The twentieth century was defined by historian Eric Hobsbawm as “The Short Century”, due to the exceptional concentration of events that occurred between the outbreak of the First World War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was also the century of the automobile and of the whole world that revolved around it: a… Read More The Fisogni Museum
This white spider is a Veloce, type 750 F, swb: in short, the most sought after of its kind. Externally it is in fact almost indistinguishable from the sister equipped with the less powerful engine but the difference lies, in fact, under the bonnet, as well as for other small details like the rev counter… Read More Older resto: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Everyone knows the acronym AMG, but many think it’s simply the name of the Mercedes-Benz racing department. Which it is, actually, but not many know that it was born as a real independent company and that it was until the end of the eighties when it merged with Mercedes-Benz, which however kept its brand and… Read More Pre-merger: 1984 Mercedes-Benz 500 SEC AMG
We are not lucky enough to be able to take a look at the engine of this 356 T6 convertible which is said to be a car matching numbers. But we can see both the bodywork and the floors quite well, and despite the appearances they are not so bad for a good body shop… Read More Believed matching: 1962 Porsche 356 B T6 Cabriolet
There are less and less 356 in conditions “to be restored” and now, when one comes up, it is almost a special event. The event is even more special when the Porsche 356 we are talking about is from the ’54, or belonging to the series commonly called “Pre-A”, a name that – for the… Read More Turkish project: 1954 Porsche 356 Coupé
It may seem strange to hear, but this was a very successful car in terms of sales, with three series made and over 900 units sold, from 1959 to 1964. Today 900 units are an almost ridiculous number for a car that was not destined for limited production from the beginning, but fifty years ago,… Read More Black tie: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE
It is actually the first time we see a 2000 Spider with an incorrect Alfa Romeo engine: often an American V8 was installed. This one instead has an Alfa engine probably dating back to the ’60s: suppose it is at least a 1600 cc as a 1300 c.c. on a body like the 2000 Spider… Read More Recent inside: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
You will certainly have noticed that we never miss the chance to publish a hearse, especially if it was built until the 70s. The reason is simple: apart from the “unpleasant” destination of the vehicle itself, the fact remains that often these cars were real masterpieces of bodywork, often crafted by great builders for whom… Read More Double cab: 1960 Fiat 1100 T Hearse
This Italia 2000 is one of the very latest built, and in fact is a model produced in 1963, we do not know the chassis number but it could belong to a TR3 / A. It seems that the car was sold new in the US even in 1964 so when, practically, the production of… Read More High number: 1963 Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
Let’s take two classic cars, one that is worth $ 10,000 and another that is worth $ 100,000: how many times could we say with certainty that the last one is ten times more beautiful than the first or that it offers ten times the driving sensations? Each of us knows the answer (strictly subjective),… Read More True blue: 1973 Fiat 128 Coupé 1100 SL
