This Giulietta Sprint has been on sale for quite a few days and is observed by many people, yet it is still there. We will not in fact comment on the model that everyone knows, rather there are considerations to make. In fact, this car raises some questions that many observers on eBay will have… Read More Chip blue: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
Few Mangusta were produced – about 400 – and obviously a lot less survive: this is a representative of those survived, unknown until today. Unknown since it seems that this de Tomaso has been locked in a garage since 1976, obviously the only reason that comes to mind is that at the time the car… Read More Rest in pieces/3: 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta
OSA was the acronym of Officina Specializzata Automobili, a workshop in Naples (Italy) specialized in tuning standard cars, during the 50s and 60s. This workshop was founded by Agostino Accadia who, besides being a mechanic, was also a car driver and one of the cars he drove at the Mille Miglia was a boat based… Read More Approved by the son: 1955 Lancia Aprilia “Mille Miglia” Barchetta by OSA (recreation)
We have to admit that, although it is not the first time I see a De Tomaso Deauville, I have only now noticed an interesting detail. The detail in question concerns the opening of the engine hood: if you look at the photos posted by the seller, you will find that the bonnet, hinged at… Read More Tilting bumper: 1972 De Tomaso Deauville
It is not certain that, to cars that are potentially interesting, correspond also ads with detailed descriptions, and this is precisely the case with this Pininfarina Flaminia Coupé. But there is more (indeed, less): in addition to an extremely brief description, there is only one photograph published where it can only be seen that the… Read More One’s enough: 1962 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina
We seem to have already published – a few years ago – a small barchetta similar to this one, red in color, but we didn’t know it with the name Microplas. This company was founded in 1954, also taking advantage of the experience of some partners whose families had produced reinforced plastics for some military… Read More The green barchetta: 1955 Microplas Toledo
In fact we believe it is difficult to find a car (not born as a microcar) smaller than this barchetta, strictly red as the regulation of the time established. The reason for this smallness is simple: this boat was built starting from the chassis and engine of a Fiat 500 B, in particular the latter… Read More Smaller is harder: 1948 Siata 500 Sport Barchetta
A combination of colors that we are more used to associating with German cars (Porsche in particular), this time is the main feature of the most Italian car. It is in fact a GT 1750 Veloce first series that seems to be in excellent condition and, indeed, equipped with a very particular color combination. All… Read More Silver and red: 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
We have known this dealer for some time and we know his soft spot towards Italian cars, especially the “special” ones like this Siata (chassis #448BC). On the other hand, he finds us perfectly in agreement: as far as we are concerned if it is Italian, built by hand from 1930 to 1950 in small… Read More Old Motto: 1955 Siata 300 BC
We are sincere, we did not know. We didn’t know that Triumph had ever produced a four-valve motor per cylinder, moreover installed on a mass-produced car, and here it is. The Dolomite, in this version called Sprint, was born to face the rivals of the time, the sedans with a sporting vocation like the BMW… Read More Early four valves: 1975 Triumph Dolomite Sprint
