This is a very rare car not only because it’s a Fiat 500A van (some sources say that less then 50 Giardiniera still survive, and much less van) but because it was bought and used by Campari (the famous italian alcholic beverages brand) to deliver their product. Indeed the car is still painted in the dark Campari… Read More Don’t drink and drive: 1940 Fiat 500A Furgoncino “Campari”
This car was curiously first registered in 1973 although its only production year was the 1966; as the seller says, only 12 G11’s were produced. This cutie has an odd color for being a british roadster: it looks like the same gunmetal grey used on E-Type Jags ‘til 1965: it’s a stunning color especially when… Read More Late registered: 1966 Ginetta G11
When you think at an Healey Sprite, of course tou imagine a tiny little spider which main focus is to drive across the british countryside: this car was born with a different purpose.

Many Maserati in the last period, among which there are several restoration project like this one.

This should be one of the very last Mistral made and, as told by many, it’s is the most desirable series. Indeed the seller says that it is a 1969 car (the production ended in 1970) and it is a car equipped with the mighty 4000 c.c. inline-six, twin spark engine. The car is of… Read More Work in progress: 1969 Maserati Mistral Coupé
Very often a Porsche 911 can have more lives than a cat, finding its way to recycle itself in many different ways: this car has become something different from what it was when it saw the light 43 years ago. It’s actually a former 911 2.2T which has been transformed – with a good taste,… Read More Larger than life: 1971 Porsche 911 “2.5 ST evocation”
