Today we’re used to know BMW as medium-luxury cars but this market positioning hasn’t been always the same. Indeed after WWII the bavarian firm was totalled and it had to begin from the lower level: Isetta saved it from bankruptcy but soon after that model they called Michelotti to design a small, economic and reliable car… Read More Original aircooled bavarian: 1964 BMW 700 Coupé
Well, the title is not ironic: this car is said to have 1,046,000 kilometers (643,000 miles) and we must say that it carries them on its shoulders very well. This is probably a world record for a Porsche: many thought that only Mercedes Benz’s could afford such mileage, but actually it’s not true: the seller… Read More One million kilometers: 1979 Porsche 928
What is so jarring about this car is the difference between exterior and interior: the first make you think “Oh my God!”, the second make you say “Wow!”. Indeed this is a one owner car which, unfortunately, has been use dfor two year only by the US Serviceman who bought it in Germany with a… Read More Jarring duality: 1970 Porsche 911 E
This car was born thanks to a temporary joint-venture between Porsche and Volkswagen, however if you ask around it’s really difficult to find someone who think at this car as a Volkswagen. Indeed the price of these cars reflects the idea that these are basically b-series Porsche, but when the focus moves on the… Read More Blue lines: 1970 VW-Porsche 914-6
The SC version of the 356 breed has lately got a lot of value, especially if mated with a factory sunroof like this project car. Of course that’s because it had the most powerful engine available (other than the much rarer – and much expensive – Carrera version) in 1965 for a Porsche and even… Read More Get some sun: 1965 Porsche 356 SC
We are pretty sure that the Karmann Ghia, particularly the early series, has been rated by the market as the new Porsche 356. Indeed we’ve seen the quotations of these cars to increase substantially over the years: now a (almost) perfect car like this one is for sale regularly with an asking price higher than… Read More The new Porsche: 1959 Karmann Ghia “lowlights”
Here it is another Karmann Ghia brought back to a new life after 45 years in storage (at least the seller says so). The seller says also that this car has done just 300 miles from the end of a restoration lasted a couple of years: these are not complicated cars to restore so we… Read More Just refreshed: 1965 Karmann Ghia Convertible
Although the train for pre-bumper 911’s has yet leaved the station, there is still some little sister which still has a reasonable price. We all know for sure that the sound of the flat four can’t ever match the bigger six cylinders unit, at least both cars are almost the same about the overall aspect:… Read More Cracked paint: 1967 Porsche 912
When we have seen at a glance this ad we thought “WOW”: unfortunately it was too good to be true. Indeed this is an SWB 911S but the problem here is that the car is equipped with a “T” engine, so we’re talking about the 40% less power than the original equipment, as well as… Read More Correct engine required: 1968 Porsche 911S SWB
These cars were made in so few units that only BMW enthusiasts know them well. It is called Touring and it’s basically the fastback version of the more famous two door sedan sister. Indeed it cannot considered by most a pretty car but, as Francis Bacon once said, “There is no excellent beauty that hath… Read More Not Superleggera: 1973 BMW 2002 Touring
