This ASA 1000 GT Berlinetta (chassis 01302, engine 173/219) is one of those cars where pedigree matters more than displacement. Conceived in the mid-1960s as an Italian answer to the small European GT class, it traces back to a project initiated at Enzo Ferrari’s request and shaped by names that need no introduction: Giotto Bizzarrini… Read More Taped-up: 1965 ASA 1000 GT Berlinetta
This De Tomaso Pantera is being presented as an early European-spec example, with a story built around a few specific points that—if verified—would place it in a more interesting corner of the Pantera world: the very early cars produced before the model was widely imported and distributed through the U.S. dealer network. The seller cites… Read More Total white: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera GTS
This judicial-auction listing concerns an Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint (1966), Italian-registered in Rome. It is the Bertone-bodied coupe from the 2600 range, one of Alfa’s more mature 1960s grand tourers: elegant proportions, a proper long-distance layout, and the kind of cabin and detailing that still reads “serious GT” today. From the photos, the car presents… Read More Judicial auction/2: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
This 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI is presented as a recently restored, rust-free example in ready-to-drive condition. Setting the listing language aside, the photos show a compact four-door with a clean, correct overall stance, a simple period-looking interior, and a generally tidy presentation. One detail matters more than it might seem—especially for a car now… Read More Blue Biscione: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta TI
This is a 1972 TVR Vixen 2500, one of those light, direct British sports cars that isn’t about perfect numbers so much as pure feel. The compact fiberglass body and the straightforward layout (simple chassis, accessible mechanicals, low weight) are exactly why these TVRs still make sense today: very little stands between the steering wheel,… Read More Lighter and cheaper: 1972 TVR Vixen
This is a 1957 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Coupe in “low light” form, meaning the early version with the headlights set lower on the nose and a series of model-specific details that changed soon afterward. It is a meaningful designation: the low lights are the first-production Karmann-Ghias (mid-to-late 1950s), born from a three-way formula—Ghia styling under Luigi… Read More Blue and low: 1957 Karmann-Ghia Coupé
This 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible is presented as a long-hidden discovery and one of the most desirable open Aurelia variants. The “B24S” designation refers to the Sinistra (left-hand drive) configuration, and the model is described as one of 521 built. As the more developed evolution of the earlier B24 Spider, the Convertible retained the… Read More Old silver: 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertibile
What you have here is essentially a specialist’s piece: an early Jaguar E-Type in flat-floor roadster configuration, with a louvered bonnet and the number noted as #876258. For people who follow these cars, “flat floor” is not trivia—it refers to the earliest E-Types, with first-phase construction details that are sought after precisely because they belong… Read More Hardtop equipped: 1962 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
In the first half of the 1980s, as mainstream superminis became increasingly rational, many manufacturers began offering “hot” versions: compact cars with sharper performance and a more aggressive image. The Innocenti Mini Turbo De Tomaso fits squarely into that trend, and it is especially interesting because it comes from an already unusual base: the Italian-built… Read More Pure 80’s: 1985 Innocenti Mini De Tomaso Turbo
This 1951 Mercury two-door is the kind of car you usually see in period photos rather than in real life today: 26,000 miles claimed, original Coventry Green paint, and an interior that doesn’t appear to have ever needed to “play the part” of a restored car. The listing also mentions “Fingerhut” plastic seat covers: this… Read More Fingerhut covers: 1951 Mercury Eight Sport Coupe
