When, in 1961, Simca managers decided to give an aggressive looks to their new little coupé, the name which came in their mind was, of course, Bertone. We think that – with all the due respect to Farina brothers, Vignale and Ghia – the most beautiful and dramatic cars made during the period between the 1935… Read More Spicy & elegant: 1967 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
This car was born thanks to a temporary joint-venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, however if you ask around it’s really difficult to find someone who think at this car as a Volkswagen. Indeed the price of these cars reflects the idea that these are basically b-series Porsche, but when the focus moves on the… Read More Blue lines: 1970 VW-Porsche 914-6
When, once, a car like this one had a low value and the restoration costs easily overcame the final value, it often happened that they were cannibalized in order to supply spare parts for more valuable cars: we believe that this car had that story. Indeed it looks like a quite good project: most (not… Read More Just one missing detail: 1964 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2
The SC version of the 356 breed has lately got a lot of value, especially if mated with a factory sunroof like this project car. Of course that’s because it had the most powerful engine available (other than the much rarer – and much expensive – Carrera version) in 1965 for a Porsche and even… Read More Get some sun: 1965 Porsche 356 SC
This is one of the few classic cars which we consider still underrated, especially if compared with cars with a bigger name but with less contents. The beautiful and light profile pencilled by Sartorelli is beautiful especially when mated with this pale blue and sand interior: this is not a tiny car but the assembly is so… Read More Low budget, high class: 1965 Fiat 2300S Coupé
As long as this 595 SS (Abarth #105/2649) has not the suicide door, it should have been built after 1964: of course this is an assumption as the seller has forgotten to specify when this car was born. If that is true, this car was built on the F platform, so the chassis number doesn’t… Read More Nothing romantic here: 1965 Abarth 595 SS
This is the time of a blue Intermeccanica Italia which is said to have been stored for 30 years: in this case time hasn’t been hard like it was on the previous Intermeccanica we have published some days ago. The seller says that this car has been repainted 30 years ago (a new shade or the… Read More Yet another one: 1967 Intermeccanica Italia Coupé
Believe it or not, this Giulietta, which has the perfect appearance of a wreck, runs good as the video posted by the seller shows. This shows once again, if proof were needed, the robustness of engines built by Alfa Romeo after the WWII. They were as reliable as the body of these cars were prone… Read More And yet it moves: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Lately it has been difficult to see an SS prepared for historic races, mainly because the value of these cars has quadrupled in the last four years. Indeed the seller says that this car was converted to race specification in 2005 (in Italy, of course), a time when many people could afford a car like this… Read More Race dress: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
We are not uesd to publish articles on tucks but this one is so rare and beautiful that we owe it some rows. These trucks were built by Lancia in Bolzano, far from Torino as there it was their “industrial division”: of course, as for their cars, these trucks were so refined that they look… Read More Tragically famous: Lancia Esatau 864
