Here it is, for the second time in three years, an Abarth 1300 Scorpione for sale: it’s not easy to spot one of these for sale as, back, then, it was an expensive toy for wealthy boys. Karl Abarth took the body made by Francis Lombardi coachworks and filled it with the engine taken from… Read More Yellow stinger: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione
Here it is another Simca from the golden period of these cars: it’s a rare Simca 9 Coupé which has been partially restored. The job has been done on the body only even though the seller says that it has to be put together again: actually the car looks complete but all the interior parts,… Read More Two tone puzzle: 1954 Simca 9 by Facel
This car is a rare bird indeed as very few were produced (105 units) and many were destroyed during the oil crisis of the early seventies: a 2.6 liter engine was actually a big displacement for the european market in those years. So it’s very rare to find one in restorable conditions and even more… Read More Rare bird: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
Coachbuilders like Vignale were not only involved in building supercars for rich people but also in giving a different shape to mass produced car like the Fiat 600. That’s because they too needed to make some quick cash and building a new body for a Ferrari or some other expensive car was not everyday stuff.… Read More Aquamarine special: 1963 Fiat 600 Cabriolet by Vignale
Another survivor here: this is not Maserati but a “humble” Alpine 310 which, on the other side, looks in even better condition than the Mistral. The Alpine 310 built in 1974 (344 cars built that year) was equipped with a four cylinders Gordini engine with a displacement of 1605 c.c., fed by a fuel injection and… Read More 30 years stored: 1974 Alpine A310
We have never hidden our passion for the Simca 8, and that’s still true even for this particular car which has some special features. Indeed this is not a common Simca equipped with the inline-four, 1100 c.c. engine derived from the contemporary Fiat unit, but a V8-60 flathead Ford engine installed in 1960 with Eddie Meyer… Read More A mighty one: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible
This is a matching numbers Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 which is very complete but in need of a total restoration, both inside and outside. Not many are still around in these conditions. It has also some nice features like a beautiful paint shade and power windows, along with a beautiful set of Borrani wire wheels… Read More Special ready: 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2
This Mistral coupé (chassis #AM109/A1 926), one of the last built with an inline-six, 4,000 c.c. engine, has been stored for 42 years and now it’s again available to the world of Maserati enthusiasts. So this car should be what in the classic car market is used to say “a time capsule”: it seems that… Read More 42 years stored: 1966 Maserati Mistral
Slowly but inexorably, these long time underrated Flavia Coupé designed by Pininfarina are gaining ground in the classic car landscape. Especially if in good conditions and showing a beautiful color combo like this one: Brewster Green paint matched to a tan interiors: by the way those look as good as new, they probably have been redone recently… Read More Winning colors: 1964 Lancia Flavia Coupé by Pininfarina
Few left indeed of these Spider Veloce which, in 1957, the first year of their production, were built – some say – in just 38 specimens. Actually we heard that 200 were built and 38 or 35 still survive so it would be nice to know the truth about this matter. Whatever it’s very difficult… Read More Few left: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
