Strange to say but after ten years of mining everything that was even barely restorable, something still pops up and attracts a lot of the attention of the miners. This is the turn of a Giulietta SS – one of the blue chips in the classic car market – on which the 50% of the… Read More Grey shark: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
In relation to nuclear explosions and other large bombs, ground zero (also called surface zero) is the point on the Earth’s surface closest to a detonation: this definition is plausibly associated with this Spider Veloce 750 of which very little remains. Well, at least the bodywork is visible in all its nakedness and, let’s face… Read More Ground zero: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
We don’t know when this car was built, we don’t know by whom it was built: absolutely not bad as a premise. Unfortunately the seller, or at least the description of the car that he reported in the ad, is not very helpful in identifying the origin of this Fiat 600 with this body so… Read More Mysterious and open: 1956 Fiat 600
It is almost paradoxical that, in the year in which bats are at the lowest of their popularity, a lot of noise is generated by the sale of three very famous Alfa Romeos (but not as famous as you might imagine) called BAT, an acronym in Italian for “Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica” (Technical Aerodynamic Sedan). Long… Read More Legendary triptych: Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 5, 7, 9d to auction
Of all the production relating to the 105 Alfa Romeo series, there are two highly sought after models: the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and the 1750 GT Veloce first series, exactly like the one in bad condition you see here. The seller says that this model – which has a beautiful combination of Dutch Blue… Read More First series: 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
Perhaps it is a bit late for the participation of the Mille Miglia 2020 (in progress these days), however if the thing still interests you, this car could be the right one. It is in fact a Panhard HBR 5 first series, built in 1956 and characterized, precisely as the first series, by retractable headlights,… Read More Orange racer: 1956 DB HBR 5 “Mille Miglia”
In 1984, as a car enthusiast kid, my pantheon of supercars was obviously made up of Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 288 GTO. However, just one step below, there was a sedan. The sedan in question was the Maserati Quattroporte, probably because of its elegant but muscular lines at the same time: even… Read More V8 living room: 1984 Maserati Quattroporte 4.9
If you intend to buy a car to be restored, buy one that has at least the upper parts of the bodywork in good condition: it is advice given to you by someone who has paid (in terms of time, money and headache) the consequences of a different choice. Indeed, it is one thing to… Read More Early bird: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
One of our readers wrote to us, a few months ago, complaining that we publish too few BMWs: we hope, with this one today, to have satisfied him for a while. In this case it is, to use a term very popular also on European cars, a Hot Rod built on the basis of a… Read More Euro rod: 1974 BMW 1602
The sight of this van reminded me that, when I was little, I definitely had a toy car of the same shape: at the time I didn’t understand which vehicle it was inspired by, but now I have understood it. Also because, honestly said, it is the absolute first time I see this Renault van:… Read More Groovy times: 1969 Renault Estafette R2137
