The Citroen SM has always been little considered in the world of classic cars, perhaps for the fact that it was a Citroen in itself, perhaps for the fear of facing the maintenance or restoration of a “complex” car, perhaps for both reasons. Yet when this car was unveiled in Geneva in March 1970, the… Read More Code S: 1972 Citroen SM
Of course, it is a mixed bag out there, but this odel was definitely missing from our imaginary car collection. Obviously we did not know of the existence of this model. This car came out of the factory as a normal Ford equipped with a 3.3 liter inline 6-cylinder engine, after which it was converted… Read More High voltage: 1980 EVA Curfare electric car
Bluette is the name that Alfa Romeo has given to this particular shade: it is a blue that takes on green tones in the sun: it is very beautiful and typical of Alfa Romeo, perhaps even more than red. We all know the car instead: it is a Giulia, perhaps the most aggressive-looking four-door sedan… Read More Bluette sleeper: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI
Volvo hasn’t produced many models in its history (at least until the 1980s) so those few models made have remained iconic. However, they weren’t in all markets: until the 1970s, Volvo was basically absent from the roads of southern Europe; more have been sold at home and in northern Europe and, especially with the Amazon… Read More Seriously fun: 1969 Volvo Amazon 123GT
This F11 was abandoned in the countryside: today it seems strange to us but this was often – almost always, we would say – the end of these vans made by Alfa Romeo. If you think about it all this is not strange: if only up to twenty years ago someone had told you that… Read More Country boy: 1971 Alfa Romeo F11
A necessary (but not sufficient) requirement for a car to be admitted to the modern edition of the Mille Miglia is that the car was built by 1957, the year in which the last edition of the legendary race took place. However, every year (except 2020 and the current year, for reasons we know well)… Read More Mille Miglia ticket: 1955 Fiat 600
Indeed, this is the second specimen ever seen by us of this special, and very rare, Fiat 600: it is in fact a four-door version built by Francis Lombardi coachworks. At the time it cost about 30% more than the standard version, a cost imposed by the complex processing of the body to allow the… Read More The second one: 1956 Fiat 600 Lucciola by Francis Lombardi
It is no news that we like custom cars “outside the box”, and this 1964 Corvair Convertible is no exception. A well made custom car is not simply a production car which has the paintwork, wheels, interior, complete engine or part of it changed, but is a car modified according to a manufacturer’s vision, no… Read More Taz theme: 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible custom
GT Juniors to be restored are increasingly rare. And when they are found, they now have prices that until ten years ago they asked for a car in almost perfect condition. We could say, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, That’s the market, baby. The market! And there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing! So when… Read More Big heart: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
We have published some Fiat 600s built by Viotti, both in Coupé and Granluce versions, but it is the first time that we have had a green one. Christophe, the owner of this beautiful car, reported the ad to us and we did not miss the opportunity to comment on it. The photos available to… Read More Cute green: 1956 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
