Porsche 911 are famous because of their inclination to oversteer if not driven properly. Swb 911 are the best in this job but they’re so charming as well. The seller says that this car has benefitted by a bare restoration and that it has been rebuilt according to FIA specifications, including a FIA approved roll… Read More You spin me round: 1967 Porsche 911S 2.0
Yes, we like period hot-rods too. We like their ingenuity and their simplicity. So, we can’t stand billet aluminium, digital gauges or $20,000 paint jobs on these cars. This particular car is said to have a known history since it left the factory. The seller says also that the car is rock solid and completely… Read More This is traditional: 1932 Ford Tudor Hot Rod
This 1967 Fulvia Zagato belongs to the first series, so it is bodied with aluminium. This is the only reason why it doesn’t drip rust from everywhere. Otherwise it shows the typical “scratched look” of aluminium cars when not cared during the years. Shame on the twin headlights but they are easily replaceable with the… Read More Scratched: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1300 by Zagato
80″ is not the displacement but the wheelbase of this early Land Rover. The model year 1952 was the first to have a two liters inline-four engine, differently from the cars between 1948 and 1951 which had a 1.6L unit. 1952 is also the first year in which these cars changed their classification from “commercial”… Read More This is spartan: 1952 Land Rover 80″
Balbo coackworks built many special Fiat between the ’30’s and the ’50’s, this car is one of those specials. The seller says few about this car, but watching some period photos this car seems correct (at least from outside). The front end recalls many american cars of the same period, especially Chrysler. A bit more… Read More Vintage purple: 1948 Fiat 1100 Trasformabile by Balbo
During the ’50’s and ’60’s, Chrysler often contacted Ghia for some collaboration works for designing and/or manufacturing of its custom show cars. The Ghia 450 SS is said to be the result of an idea of Burt Sugarman, an Hollywood producer, who pushed Ghia to build such car, both in coupè and spider versions. So,… Read More Sugarman’s idea: 1967 Ghia-Chrysler 450 SS Spider
Wherever you turn your head you could easily spot a VW Bug, as millions have been produced from 1938 so far. But, you can’t easily spot a pre-’50’s Bug. This car is very rare to find and so, as the asking price suggests, this rarity must be paid. The seller says few about this particular… Read More Form and Function: 1949 Volkswagen Bug
According to the seller, this early barchetta was built by (or based on the design of) Armando Palanca, and built on the chassis, engine and suspensions of a 1940 Fiat 1500 6C. Armando Palanca, not known by most people, was an italian aeronautical engineer (perhaps the top-notch back then) who worked with the team which… Read More No rain, no gain: 1940 Fiat 1500 6C by Palanca
In the late ’40’s, the french Simca began to produce the Simca 8 based on the Fiat 1100C chassis and mechanicals. This car was actually almost the exact copy of its italian cousin, the Fiat 1100C by Farina coachworks. Both cars owe a lot to the Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet. On the Simca 8, the engine… Read More Farina outside: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet
This 1971 Giulia sedan is painted in the typical Alfa Romeo “Azzurro Spazio” (space blue) and, we must say, it seems a very good paint. Basically, the whole car seems very nice and it’s a TI Super, so the engine is the same installed on the Gt Junior, fed by two throat Weber DCOE carburetors.… Read More Space blue: 1971 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 TI Super
