A rather lovely 1955 Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta – a two seat spider regarded as the progenitor of all subsequent short-block racers. The barchetta was built by Touring of Milan to commemorate Ferrari’s 1948 victory in the Mille Miglia.

Yours for a trifling $8-10 million.

Would any of your readers know of a decent, non-crowded hill walk within an hour’s drive of Dublin?  Somewhere off the beaten track and preferably in a loop and between 12-18km. I am taking a party of English people [in early March] and would like to show off the countryside in the best possible light. Thank you.

Anyone?
