The Siata Daina Gran Sport is one of the more distinctive small-series Italian sports cars of the early 1950s, conceived as a lightweight and competitive machine with clear motorsport ambitions. Built in fewer than 50 examples, the Daina combined Fiat-based mechanical components with a carefully developed chassis and elegant coachwork, resulting in a car that… Read More Unrestored: 1953 Siata Daina Gran Sport by Farina
This rare veichle is a Fiat 600 Multipla pick-up (Cassonato), one of the rarest and least-documented variants of the entire Multipla family. This is not a modern or improvised conversion, but a genuine period commercial version, produced in extremely small numbers and today almost never encountered, especially in a complete and coherent state like this… Read More Little pick up: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla “Cassonato”
The car shown here is a Moretti 750 Sport Bialbero “Le Mans”, one of the most technically interesting small-displacement Italian sports cars of the 1950s and—according to official factory confirmation—one of just 20 examples built. It belongs to that narrow group of post-war machines where craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and competition intent are compressed into the… Read More 1 of 20: 1955 Moretti 750 Sport “Le Mans”
This Lancia Flaminia Coupé Pininfarina presents itself as an example that, while requiring restoration work, shows characteristics that are increasingly difficult to find today: overall originality, completeness, and a solid structural base. From the images provided, the car appears largely intact, without evidence of invasive restorations or improper modifications, and displays a clear and consistent… Read More Patina monster/12: 1959 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina
The 1970 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Zagato belongs to one of the most distinctive and low-volume chapters of Alfa Romeo’s post-war production. Designed at Zagato under Ercole Spada, the Junior Z departed entirely from the Bertone-bodied coupes of the 105 series, adopting a compact fastback shape with a large rear glass hatch and a… Read More Red special: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
About ten years ago I went to inspect in person a car like this, painted in silver, and I was stunned by the dark brown leather interior. The owner told me about this almost mythical “Lusso” specification I had never heard of; at the time I honestly thought it was an urban legend, until I… Read More Lusso: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This Lancia Lambda V8 “Mille Miglia” recreation is one of those cars that immediately raises the usual question: replica, special, or the most honest way to enjoy a piece of Lancia history without being terrified of stone chips and extra kilometres? In reality, it’s a bit of all three – and that’s exactly what makes… Read More Early hot-rod: 1929 Lancia Lambda V8 “Mille Miglia Replica”
Rare and unique are the words that best define this 1949 Fiat 1500D Convertible, styled and bodied by the prestigious Stabilimenti Farina. This is not just any early postwar Fiat: it is the six-cylinder Fiat 1500, the refined evolution of the prewar 1500 “6C,” one of the most advanced Italian family cars of the late… Read More Maroon six / 2: 1949 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet by Farina
A handsome survivor in rosso ossido (oxide red), this Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé pairs one-owner provenance with the right kind of mechanical pedigree: the alloy, DOHC Dino V6 conceived for Ferrari and mass-built by Fiat so the engine could be homologated for late-’60s Formula 2. The coupé’s crisp fastback lines came from Bertone—first sketched under… Read More Oxide red: 1968 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé by Bertone
If you’ve never heard of the MarDal, that’s because it was a bespoke one-off—its name formed from Marzotto + Dal Moro—commissioned by the racing Marzotto brothers, especially Umberto, in 1951. The brief was pure post-war Italian ingenuity: a petite 750 built on a lightweight Gilco tubular chassis (the same firm that supplied Ferrari’s racing frames),… Read More One of one: 1951 MarDal 750 Sport by Fontana
