Two days, two California black plate cars: today the car published is not a big shot of the market but nevertheless it’s less lovely than the early Porsche. First because of the car itself which is a superb example of italian microcar engineering and style: this car has a lovely coral/black color combo which is… Read More PYK 450: 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile
It’s very rare, at this point, to find a 356 Cabrio to restore (yep, 356: the “pre-a” nickname have never been used by Porsche), and finding a very early ’52 car it’s like to win a (little) lottery. Also because, even though this car (chassis #15005) clearly needs a huge amount of work, it is basically… Read More COD 420: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabrio
The first black Merak SS ever seen by us for sale is just this car: the SS, factory type 122/A, was the ultimate Merak: 220 hp from a 3000 cc, V6 engine. The higher power was obtained thanks to an increased engine compression ratio and bigger carburetors: three downdraft Weber 44 DCNF had the task… Read More Black beauty: 1976 Maserati Merak SS
If there is a car which we can fall in love of, that’s a BMW 2002 Ti with a special color, properly lowered and with a nice set of alloy wheels, just like this car. The car is actually painted in a factory original Agave Green, used on the early production years of the E10 series and not… Read More Stanced Agave: 1970 BMW 2002 Ti
The lovers of cars from the thirties would goggle seeing this project and they are partially right: partially because only half of this car is a real Speedster. The seller says that years ago he started looking for a Boat Tail Speedster project: he was unable to find one so he ended up buying a 1931 Auburn… Read More Half car: 1931 Auburn 8-98 “Boat Tail Speedster”
This is a very early Giulia Sprint and you easily understand it by few details like the “pantograph” style hood stop mechanism which is a feature olnly on ’63 and few ’64 cars. The seller says hat it is in good conditions and actually we couldn’t say otherwise; it has some flaws which go beyond some… Read More Far east car: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
This Giulia SS was born red: the white paint job has been made by the woman who owned it in order to give the car the “TZ” look, indeed the tail edge is painted in black. The car doesn’t move since 1972 because it lost its clutch during the race, and was moved to the owner’s… Read More Lime Rock veteran: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
*Veritas (latin) = “Truth”. Mr. Magnus from Sweden was inspired by this Veritas for sale two years ago, to tell us the story of his father and his Veritas back in the fifties (see photo above). What’s puzzling is that the car had different characteristics from any other Veritas known, like it was a kind of… Read More What’s the Veritas*?
This is one of the early Mistral built as the seller says that this is the 56th cars out of Frua coachworks, it needs a full restoration but it seems solid. Indeed this car has for sure stored well and in a dry climate because very few signs of deep rust can be spotted on the… Read More Solid silver: 1964 Maserati Mistral
Few british car makers, in the early fifties, were in the business with a twin cam engine on the front: one was Jaguar, of course, the other one was the less known Riley. Riley started to build these car in 1948 until 1951, especially in order to export them to the north america market, ut… Read More British hemi: 1951 Riley RMC
