What makes us love a classic car? Is it its lines, the sound of the engine, its economic value or even the stories it carries with it? Very often, more times than we admit to ourselves, it is the latter that attracts us most of all. This Aston Martin DB4, parked in a barn for… Read More A life: 1962 Aston Martin DB4 by Touring
We have already seen a similar car but in red: we do not know if it is another example or this one painted in a different color, the fact is that this shape is not new to us. Last week we talked about the “Sport” category: here is another representative of this category, this time… Read More Blue Barchetta: 1951 Fiat 1100E Sport
This particular model of Fiat 500B is very rare: if you happen to see the photos on the web you can get the impression that there are many of them around, the reality is that they are the same specimens photographed in different times and places. There are no “official” statistics about the number of… Read More One owner: 1948 Fiat 500B Giardiniera Belvedere
“E” is for “Einspritzung” which, in german language, means fuel injection. Today we know what it is but almost 50 years ago, only cars at the highest level could boast this technical solution. In fact, if we look at the cars that were equipped with this feature at the time, we find cars such as… Read More Class and fury: 1973 Porsche 911E 2.4
The golden age of the so-called “Sport” saw its greatest glory in the late 1950s, exactly when this car was built. Sport was a category of cars that enthusiasts know well: uncovered cars (“Barchetta” type bodywork) handcrafted by often very small workshops, such as that of the Mandarini brothers (mandarini = tangerine) who applied the… Read More Green tangerine: 1956 Mandarini 1100 Sport by Colli
We were amazed to see a Duetto in silver: it was a factory color code (AR728), however it is rare to find one that was born in this color. And in fact, this specimen, according to the seller, was born in white. The seller also says the car has been repainted by the previous owner… Read More Silver streak: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto
Anyone who has fully restored a classic car knows very well that an easy restoration does not exist, unless it is a car that already looks good and only needs general tuning and detailing. This is not, in fact, the case, indeed it takes many hours of work to bring this 356 back to the… Read More Drive the dolphin/2: 1960 Porsche 356b T5 Roadster
The strangest thing about German car production from the 1960s and 1970s is the contrast between the cars’ sober lines and the flashy colors available for them. Obviously, Porsche and BMW were first in this area: BMW in particular made available almost “racing” colors for its family sedans: the car presented here, a rare 2002… Read More Verona red: 1970 BMW 2002 Ti
A 1957 Chevy Nomad is a rare bird, not to mention a completely original specimen that has survived the past 60 years. Obviously we report what the seller claims, namely to own and sell a Nomad “pure stock”, matching numbers and stored in the last 48 years. The car therefore looks extremely interesting, however there… Read More Pure stock: 1957 Chevrolet Nomad Belair
Whether the 288 GTO is currently worth twice as much as an F40, despite being less powerful, does not only depend on the number of units produced: the 288 is simply a beautiful car. I still remember when I was a kid and a friend of mine from school showed me the preview photo of… Read More Attack of the Clones: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO Replica
