Perhaps it is a bit late for the participation of the Mille Miglia 2020 (in progress these days), however if the thing still interests you, this car could be the right one. It is in fact a Panhard HBR 5 first series, built in 1956 and characterized, precisely as the first series, by retractable headlights,… Read More Orange racer: 1956 DB HBR 5 “Mille Miglia”
In 1984, as a car enthusiast kid, my pantheon of supercars was obviously made up of Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 288 GTO. However, just one step below, there was a sedan. The sedan in question was the Maserati Quattroporte, probably because of its elegant but muscular lines at the same time: even… Read More V8 living room: 1984 Maserati Quattroporte 4.9
If you intend to buy a car to be restored, buy one that has at least the upper parts of the bodywork in good condition: it is advice given to you by someone who has paid (in terms of time, money and headache) the consequences of a different choice. Indeed, it is one thing to… Read More Early bird: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
One of our readers wrote to us, a few months ago, complaining that we publish too few BMWs: we hope, with this one today, to have satisfied him for a while. In this case it is, to use a term very popular also on European cars, a Hot Rod built on the basis of a… Read More Euro rod: 1974 BMW 1602
The sight of this van reminded me that, when I was little, I definitely had a toy car of the same shape: at the time I didn’t understand which vehicle it was inspired by, but now I have understood it. Also because, honestly said, it is the absolute first time I see this Renault van:… Read More Groovy times: 1969 Renault Estafette R2137
Limited editions are not a prerogative of European cars alone, in some cases also the American car market was churning out cars in very limited editions. This is the case of the “L600” edition Ford Mustang: we are not experts in mustangs but we can say we know these cars yet we had never heard… Read More Groovy Green: 1969 Ford Mustang L600
If we look only at the production numbers, the 1600 TI is not the rarest model in the E10 series, however the reality is a bit different. In fact, although it is not a car produced in small numbers (about 8,600 examples) compared to other E10 models such as the 2002 Baur cabriolet, today finding… Read More Rare steak: 1967 BMW 1600 TI
In spite of the image it has, this can be considered to all intents and purposes a muscle car. Indeed, if a Ford Mustang of the same period is considered a muscle car icon, let alone how the Tiger can be considered, it has the same eight-cylinder engine (but in this case 260 cubic inches),… Read More Green feline: 1965 Subeam Tiger
As with all rules, exceptions are occasionally found, and this also applies to classic cars: in this case it was the turn of a GT Junior Zagato. The exception, in this case, concerns the appearance of the car characterized by widened fenders and, consequently, by wheels and tires large enough to fill the new spaces… Read More Wide hips: 1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
Over the past few decades, a car built on a versatile platform was subject to many variations, limited only by the imagination of the designers. Even the Fiat 500, in its “D” version, had its own interpretations and among these was that of the NSU through the vision of the Weinsberg workshops: two versions were… Read More The other side: 1962 NSU/Fiat 500 Coupé by Weinsberg
