In a period in which the off-road vehicle market is very strong, it is not a surprise to see the restored classic vehicles, which are part of this category. Some of these classic off-road vehicles are unknown to us, just like this Renault Colorale 4×4 from 1960, although we understand that this model was produced… Read More Country coral: 1960 Renault Colorale 4×4
This car is called Murena GT, and it’s said to have been built in a very small series of 10 (maybe 11) cars by Intermeccanica which built the bodies, following the idea of Joseph Vos, president of Murena Motors. This car is powered by a mean Thunderbird 429 c.i. 8V engine, so you’ll need to… Read More 3rd out of eleven: 1969 Murena GT
The seller of this car basically says that the car is flawless and therefore for a potential buyer there is nothing left to do but count the money before coming to pick it up. It is certainly true that the 1300 Scorpio around are few and it is not at all easy to find one… Read More Count the money: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione by Francis Lombardi
We are not writing anything new when we argue that “Barn Find” conditions are what most fascinate collectors or simple enthusiasts, but when it comes to pre-war cars, it increases exponentially. We do not know what the history of this car is but it is the car itself that can tell us a part of… Read More Patina Monster/9: 1935 Lancia Augusta by Viotti
The idea of a powerful and simultaneously comfortable sedan for at least four people is not new, as we can well see. Today, for those interested in this formula, there is a very wide choice limited only by the spending possibilities, while 50 years ago even being rich, the choices available were very limited. We… Read More Fast in four: 1970 Ford Taunus 20M RS
And here is the eighth episode of the Patina Monster series: this time it is a 190 SL, black and red. This car is in a condition that all classic car enthusiasts want: dry bodywork with no apparent trace of rust (and if there is, it is certainly surface oxidation that has not affected the… Read More Patina monster/8: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
This car has been in the possession of the current owner for 23 years who says he has never driven it in the rain all this time – not surprising as we would have done the same. It was sold new in Switzerland and then imported to the USA where, in 2015, it received a… Read More Bayou burgundy: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint
These cars, universally known as “Buggies” had their golden age in the sixties and seventies and then fell into oblivion for about thirty years. The idea of building an open body in synthetic material to be connected to the Volkswagen Beetle chassis was by Bruce Meyers, an idea that has been successful as some sources… Read More Real deal: 1961 Meyers Manx
This is the small sister of the 300SL: the 190SL was in fact built in the image and likeness of its older sister but with a price tag that can still be reached by few, but certainly more than those who could afford a 300SL, both coupe and spider. And we must also say that… Read More Little sister: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
We agree that this doesn’t look like the best Typ2 from an aesthetic point of view, yet the seller claims that rust on this bodywork is minimal. In fact apparently the bodywork seems to be made of plaster, probably this is due to the overlapping of layers of paint given over the years (even by… Read More Chalk look: 1958 Volkswagen Typ2 Panel van
