Stored 39 years: 1970 Ford Econoline E-300 SuperVan

The 1970 Econoline sat at the more utilitarian end of Ford’s light-commercial range, but period camper conversions gave it a second life as a compact travel vehicle. What makes vans like this interesting today is not rarity in the usual collector-car sense, but survival: the appeal depends on how much of the original conversion, trim… Read More Stored 39 years: 1970 Ford Econoline E-300 SuperVan

Big challenge: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

The Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring belongs to the period when Alfa Romeo was trying to move slightly upmarket without giving up its twin-cam four-cylinder formula. Built by Touring, the Spider used the shortened 2000 platform and combined refined proportions with relatively advanced mechanical specification for the time, including the 1,975 cc engine and five-speed… Read More Big challenge: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

White bargain: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Convertibile by Touring

The Flaminia was Lancia’s flagship in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the Touring-bodied convertible sits in the most exclusive part of the range: coachbuilt, elegant, and built in very limited numbers. The first-series 2.5-litre single-carburettor cars are among the rarer Flaminias, and this is the aspect that gives the model most of its… Read More White bargain: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Convertibile by Touring

Yello barchetta: 1954 Nardi-Crosley 750 by Frua

This 1954 Nardi Crosley Frua 750 sits in that niche where post-war Turin craftsmanship meets “small-displacement” competition history. The key name is Enrico Nardi—engineer, tuner, and constructor with deep ties to Italian racing culture—and the coachwork is attributed to Pietro Frua, which means the shape is not just functional skin but a period design statement… Read More Yello barchetta: 1954 Nardi-Crosley 750 by Frua

Two-tone paint: 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo

This Porsche 924 Turbo sits right in the late-1970s/early-1980s moment when turbocharging became the new promise: a road-car technology with a motorsport halo, adopted across Europe with real enthusiasm. In Porsche terms, the 924 Turbo (internal type 931) was the factory answer to anyone who wanted more than the normally aspirated 924—same front-engine/transaxle layout for… Read More Two-tone paint: 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo

Full Deco: 1947 FIAT 1100B Cabriolet by Farina

This Fiat 1100 “Stabilimenti Farina” combines mass-production mechanicals with a coachbuilt body. It is based on a Fiat 1100 with the 108C engine, built in 1947 and first registered in 1948, left-hand drive. The seller states the body is entirely aluminum and that the car retains its first-series engine and chassis combination (matching numbers). The… Read More Full Deco: 1947 FIAT 1100B Cabriolet by Farina

One-off: 1967 Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT by Michelotti

The Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT (chassis MMGT01) is the kind of object that doesn’t sit in the “normal” classic-car market. It isn’t a rare version of a known model—it is a true one-off prototype. The concept began from a practical frustration: an Italian businessman wanted a high-performance GT that was easier to live with day… Read More One-off: 1967 Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT by Michelotti
