Visitors to the plush official residence of the Italian ambassador for the official West End launch of Iveco's new Stralis couldn't have failed to miss the splendid Ferrari-red example sitting proudly outside the ambassador's front door at 4 Grosvenor Square. Said artic was also spotted by a keen-eyed traffic warden who approached it with the look of a man who thought Christmas and his birthday had come at once. Imagine his chagrin upon discovering that the Stralis was perfectly entitled to park in front of His Excellency's house. The beaming smile was soon replaced by the sound of grinding teeth as the frustrated warden slunk off into the night.
