This Lancia Flavia is curiously displayed on a kind of shelf at the seller’s store. It is said to be a barn find, and it doesn’t run since 1970.

Like the Bug published on monday, even this ’57 Nomad shows tons of patina. But, differently from that Bug, this car has some rust holes on the roof wich are not so sexy to see. However, the seller says that those holes are the only ones on the car and that they’re less serious than… Read More Finned wagon: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad

John Cooper was the first (officially) who had the intuition of placing the engine behind the driver. Enzo Ferrari himself didn’t agree with this idea as, according to him, “steers have to pull the cart, not to push it”. Many years later, Ferrari converted himself to Cooper’s religion. About this particular car, the seller says… Read More Methanol fed: 1956 Cooper Junior X1 Formula 3
One of the best things of the classic cars hobby is that your certainties are continuously questioned. In this particular case, just when we thought to know (or, at least, to have seen) all the Italia 2000 survived so far, here is another one that pops out from darkness. We will not pull out about… Read More #95: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
Lancia stopped its rally career in 1992: that’s incredible but it still is the greatest rally championships winner with 11 times. Part of this record is due to this car, called “Fanalone” (“big headlight”) because the rally cars needed bigger headlights for night special stages. The seller says that the engine number of this car… Read More Rally queen: 1970 Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF “Fanalone”
The bigger, the better: this is what’s befittingly to this car. This car features a magnificent streamline design and a color which perfectly matches all those curves.
