Stone grey was the original color of this 356B T5 Roadster (chassis #87324) that has seen, during its story, many paint layers that overlapped: the last one is the white one. Other than many paint layers, there is also the rust that intruded among them, and unfortunately it seems that the car suffers a lot… Read More Once was stone: 1960 Porsche 356 B T5 Roadster
One owner since 1963 is generally a great thing for any car, especially if the car is a rare Facel Vega HK 500. This car could even be exactly as it looked in 1963, unfortunately the past owner decided to repaint it in 1974 but the job was never completed. Of course the good is… Read More 55 years ownership: 1961 Facel Vega HK 500
First time we see this car for real, and probably the last time we’ll see one for many years . It’s a very rare “Giardiniera” built by Monviso coachworks on a Fiat 1100 BL chassis. Indeed so far we have seen this model only in our literature and we actually doubted that any car like… Read More Hen’s teeth: 1948 Fiat 1100 BL Giardiniera by Monviso
There are quite a few Lancia Fulvia Zagato for sale around, but very few or almost none of them could boast this fantastic color combo. Of course we don’t expect that all of you would share with us the appreciation for these colors, but for sure we all agree with the fact that very few… Read More Blue calls red: 1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S Sport by Zagato
Although both the make and the model names could seem to come from the eastern Europe, this car was actually produced in Pavia, few kilometers south of Milano, Italy. It all began when Carlo Lavezzari, an italian enterpreneur, decided to build a microcar pushed by the same 125 c.c. engine of the Innocenti Lambretta: they… Read More Short wheel base: 1974 Lawil Varzina
This is a not matching numbers 911, in driver conditions, with a not original color and basically not much cared. Yet all this makes sense. It does because in a classic cars world that is always struggling to reach perfection, with a perfect paint, with all the right details in the right place, with every… Read More The road to San Jose: 1971 Porsche 911 T 2.2 Coupé
The Unobtanium brothers have found another aircooled machine: this time it’s a 356 A Coupé (chassis #100316), we believe a 60 hp, unearthed from some barn and now for sale without reserve. As usual, they are pretty clear about the conditions of the car: on one side this is said (and actually it seems) an… Read More Snake on the hood: 1957 Porsche 356 A T2 Coupé
The Samantha, based on the Fiat 125 chassis and engine, is one of the last creation of Vignale and, we think, one of the better ones. Even though it was based on a Fiat, this car was never sold by Fiat dealers and that’s probably why there aren’t many cars around. Moreover, a 1600 c.c.… Read More Twin cam blue: 1969 Fiat 125 S “Samantha” by Vignale
Balbo was one of those coachbuilders who operated in the shadow of famous brands like Pininfarina, Farina or Vignale, however he built beautiful cars, especially before the WWII. Indeed Balbo shut his doors in 1954 but he still had time to build beautiful post war cars like this “Trasformabile” built on the six-cylinder Fiat 1500… Read More Find another one: 1950 Fiat 1500 6C Trasformabile by Balbo
Finding a special Fiat coupé still in restorable conditions is now a very rare thing, that’s why finding a 1500 Coupé built by Alemano is an event by now. Allemano was a well know coachbuilder which saw a peak in popularity during the first half of the sixties, when the company built top-notch cars among… Read More A special one: 1962 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Allemano
