This 356A is very down in the dumps, it will take a lot of work to restore it to acceptable looks and function, yet we believe it is someone’s dream. The reason is obvious: in fact this is a blank sheet from which you can start for any type of creation. In fact, since the… Read More Carbon look: 1957 Porsche 356 A Coupé
This car was the swan song of Carrozzeria Touring, indeed, perhaps it was the cause of its financial meltdown. Let’s start from the beginning: The car was the result of the collaboration between the Rootes group and the Touring body shop, which already assembled the Sunbeam Alpine and the Hillman Super Minx in its Milan… Read More The last song: 1965 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring
Indeed, for fans of classic Italian cars this is a gem: there are many (so to speak) in the spider version but very few in the coupé version. In the era of the transformations of standard Fiat cars, in which all the Italian (and not only) coachbuilder craftsmen tried their hand, OSI could not be… Read More Silver pearl: 1960 Fiat 1200S Coupé by OSI
Not the first facelifted first series Giulietta Sprint we’ve seen, however this (chassis AR1493*03585) is a remarkable example. First of all for the colour: we could be wrong but it is the “Grigio Chiarissimo” colour, very rare and, in our opinion, very beautiful on the lines of this car. The seller says that the car… Read More Flawless grey: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
The 70s were very contrasted years: great creative ferment but also a lot of violence: many had to equip themselves accordingly. And so the symbolic vehicle of the Hippie culture has been transformed for a task very far from the one for which it was born. In this case it is a Typ 2 bus… Read More Bulletproof vest: 1975 Volkswagen Typ2 by Fontauto
We never expected to find a project of this type in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains, yet some enthusiasts have tried it in the middle of the forest. Not only passionate, but also skilled: it is clear that this home-made project has been carried out by someone who knows how to handle a hammer,… Read More Rough diamond: 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO replica project
This 2000 Spider has definitely seen better days, but it’s still better than many “projects” seen lately. In fact, we have seen models like this, or 2600s, so rotten that we don’t understand how they are still all in one piece, for sale at prices which, although apparently low, would have led the owner to… Read More Ti-red: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
Take a 1960 American coupe, make it 1:2 scale and you get a BMW 700 Coupé like this one. Statistics say that just over 9,000 examples of this model were built by the Bavarian factory, but obviously there were much fewer in the USA: after all, the American who bought this car did it to… Read More Little fins: 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupé
Everyone in the past has enjoyed the little 190 SL built – let’s not lie to ourselves about that – to provide a roadster for customers who couldn’t afford the 300SL. That doesn’t mean this car was cheap at the time – it cost twice as much as an American luxury sedan and if you… Read More Appalachian star: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
We often hear “it was not understood” but in reality the problem does not lie in those who do not understand, but in those who do not explain themselves well. The above is, in a nutshell, the story of this model: it is a comfortable sedan, with an unmistakable design, luxurious interiors and a Maserati… Read More Black tie: 1974 Citroen SM
