It wasn’t difficult, among cars built in the 1950s, to find cars that had “parents” of different nationalities: here is a representative specimen. The reason for this multiple paternity (or maternity) was the different specialization of the different countries: Nobody did bodywork as well as the Italians and therefore, for a luxury car, it was… Read More Niche stuff: 1954 Nash Healey Coupé by Pininfarina
454 c.i, convertible, 4 speed, one owner, 13,326 original miles: it is an excellent business card for a car that has become an icon. To the details it should be added that this car is a full-blown “barn find”: the photos published show the car, probably at the time of its discovery, covered by decades… Read More Aged wine: 1970 Chevrolet Corvette 454 Convertible
We have always liked Mustangs, as you well know, but generally we only released those produced from 1966 to 1970 (and only if Fastback or Sportsroof), we never released one of a subsequent series. Yet, perhaps due to the maturing tastes or simply because the former are becoming unapproachable from a price point of view,… Read More Lime horse: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof
The seller hasn’t written much about this Tiger, but what he has written is actually what really matters. Indeed the car is said to still have its original 260 V8 engine and 4 speed gearbox and that it has 67K documented miles: it is extremely rare for a car over 50 to have such a… Read More Roootes: 1966 Sunbeam Tiger MK1A
Four years ago we published an article about a similar car, but unlike the first this one looks much more complete and “refined”. However, it is very rare to see for sale these kit cars produced in the 70s and, obviously, based on a Volkswagen Typ1 chassis (more commonly known as Beetle) which ensured maximum… Read More Old future: 1961 Sportsland Concept 1
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
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
If life gives you lemons, make a lemonade. We would say instead that if it gives you a lime like this then drive it. The seller says that this Mustang painted in Lime Gold is an actual GT390 as it came from the factory and that, indeed, all the metal panels are the original ones… Read More Fresh lime: 1967 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback
The bull is not only a symbol of Lamborghini, but also of a factory like Intermeccanica which saw its birth in Turin, the city – in fact – whose symbol is the bull. This Intermeccanica Italia was born red (at least so the seller says) and equipped by the factory with air conditioning and electric… Read More Yellow bull: 1969 Intermeccanica Italia
In the United States, out of 100 recreational vehicles sold, only 10% are motor caravans while the remaining 90% are caravans: probably because, unlike in Europe, there are many pickups to which the aforementioned trailers can be attached. In Europe, as we said, caravans are 70% of the market, a market where Germany is the… Read More Alternative camping: 1953 Ford Vanette
