Inaugural: Giuseppi Busso Birthday Drive
Mornington Peninsula
Sunday • April 26 • 2026

An invitation to all Alfa Romeo owners to come and celebrate the birthday of Giuseppe Busso, the designer of the legendary Alfa Romeo V6 (Busso) engine, with a drive through the stunning Mornington Peninsula.

All Alfa Romeo drivers are encouraged to attend. And don't forget that whilst Guiseppe is most famous for the V6, he also designed the 4 cylinder "Nord" engine, that powered Alfa Romeos for decades.

But of course we especially want to see all models that run the V6 Busso motor.

Meeting time: 10.00am

Place: Apple Expresso Café, 630 Moorooduc Hwy, Mornington (enter from Wooralla Drive).

This will be a special event offering a chance to break the serenity of the Mornington Peninsula with the unique sounds of our Busso V6 engines.

About Giuseppe Busso
Giuseppe Busso was born on 27 April 1913 in Turin, Italy.
He is regarded as one of Italy's most significant automotive engineers, contributing to numerous Alfa Romeo designs throughout his distinguished career.

His final project-the 2.5 litre V6-lives on in our Alfa Romeos today, universally recognised as a true mechanical masterpiece.
Remarkably, Busso passed away on 3 January 2006 at age 92, just three days after the final Busso V6 rolled off the production line.

Join us in honouring the legacy, sound, and spirit of the Busso V6 as we partake in a rousing drive though the picturesque Mornington Peninsula. Our drive will take us through the Moorooduc Plains, the grazing land of Tuerong, the vineyards of Red Hill and Main Ridge and the delightful coastal road to Flinders.

Lunch is at the scenic Flinders Golf Club with views over Bass Strait.
