A tip from personal experience: if you intend to buy a classic car to be restored, never buy rotten scrap just to save on the purchase price: at the end of the restoration you will regret it bitterly. You will regret it for three reasons: the first is about the money you will spend; in… Read More Dry white: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
There are classic cars whose value goes beyond the classification of year, make and model, and this happens because they carry something objectively irrelevant but emotionally important. On the other hand, if you study economics at university, they will teach you the concept of the “rational consumer” which describes the individual acting out of self-interest… Read More Orange racer: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
If you have never seen this car before, know that this is perfectly normal: only two were made in a small German workshop immediately after the end of WWII. The author of these cars is Kurt Volkhart who in 1941 ordered a new KDF chassis from the factory but given the great demand for cars… Read More Metal egg: 1944 Volkhart V2 Sagitta
DP Motorsport is not a famous brand outside the circle of Porsche enthusiasts, yet it played an important role, especially in racing in the 70s and 80s. It is in fact behind the creations of the bodyworks of the most famous Porsche 935s that Kremer and Porsche have brought to the circuits all over the… Read More Kremer dynasty: 1982 Porsche 911-935 SC Cabriolet by DP Motorsport
A v8 under the hood, beautiful lines and excellent build quality of BMW (that of 60 years ago, we mean), this is the synthesis of the BMW 503. At the time it was a very expensive car and in fact it did not have a great commercial success: the seller says that only 416 were… Read More Four heads: 1957 BMW 503 Coupé
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
The idea of a powerful and simultaneously comfortable sedan for at least four people is not new, as we can well see. Today, for those interested in this formula, there is a very wide choice limited only by the spending possibilities, while 50 years ago even being rich, the choices available were very limited. We… Read More Fast in four: 1970 Ford Taunus 20M RS
And here is the eighth episode of the Patina Monster series: this time it is a 190 SL, black and red. This car is in a condition that all classic car enthusiasts want: dry bodywork with no apparent trace of rust (and if there is, it is certainly surface oxidation that has not affected the… Read More Patina monster/8: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
The person who published the ad for the sale of this 280 C is not the owner of it, but a friend of his who helped him to advertise it. We would go straight to the point: we can’t know if this car hides some serious flaws but if it doesn’t, this car is a… Read More For a friend: 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 C
In the last few years we have noticed a growing esteem for those classic cars that once would have been considered simply abominations: body of the time with high-performance engines and suspensions. Perhaps the first to go down this path were the British guys at Eagle who built E-Types (and Aston) with those upgrades that,… Read More Honest outlaw: 1964 Porsche 356 C Coupé
