Patrick is recognized internationally for his considerable knowledge of, and countless years of study in, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo marques. Whether the project involves the preservation of an excellent original example, or the complete body-off restoration of someone’s daily driver, he is sought out as the consummate resource for those two beloved Italians!

He drove a very unique treasure he has acquired: an original 70-plus year old Figoni-bodied Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 drophead (above), which was the visual for his presentation on preserving, rather than restoring, this unique example of auto history.
