If you think that the barn finds are found only in the US, you are wrong, and this auction is proof of this. There is in fact a collection of 81 cars (none in good condition, some in desperate conditions) that will be auctioned (also online) tomorrow by a french auction house that we did not… Read More The sunday auction: 81 barn finds
Another E-Type Jaguar? Why not? In the end it is an icon of the automotive industry and, last but not least, it is beautiful. But if the E-Type roadster looks beautiful in picture you should see one live: now we know that it is very rare to spot one in the wild but it is… Read More Unknown issue: 1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.
Are the Porsche pre-74s with six-cylinder engines too expensive? True, but there are alternatives like this 914-6. For heaven’s sake, we are not saying that the 914-6 are cheap indeed, in recent years these cars have had a dizzying rise in prices because someone has realized that, in fact, these are Porsche in all respects… Read More Arizona red: 1970 Volkswagen-Porsche 914-6
It is rare to see changes to the bodywork of a Giulia or Giulietta SS, but when we come across a modified specimen, it is obligatory for us to publish it. The changes we are talking about – and this is the remarkable thing about this case – seem to be made by someone who… Read More Mutation/5: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
The latest series of the Lancia Aurelia sedan is represented by the B12 as published here: the car benefited from several improvements such as the De Dion suspension at the rear. A very refined solution which, moreover, was consistent with the Lancia constructive philosophy; unfortunately this philosophy was one of the main reasons that less… Read More De Dion back: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B12
We have seen cars to be restored in any conditions, but it is the first time we see one that recalls the appearance of Tutankhamun’s mummy when Howard Carter took it out of his sarcophagus. Maybe that’s because of the black paint dried (and cracked) under the sun of California, and perhaps also because the… Read More The mummy: 1969 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
So far we have published a sister of this car painted in white and a 1300 TS painted in dark red, this is the turn of grey. Dark gray, to be precise, a very elegant color for a coupe on a Fiat 1500 base designed and built to be aimed at customers who could not… Read More The grey one: 1964 Siata 1500 TS Coupé by Michelotti
Nature is varied and in fact, even among the big cats, there are albino ones, exactly like this Pantera. White on the outside and black on the inside: a combination not really common as many of these cars were ordered in bold colors (as if the car itself did not look sufficiently aggressive) and in… Read More Black and white: 1971 De Tomaso Pantera
This little roadster produced by Siata in the immediate post-war period was made on the chassis of the Fiat 500C but with a hand-beaten skin. It was in fact a car designed for a more demanding (and economically stronger) clientele that could require various customizations both in the set up and in the color, moreover… Read More Little green roadster: 1949 Siata Amica Trasformabile
This is one of the very latest 6C 2500 ever produced and it has not been set up by a coachbuilder like Touring but by the Alfa Romeo body shop. Probably this is one of the last chassis produced and left unsold, and the buyer of the time has had the car set up according… Read More Italian patina: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupé
