In recent years, Alfa Romeo collecting has increasingly turned towards “limited editions” such as, in the case of the 750 and 101 series, the Spider Veloce. But you know what? It depends on what you do with it. I mean that in the regular use of these cars, or at cruising speeds to enjoy a… Read More Red outside: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
The light work vehicles produced 50 or 60 years ago in Italy were not exclusive to Fiat, but also to the most refined Lancia. They too helped Italy in the post-war economic recovery. In our case, these are two installations carried out on a common platform: that of the Lancia Ardea, a medium-high class sedan… Read More Two trucks: 1952 Lancia Ardea 800 van and pickup
If, at the end of the 1960s, you had been Italian twenties, not necessarily rich, but at least wealthy, you probably would have asked your father for a car like this. And in fact the target of this car was precisely the kids who could afford a car with a sporty but not as expensive… Read More Red toy: 1969 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
It is not very difficult to find a Fiat 1500s Cabriolet for sale, however this particular example has very rare features. Let’s say to begin with that this is a restored specimen, and it also looks excellent even if the photos are not the best to judge a car (in reality, a car should never… Read More Top Hardtop: 1962 Fiat 1500S O.S.C.A. Cabriolet
Since we are talking about a rare car even in Europe (not to mention the USA), we can also forgive some defects which are however easily correctable. After all, this is a substantially original car that has had some “upgrades” over time, both due to the tastes of the previous owners and out of necessity:… Read More Jaguar badged: 1967 OSI TS 2300
We know that this car will certainly not interest a good chunk of our readers, especially Europeans, as cars of this type do not belong to their automotive culture. However, we consider ourselves very democratic: any car, produced in any continent, and of any category, arouses our interest if certain conditions are met. In the… Read More Tuck and roll: 1932 Ford Deuce Coupé
For some years now, many collectors of the cars built in the Portello factory have also been interested in their commercial vehicles, certainly much rarer than their car cousins. We have indeed written several times about how much the models A 11 and F11, or A12 and F12 have been further re-evaluated and how their… Read More Call of duty: 1980 Alfa Romeo F12 Ambulance
All Italian classic car enthusiasts know that there is an underlying problem when it comes to Abarths based on mass-produced Fiat models. In fact, if we talk about an Abarth Record Monza or Bialbero, we know with certainty that at least the bodywork and the interiors are original as it would be uneconomical to reproduce… Read More Snappy red: 1967 Abarth OT 1000 Stradale
The period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s was perhaps the most glorious period for Alfa Romeo, both in terms of sales and sports victories. It is in fact in this decade that Alfa Romeo becomes closer to the “people”: we must never forget that the cars produced by Alfa were certainly not within everyone’s… Read More Green outside: 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
It is not new that the “special” edition Fiat 500 A and B are rare, and this is even more true when it comes to cars set up for work. Many coachbuilders have tried their hand at the construction of bespoke bodies on the frames of these cars that they bought directly from the factory,… Read More Working class: 1948 Fiat 500A “Furgoncino”
