The Consul Capri built by Ford EU was the attempt of building a cheap but good looking coupé for the masses: unfortunately its low-powered engine and production cost didn’t contribute to its commercial success. Clearly the body has some typical early ’60s as it took some design elements from the Ford Thunderbird and the Ford Galaxie… Read More Labor of love: 1962 Ford Consul Capri
It’s very rare, at this point, to find a 356 Cabrio to restore (yep, 356: the “pre-a” nickname have never been used by Porsche), and finding a very early ’52 car it’s like to win a (little) lottery. Also because, even though this car (chassis #15005) clearly needs a huge amount of work, it is basically… Read More COD 420: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabrio
If there is a car which we can fall in love of, that’s a BMW 2002 Ti with a special color, properly lowered and with a nice set of alloy wheels, just like this car. The car is actually painted in a factory original Agave Green, used on the early production years of the E10 series and not… Read More Stanced Agave: 1970 BMW 2002 Ti
Update, same day: Turns out that the car is a real Carrera GT but this ad is a scam: the true car is for sale at €79k here in Milano, Italy. Santa’s dead, of course. There is an issue here: this Porsche 924 is advertised as a “normal” 924 but the look of the car… Read More Real or not: 1979 Porsche 924 “Carrera GT”
The last thing we’d expect to see was a BMW M1 in the typical “barn find” conditions: dust, flat tires and some stuff covering its nose and roof. But this is it. The former italian owner has driven this car for 7,329 kms and then he left it in a garage; of course something bad has happened… Read More Odd barn find: 1981 BMW M1
This is for sure one of the best color made for the glorious E9, especially when shining like this one and mated with beige leather interiors: I had one with the same color combo so I know well what I’m talking about. The seller says that this car has 79K original miles and the blue… Read More Tundra green: 1970 BMW 2800 CS
The last thing we would expect to see installed on a Mercedes 190 SL is an Abarth exhaust: you never stop learning and that’s it. Indeed the seller says that this car is equipped with the italian exhaust since 1971, the year before this car had its second repaint (after the original one). It is said to… Read More Abarth equipped: 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
The little sister of the legendary 911 has been of course underrated for many years, probably because you’d expect to hear the sound of a flat six when you see it running along the streets. However, in the last years this model have been discovered again and some specimens fetch big money, especially the early ones also… Read More Loaded purple: 1968 Porsche 912 Coupé

This 2002 Tii is said to have been fully restored and coming out from a private collection: it shows a white paint and a blue interior ad that’s a very elegant color combo. So the car has been restored but the owner put on it some touch to make the car more aggressive like the front… Read More Air dammed: 1974 BMW 2002 Tii
