    ¡Ohlala, que hermosa máquina, Ricardo!

    So this was your Hispano Olivetti find. I've seen black (of course), taupe, and red but not that beautiful mustard yellow. Looks to be in tip-top shape too. Congratulations!

    Awesome how the ribbon cover flips forward. That's a beautiful machine.

    Very wonderful machine. I have never seen one like it. Your trip must have been really nice.

    I really like how the ribbon cover opens. That alone makes me want one of these. It's like an old sports car.

    I was already coveting a Studio 42. That is a beautiful, typewriter lust inspiring machine.

    Funny that they called it a Studio 46; I immediately thought that was a typo! Great color; indeed, I haven't seen another like it.

    Olé! -- And another cool ribbon-cover design.

    (Hey, how on earth do you take such nice pictures? Do you have a studio set up for that? You could be a product photographer.)

      Thanks! I usually set up the typewriter on a piece of white poster board and shoot in indirect natural light. Then I photoshop the picture -- usually it needs brightening, sometimes the color needs tweaking, and I erase any background that the poster board didn't cover up.

    Thanks Richard for your wonderful words, I was sure that this machine was going to another great collection as yours, your friend Juan Ramon Gracia

    A saw a Studio 42 (regular, not Hispano) in the same colour some time ago, but it's really rare to find those.
