Occasionally we find these small coupes with fiberglass bodywork for sale, produced in Brazil by Willys under a Renault license. As is evident, we consider this car very attractive, even if small and not very fast. In fact this model is basically an A110 with slightly smaller dimensions and an engine originally of 900 c.c.… Read More Yellow plastic: 1968 Alpine A-108
In reality we did not understand very well from these photos the exact color of the car: it would seem a cross between green and blue, often called “oil green”. However it is called, the substance is that it is a very beautiful shade, especially when it is flanked by interiors and a soft top like… Read More Vert parisien: 1960 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Let’s face it, for all classic car enthusiasts, seeing a car parked in a garage and partially buried by unusual household items is now a cliché. However the fact that it is a cliché does not diminish its charm, as in the case of this Simca 8 Sport Coupé which was evidently parked many years… Read More Partially buried: 1951 Simca 8 Sport Coupé by Facel
We know the vans built by Citroen after the Second World War, but we had never seen one built before. A van – we have to say – far ahead for the time both for the shapes and for the general organization of the overall dimensions which allowed a considerable load capacity, certainly at the… Read More Form & Function: 1939 Citroén TUB
If there’s one thing that drives us crazy, it’s the small sports berlinettas built in small series during the 40s and 50s. As we all know 80% of these cars were produced on a Fiat basis, but some were not, as in the case of this Panhard X86, imported (as a chassis) in Italy by… Read More Scrapyard survivor: 1953 Panhard X86 Berlinetta by Allemano

Finally another Simca 1200 S designed by Bertone. Finally because we had not seen it on the market for some time, and we are sorry of that because we have always liked this car. Elegant, small and snappy are the main connotations of this small coupe that at the time had a moderate commercial success,… Read More Be green/2: 1967 Simca 1200 S Coupé by Bertone
There are replicas of all kinds, badly made, ridiculous, so-so, done well: this Simca 8 certainly belongs to the last category. It is a Simca Gordini barchetta rebuilt based on the chassis, engine and suspension of a Simca 8 (already quite rare in itself). Now, someone will turn up their nose seeing a Simca 8… Read More Red copy: 1953 Simca Gordini Barchetta replica
Although we have published other Simca 8s in the past, none of them was in the conditions of this convertible that looks like a real time capsule. The seller says that this car has been brought in the US when his service was over very common in those years: That’s not the first time we… Read More Flash inside: Simca 8 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
It is not the first time that we publish a Peugeot 403 Cabriolet and let’s hope that it is not even the last, especially when that’s about a barn find. In fact, the seller claims that this cabriolet, built in little more than 2,000 specimens by Pininfarina, is a true barn find in the sense… Read More A restaurer: 1957 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
