Another day, another spider, another Alfa Romeo. But this time it’s the bigger sister of the one released on Monday. It is in fact a 2000 Spider designed and built not at the Portello factory, but at the Touring body shop which, at the time of production of this model, was a 20-minute walk away.… Read More Matte silver: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
We have always wondered why most European cars were sold new in California, and perhaps one of the answers is that the morphology of the terrain is the one most similar to the Italian one in the rest of the USA. Consequently, a nimble little car, even one with not as much horsepower as a… Read More SWB project: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
This Lancia Aurelia is said to be a one-off built by Bertone on a B52 chassis, and exhibited at the 1951 Turin Motor Show. But the really remarkable thing about this special car (chassis B52. 1074, engine B21.4542) is that it is said to be completely original and to have traveled – brace yourselves –… Read More Time capsule: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B52 Coupé by Bertone
It is not easy to see these cars outside of Brazil, where they were produced, and in fact this car arrived in Europe thanks to a Brazilian man. The seller says this was originally the car of the Brazilian ambassador in Paris and has been in his family for many years. This is a rare… Read More The diplomat’s car: 1971 Puma Spyder 1600 GTE
Ok, we agree that maybe “completed” is an understatement, however, technically, the car is there. From what we understand, it is a Fiberfab Aztec built on a platform – for a change – Volkswagen Type 1 (better known as Beetle). This was probably once a running car, since the wheels, headlights and drivetrain are already… Read More To be completed: 1970 Fiberab Aztec
Let’s say that perhaps a little tlc – as claimed by the seller – is perhaps an understatement to bring this beautiful Gulia Sprint GT Veloce back to life, however there could be excellent grounds for a restoration. The seller also says that this car is registered as 1968 and this is probably true, but… Read More A little TLC: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
It has been resting for many years, but hasn’t lost its charm yet, maybe it’s time someone put it back on the road. This Giulietta Sprint Veloce has belonged to the same owner for 20 years but is said to have been taken off the road in 1977: on the one hand this is negative… Read More Sleeping bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
If, looking at this Swedish car, you have the impression of recognizing the Italian style of the time, you are not wrong. The designer of this small Swedish berlinetta is in fact Sergio Coggiola, a little-known car designer who, however, had important experiences such as the one at Ghia. Either way, the Sonnett IIII oozes… Read More Uncle’s car: 1973 Saab Sonnett III
Finding a Montreal for sale is easy: they come in all years and colors (and prices), but finding one like this is a different story. In fact, the seller says that this car has had only one owner from 1972 and has always been stored indoors: judging by the amount of dust deposited on the… Read More One owner: 1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal
There are still some around in unrestored condition, but here comes the dilemma: spend the money on the restoration or buy a restored one? Between the two alternatives, at the end of the day, there is no difference. Differently from a few years ago, when original spare parts could be found (much better than that… Read More Rough steel: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
