The 'Trofeo Automobile Club di Como' is awarded to the car driven from the most distant location to the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. This year it was given to Per Viberg of Norway, owner of this 1940 BMW 335 Autenrieth Cabriolet. The restoration shot is showing the car in the state he started with back in 1998. He wanted to drive the car all the way to the event from his native town, Finnsnes, north of the Polar Circle, but when he had to decide how to leave home, it looked like this....! He was by no means short of solutions and made the first leg by 'Hurtigruta ferry' along the Norwegian coast. Embarking in Trondheim, he drove totally 2100 kilometres one way, with a Munich 'pit stop' at BMW Mobile Tradition. There the mechanics just had to change oil and a slightly leaking gasket on the radiator cap before Mr. Viberg could continue the drive to Como. After the weekend there, the car was driven back to Munich, where Mr. Viberg will participate in 'Die Grossen Alpenrally' later this summer before driving it back to Norway. The trip is not the first time Viberg has taken on a great effort with this car. (many thanks to Ivar Engerud from Norway for text and photos)
