It’s almost puzzling to see a special 1100-103 Fiat built by a not-italian coachbuilder, but in this case we’re just before such case: this car has been built by german coachbuilder Wendler, the same guy who built the bodies of the Porsche RS 61 and some beautiful Volkswagen-based cars. This car is said to be… Read More Lateral thinking: 1953 Fiat 1100-103 by Wendler
Here it is one survivor of the 1,075 Eldorado Seville made in 1960. Actually, for us the ’60 Seville is The Cadillac: in that year the Caddy abandoned those huge (and somehow ridiculous) fins to adopt a couple of sleeker and elegant fins on the back end. The Seville had also a particular front/rear grilles,… Read More Gold inside: 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
This Alfa Romeo recreation is based on a 1950 6C 2500 engine and chassis, plus other period components. In our opinion this car should be a tribute to her famous relative, the 1938 8C 2900 Mille Miglia by Touring coachworks, although the front grille looks like the one installed on the 2300 Pescara. The seller… Read More Silver screens: 1950 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 recreation
Believe it or not, this 1955 Citroen 2CV is Mille Miglia elegible. Not later than two years ago, a 1957 sister of this car joined that event. This particular car is an early model pushed by a 375 c.c. flat twin, air cooled engine. Early cars had a very strange, but very economic and effective… Read More Another Mille Miglia entry: 1955 Citroen 2CV
3=6 was the equation used by DKW to explain that, because of its two stroke engine and so, twice as many power impulses as a four stroke, the 896 c.c. inline-three sounds – and feels – like an inline-six engine. The truth is that this engine sounds like a mean lawn mower during acceleration and… Read More The other bug: 1954 DKW 3-6 Auto Union F91 Meisterklasse
This 1965 Giulia Spider Veloce (type 101.18) is one of only 1,091 made between 1964 and 1965. This model is the cutting edge of the Giulietta Spider family, featuring a 1570 c.c. twin cam engine (type 121) fed by a couple of Weber carburetors, and front disc brakes. Basically, the engine was the same installed… Read More The fastest one: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
This 1957 Bel Air Convertible is stuck in the middle (or less) of a full restoration. The seller says that some metal job has been done in a previous restoration but that apart from some spots, the car is solid. It also says that new brake lines have been installed along with four disc brakes.… Read More Most parts included: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
This 1956 s.w.b. Giulietta Spider (1495*1225) is said to be mostly original, including its Fergat rims set. The seller says that the car was purchased eleven years ago from an old lady who should have been the first owner of the car. The seller says also that since then the car had some bodywork around… Read More Original tires: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
France, both for the seller and for the car: differently from the 1200S featured here, this car is not white nor blue, the official color for french racing cars. Indeed this car shows a beautiful Rosso Corsa which mates perfectly with the black front grilles and the black vinyl interiors. This is a model year 1969… Read More French Giugiaro/2: 1969 Simca Bertone 1200 S
We are not Lancia experts so we can’t spot any typical sign which makes the difference between a 3rd and a 4th series of the B20 breed. Obviously, the main difference is about the rear suspensions system: much complex on the first three series. Just for this reason, it was abandoned (it was much more… Read More Unsure series: 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupé
