Ok, we imagine that at first glance you may look at this ad and think “What am I supposed to do with this wreck?” This question would make perfect sense if the car in question was an Appia Convertible belonging to the third series, this instead belongs to the second series and this means three… Read More Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
We did not know of the existence of this model: in fact we knew the OT 2000 called by the nickname “Monster”, this is the smaller sister. In fact, it seems that very few specimens of this model (technically called 102 / B) were built: this model had to be purchased directly from the racing… Read More Top tier: 1965 Abarth OT 1600
To those unfamiliar with cars it seems that making a spider version is easy: just saw off the roof and add a soft top but we know that this is not the case at all. The lack of the roof compromises the torsional rigidity of the chassis so, by eliminating the roof, it is necessary… Read More The open one: 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi
We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is… Read More Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro
Sold new and aged in the same place, this could be the short story of this Giulietta Sprint. It is in fact a specimen which, although it is not rare in itself (in relative terms, of course) has the rarity of having been sold new in Rome in 1965, and has remained in the Italian… Read More Roman citizen: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
“Patina” is a term that is too often overused: it is in fact used for a wide range of conditions, from the perfectly preserved and original car to the one that has rust holes. In the case of this Porsche 356 (chassis #57011) we are talking about patina but in reality there is a lot… Read More More than patina: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
In this case “bug” is not the nickname given to the Volkswagen Typ1, but to this insect-shaped car, very precious and sought after. In fact, it is a Record Monza characterized in particular by two things: the roof without the double bubble and above all, under the rear hood, a 750 Bialbero engine very angry… Read More Yellow bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Record Monza by Zagato
Very few cars like this have survived time and road accidents. Indeed, as far as we are concerned this is the first one we see for sale. In fact it is easy to confuse this Moretti 600 with the Algier-Le Cap, but in reality there are differences even if at first glance they look like… Read More Split screen: 1951 Moretti 600 Berlinetta
What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course. Especially if the climate is that of Virginia, one of the wettest states in the United States, a climate that puts all classic cars to the test. Of course,… Read More Under the tarp: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
By now, for those who want it, there are no longer many possibilities to get your hands on a Porsche 356 at a “human” price. When I sold my 356 T5 Cabriolet for $ 47,000 more than ten years ago, it took me six months and even had to accept a car as a partial… Read More Last call: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet
