As the ad states, it’s rare to come across a 1956 356A in restorable condition, but it’s also true that this car requires a lot of work—a lot of work means a very high budget. We know this well because we recently restored a 1965 Alfa Romeo in similar condition, thinking it would still be… Read More Do your math: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
In the heart of Modena, within the walls of his workshop on Via Sabbatini, Sergio Sighinolfi embarked on his journey as a constructor of sports cars. His first creation, a 1948 sports car with a body crafted by the renowned Modenese coachbuilder Campana. This car, driven by Cremona’s Antonio Morandini, later featured an Ermini engine… Read More Little red racer: 1953 Nardi-Sighinolfi 750 by Campana

Indeed, 1500 cc might not seem like a large engine displacement, but considering that the common Italian car at the time had an engine of 875 cc, this was a car with a six-cylinder engine and almost double the displacement: not as expensive as an Alfa Romeo, but certainly not a car for everyone. Moreover,… Read More Big engine: 1950 Fiat 1500E “Vittoria” by Balbo
The Abarth 1300 SS Scorpione is a rare and remarkable example of Abarth’s engineering prowess. Introduced in 1970, this model was among the last cars independently developed by Abarth before the brand was acquired by Fiat. The Scorpione features a modified Fiat 124 engine, enlarged to 1280cc, delivering around 100 horsepower, which, combined with its… Read More Yellow scorpion: 1969 Abarth Scorpione SS
And here is a GT Veloce, the most sought-after model of the Giulia GT series (after the GTA, of course) in Biancospino color. But contrary to its name, this car is anything but fast. In fact, we would say that this car doesn’t run at all, as it is photographed on a tow truck. It… Read More Static quadrifoglio: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Let’s continue with Alfa Romeos in need of restoration, this time with a spider, specifically a 1965 Giulia, which is the last series of its kind, featuring the three-spoke steering wheel and SS instruments, although it still lacks front disc brakes. From the photos posted in the ad, it is clear that the car was… Read More Black and white: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
This Fulvia Sport built by Zagato is part of a batch of cars constructed entirely in aluminum in 1967. Subsequently, due to the construction costs, Zagato began building them in steel. The alloy used was called “Peralluman” (the same used for the body of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, although the latter was made by… Read More Blue aluminium: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
We didn’t understand much from this ad: the seller included “McQueen owned” in the title, which was enough to pique our curiosity. The ad features a photo of a pink slip issued by the California DOT, which we assume refers to the car for sale (the VIN is listed, but there are no photos of… Read More McQueen owned: 1948 Oldsmobile 98 Club Sedan
Rarely does “small” equate to “frightening,” but in this case, we feel an exception is warranted. This 1974 Innocenti Mini, one of those produced by Innocenti (the same company that made the Lambretta scooter, to be clear) under license from Morris, has undergone a heart transplant that transformed it in the best imaginable way: instead… Read More White lightning: 1974 Innocenti Mini “Honda”
