Nowadays we use to see a lot of abandoned cars covered by a one finger-tall layer of dirt and dust, and that is defined as “patina”. This early 356 (chassis #51465) is not dusty but indeed it has the real patina. The seller says basically that this car is a survivor: he indeed says that this… Read More Patina is not dust: 1953 Porsche 356 Coupé
We’ve seen many variations made on the great VW, however we must admit that this customisation has been made with great taste and attention to historical details. Of course the owner/customiser has tried to backdate this Combi as the little taillights show, he also put older wheels and used a typical early ’60s color combo. The… Read More Beach cruiser included: 1970 Volkswagen Combi
This blog is now the official home of these cars. Here in another one living in France (like most of these cars, if you exclude Germany) which looks quite good. Differently from the other OSI 20M TS published here, this car has a little boss on the bonnet which could maybe hide an engine bigger… Read More Gimme one more: 1968 OSI 20M TS Coupé
The more the time passes, the more the feeling that these early Karmann are the new Porsche 356 grows. Indeed we already saw some perfectly restored specimen for sale at a very high price. No later than three years ago a car in this condition would have been worth no more than $2,000 (tops), today it’s a… Read More How low can you go? 1959 Karmann Ghia Coupè “Lowlight”
Until few years ago seeing a Samba in need of a total restoration for sale at this asking price would have made you laugh to tears but, considering the actual market, we have to admit that this is a fair deal. The austrian seller says that this Samba was originally delivered in Germany, so basically it… Read More Dance project: 1964 Volkswagen T1 Samba
Finally we can consider this the “Bavarian Week”, which ends with this 2002 Turbo in need of some care, but with a quite good overall look. The seller says that this was sold new in Germany and then exported to Japan more than twenty years ago. It’s not a show car but, as the seller… Read More Wider than usual: 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo
The production of this little BMW fastback began when the german firm bought Glas, a german whorkshop which basically made most of their cars starting from a BMW chassis and engine. Indeed this car started its life as a Glas 1300 GT in 1964: yet then Glas asked to italian master coachbuilder Pietro Frua to… Read More Italian-german hybrid: 1968 BMW 1600GT by Frua
We featured another car of the same series few months ago (see related), but then it was a two door sedan version. This one is the more seducent cabriolet which is also much scarcer as well. Indeed it’s the first time we see one for sale, and we must say that also the color is… Read More Those sweet eyes: 1953 DKW F91 Sonderklasse Cabriolet
Actually we don’t know the e12 series as it never excited us too much, so we didn’t know that the first series 2 liter had the same engine (and gearbox) of the 2002 tii which is famous to be a thoroughbred among its competitors. This car is however well set up: it has a beautiful color (Fiord… Read More Tii in disguise: 1975 BMW 520i
Not the cheapest 2002 “Roundie” on the market, but for sure it seems a car in beautiful conditions. The color code is 006 (Sahara) and you love it or hate it: a third options simply doesn’t exist. The car looks enough original, with some touches to improve driveability and look: the seats and the 5-speed… Read More German Sahara: 1971 BMW 2002
