This car is an example of the reason why Classic Virus was born: to identify those special cars, even unique, built by hand up to the period when television was still a luxury for the few. We are dealing with an extremely rare, if not unique, car: a Fiat 508 Balilla with a special Pininfarina… Read More Goggles included: 1932 Fiat 508 Balilla by Pininfarina
If it is true that we like the small Fiat Berlinetta built in the 40s and 50s, it is also true that the convertibles built in the same period have their dignity of publication. This is the case of this 1100 B convertible (at the time called “Trasformabile”) built in small series by Fiat itself… Read More Carrozzerie Speciali: 1948 Fiat 1100 B Trasformabile
A Fiat 130 Coupé is not a common car even in Italy, let alone in the USA. And if this car has 57k miles and, last but not least, a manual gearbox, then it is a hen’s tooth. The seller says that this is a car from Texas in very good condition and in fact… Read More The manual one: 1973 Fiat 130 Coupé
If you had been offered this car ten years ago, what would you have answered? Probably “No thanks, not even for free”. However time passes, we become older as well as these cars, with the difference that while we are less desirable over time, these cars are more so, and their price increases even if… Read More Rusty & complete: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
A very long name for a car that, in spite of what one might imagine, is quite rare. In fact this medium-sized car (for the American market of the time, of course, since it is only “4.6” / 181 in. Long) was the “small” of the Ford and generally equipped with a six-cylinder in-line engine,… Read More Unpainted: 1963 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint Convertible
We are not new to this particular variation of the legendary Fiat 1100/103, which for years has been the blank canvas on which many coachbuilders – not only Italian – have realized their vision. One of these, indeed one of the main ones, was Allemano, who designed both this coupé version and a Cabriolet version… Read More A different vision: 1953 Fiat 1100/103 Coupé by Allemano
It is not unusual to find a Lancia Aurelia, built in the immediate post-war period, which has a special body, and this car is an example. Obviously, “it is not unusual” does not mean that you can find one at every street corner, in particular if the car was commissioned by the Italian driver Giovanni… Read More Pilot’s car: 1950 Lancia Aurelia B50 by Vignale
Today there is a task to be carried out: to understand which car it is, and who made it. It seems that this barchetta, which at first sight appears to be a Giaur 750, has nothing in common with the other Giaur except for the aluminum bodywork. In particular, what perplexes the seller is the… Read More Mystery car: 1952 Patriarca 750 Sport?
In recent years it has happened to find some Ferrari with a “250” unit capacity in poor condition, but in general it was the GTE model, never a Pininfarina. Obviously the first question that arises in the mind of every enthusiast is: “Where did he ever find it?” Well, we don’t know the answer but… Read More Rough one: 1960 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé by Pininfarina
“Home” stands for Italy, of course, since it is very strange to see a rare Fiat 1100 ES in the United States, as the number of cars produced is really small. We do not believe that this car was sold new in the United States, it probably arrived years later as a used car, in… Read More Far from home: 1950 Fiat 1100 ES Coupé By Pininfarina
