This funny Fiat 850 Spider is said to be a barn find, actually it seems everything but a barn find. Indeed these cars, quite rare in the US and especially the US model like this one, are deeply prone to rust even if they have been well cared during their life: the poor quality of… Read More Yellow fun: 1969 Fiat 850 Spider
We know well that many pepole can’t stand bugs, even if they have a VW badge: however, especially the first series, have that Porsche allure which we love. This is a 1950 bug which still has the purity and the elegange of the early series: we found only once a pre-’50s car but they’re extremely… Read More Dark like a bug: 1950 Volkswagen Beetle
This Quattroporte has for sure been beaten on the front in the past and whoever fixed it didn’t care much of the final outcome. So the car will need for sure a good metal work on the nose but we doubt that the future owner could stop just there: this car seems a good starting… Read More Plastic surgery needed: 1966 Maserati Quattroporte
Few are the touches required to give to any GT a sexy look: a lowering suspension kit, GTA wheels and no bumpers. This 1750 MKII belongs to a member of AlfaBB community so he’s a true Alfa enthusiast: his car is not perfect but, at least in photo, looks very good. He says that the… Read More Bare minimum: 1971 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
It’s a rare thing to see, but there are people who are still able to cut and weld metal to build a proper roadster in their garage, like the builder of this car.

Here it comes another basically unknown barchetta from the past: this one, bodied by Frua, is another car based on a Fiat 1100 platform. The seller says that this is an original barchetta by Frua and as proof of this he has published a period photo of this car where is clearly visible the same original black… Read More Bulky face: 1947 Fiat 1100 Barchetta by Frua
This model was known as Fairlady but that was the home model name: outside Japan the official name was “Sports”. This car belongs to the last series produced which had some major improvements like a five speed manual transmission mated to an inline four, 2000 cc, SOHC engine producing 133 hp. It was raced in… Read More Italian wannabe: 1969 Datsun Fairlady/Sports 2000
It’s not unusual to find such car at an higher asking price: ok it’s not its rare 1.6 sister but it still is a beautiful example of what Italian could do with little cars. It’s a 13.S from 1972 painted in what we believe to be “Avorio Santa Anita”: we know this color as it’s the… Read More The price is right: 1972 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1.3S by Zagato
This Mercedes was, back then, the top notch car that money could buy, if you were looking for a four door car. Indeed it was extremely expensive: it wa sone of the favourite car of the Formula one drivers of the late sixties: a 6.3 litre V8 engine producing 250 hp and a ton of torque… Read More Muscles in disguise: 1969 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3
We could call these last two days the “Veloce days”: after the GT Veloce (sold) of friday, this is the time of a Spider.

The seller says nothing… Read More Race mood: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
