For the uninitiated, “Amica” means a female friend in italian language: this is not human but at little cabriolet built in around 300 specimens from SIATA, soon after the WWII. This car (chassis #2) is of course a project but the good is, as the seller says, that the 600 c.c., inline-four engine, fed by a… Read More Needy friend: 1950 Siata Amica 50 Cabriolet
If what the seller says is true, this car could be the one and only Fiat 1500 Ghia on this world driven by the same owner from new. By the way this car has a curious story: the seller says that he bought it from Incar, the Fiat agent of Rhodesia (the south-african country now… Read More One owner only: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
1961 was the first production year of the Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina: in that year the only available engine was the 2500 c.c. unit fed by a single carburetor. This particular car, although publicized as a 1966 car, was produced in 1961 (the original black plate can’t lie). There is no description in the ad… Read More Dusty sleeper: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Coupé by Pininfarina

The seller of this curious car says that this barchetta has been found just out of Mosport Raceway, Canada, and looks like someone wanted to build his own dream racer. Of course during the fifties a lot of petrolheads built cars in their own garages, however few of them had good taste and sense for… Read More Past present: 1953 One-off “barchetta”
Ok that’s the first time that we realize that Viotti made a Giardinetta coachbuild also on the Lancia Appia platform. Indeed we wrongly believed that Viotti has built Giardinetta’s (Viotti’s trade mark for the station wagon bodies) only on Fiat platforms but just for this reason we have a further proof that in the classic cars… Read More New entry: 1960 Lancia Appia Giardinetta by Viotti
Here it is another Karmann Ghia brought back to a new life after 45 years in storage (at least the seller says so). The seller says also that this car has done just 300 miles from the end of a restoration lasted a couple of years: these are not complicated cars to restore so we… Read More Just refreshed: 1965 Karmann Ghia Convertible
Although the train for pre-bumper 911’s has yet leaved the station, there is still some little sister which still has a reasonable price. We all know for sure that the sound of the flat four can’t ever match the bigger six cylinders unit, at least both cars are almost the same about the overall aspect:… Read More Cracked paint: 1967 Porsche 912
Of course we all know that cars like a Dino 196S barchetta are unaffordable unless you are some kind of tycoon. Also this car is not cheap but at least there are much more people who could reach it. This is a replica built, as the seller says, 20 years ago by an italian coachbuilder (we… Read More Not real but a good deal: 1959 Dino 196S tribute car

The seller says that this car is one out of four made by the… Read More The french way: 1939 Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet by Pourtout
