It has been a long time since we have seen a 1900 Primavera on sale, probably also because less than 300 were produced.

The Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera is the direct heir of the “noble” 2.7 RS but, paradoxically, for many years no one has thought about it, perhaps only because of the bumpers. The 2.7 RS is in fact part of the family of the so-called “Pre-bumpers”, that is the most sought-after 911s, while starting from 74… Read More Black duck: 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7

This is an Alfa 2000 Spider built by Touring, as we have already seen many others, but this specimen is very old.

The fact that… Read More Half job: 1958 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
“The Cobra in the Barn: Great Stories of Automotive Archeology” was a book published in 2005 by Tom Cotter, which met with moderate success among classic car enthusiasts: it would certainly have included this 300SL if it had been resurrected 15 years before.

It is black and is quite healthy, it has only the slight flaw of not being painted in its original color which, at least for us, is very beautiful. It is in fact the code # 6808 known as “Aga Blue” (try google for that color) and we are curious to understand which interior color… Read More Feeling blue: 1966 Porsche 911
The great diversity of special cars built in the 1950s in Italy, using Fiat 1100 chassis and engines, is well represented by this small berlinetta.
