This is a fairly rare BMW, indeed, very rare as not only is it a 1600 TI but it is also a Touring (at least the badges say so) Of course, this car has a much more particular design than its notchback sister, and in fact not everyone likes it, yet, precisely because of its… Read More Twin carb: 1971 BMW 1600 TI Touring
“Patina” is a term that is too often overused: it is in fact used for a wide range of conditions, from the perfectly preserved and original car to the one that has rust holes. In the case of this Porsche 356 (chassis #57011) we are talking about patina but in reality there is a lot… Read More More than patina: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course. Especially if the climate is that of Virginia, one of the wettest states in the United States, a climate that puts all classic cars to the test. Of course,… Read More Under the tarp: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
By now, for those who want it, there are no longer many possibilities to get your hands on a Porsche 356 at a “human” price. When I sold my 356 T5 Cabriolet for $ 47,000 more than ten years ago, it took me six months and even had to accept a car as a partial… Read More Last call: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet

If you search for some his photo on the web, you will immediately understand where his nickname comes from.… Read More Der Afro: 1977 Bitter CD by Ghia
If the restorers were superheroes, they would all have one common enemy: rust. And rust is unfortunately an enemy to be feared especially on BMW’s E9 series. In the particular case of this car, the damage caused by corrosion is evident at first glance, but on these cars the horror hides inside the front fenders… Read More Baikal rust: 1971 BMW 2800 CS
Also in this case – unfortunately – we are faced with a project that ended only in the mind of those who thought it up. In reality we only see a disassembled car. That the car is disassembled is not a problem in itself, the problem arises when a project is abandoned for years and… Read More Tenant of the barn: 1957 BMW Isetta 300
All classic car enthusiasts would like to own a car with as clean a past as possible and, last but not least, owned by as few owners as possible. Clearly with the passing of the years all this becomes more and more difficult and yet we still live in an era in which, in rare… Read More Riverside ivory: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupé
There are several 356s on sale right now, yet this one struck us for two very specific reasons. The first reason is the combination of colors: you may like it or not but you will rarely see another Porsche 356 (of any series) painted in Togo Brown with a green interior; this combo color is… Read More Chocolate mint: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Coupé
Actually this Amphicar has never literally sunk, but she would not hesitate to do so if it were put into the water as it is now. Obviously most of the cars that are 50 years old or more suffer from rust problems, but we are talking about “regular” cars, certainly not vehicles halfway between a… Read More Sunken boat: 1967 Amphicar Model 770
