/24 HP, 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, 1954 Fiat 8V, 1971 Lamborghini Miura and 2019 Ferrari Monza SP1. Founded in 1927, the ACI is the largest and most important club in Italy for car owners that serves in promoting and regulating the automotive sector in adherence to European and Italian regulations.
“As a passionate enthusiast and collector of Italian coachbuilt cars as well as having dedicated many years of my professional automotive career to studying and working with these cars, I am very honored to have been asked to participate in the 115th anniversary exhibition of the Automobile Club d’Italia at the esteemed Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile,” says Osborne. “And as we continue our own development at Audrain, LLC for our museum, Concours & Motor Week and the launch of the Audrain Motorsport club, traveling and making connections between Newport and the rest of the automotive world is a key part of my contribution as CEO.”
