The Giulia saloon needs no introduction, but Alfa Romeo never offered it as a factory station wagon. The estate versions — usually described as Giardinetta or Promiscua — were built in tiny numbers by outside coachbuilders such as Colli, Grazia and Giorgetti, almost always on commission for institutional customers like the Polizia Stradale or the… Read More Rare wagon: 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super 1600 by Grazia
The Maserati Kyalami sits in a difficult but interesting corner of the marque’s history. It belongs to the early De Tomaso period, derived in part from the Longchamp architecture but fitted with Maserati’s own V8 and reshaped into a more restrained grand tourer. It was never produced in large numbers, and the later 4.9-litre cars… Read More Silver wind: 1978 Maserati Kyalami 4.9
The Fiat 1100/103 opened a new phase for Fiat when it appeared in 1953, with a modern unitary body and a more contemporary shape than the earlier 1100 series. That matters here because the listing describes this car as a 1948 Fiat 1100 Pininfarina, but that date is not consistent with a 1100/103-based car. If… Read More White puzzle: 1953 FIAT 1100-103 Coupé by Pininfarina
The Appia was Lancia’s smaller post-war car, but as often with Lancia the more interesting examples are not the standard saloons. The Vignale-bodied Appia Lusso sits in a different category: coachbuilt, more refined in detail, and far less common than the regular factory versions. A 1960 example with black Padova plates is therefore worth attention,… Read More Unusual version: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso Coupé by Vignale
The first-series Delta is not yet, in this form, one of the most sought-after Lancias on the market. That is precisely why an example like this deserves attention. The 1300 carburettor version belongs to the quieter, more ordinary end of the original range, but today it is far harder to find a car like this… Read More White survivor: 1982 Lancia Delta 1300
The Espada was the company’s four-seat grand tourer, less mythologised than the Miura but more usable and, in period, hardly a secondary product. By the time the Series II arrived, the model had gained a cleaner dashboard layout and mechanical development, but the basic appeal remained the same: Gandini styling, a front-mounted V12 and an… Read More Dusted: 1971 Lamborghini Espada
The Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider Touring belongs to the period when Alfa Romeo was trying to move slightly upmarket without giving up its twin-cam four-cylinder formula. Built by Touring, the Spider used the shortened 2000 platform and combined refined proportions with relatively advanced mechanical specification for the time, including the 1,975 cc engine and five-speed… Read More Big challenge: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
The Flaminia was Lancia’s flagship in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the Touring-bodied convertible sits in the most exclusive part of the range: coachbuilt, elegant, and built in very limited numbers. The first-series 2.5-litre single-carburettor cars are among the rarer Flaminias, and this is the aspect that gives the model most of its… Read More White bargain: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Convertibile by Touring
This 1954 Nardi Crosley Frua 750 sits in that niche where post-war Turin craftsmanship meets “small-displacement” competition history. The key name is Enrico Nardi—engineer, tuner, and constructor with deep ties to Italian racing culture—and the coachwork is attributed to Pietro Frua, which means the shape is not just functional skin but a period design statement… Read More Yello barchetta: 1954 Nardi-Crosley 750 by Frua
This Fiat 1100 “Stabilimenti Farina” combines mass-production mechanicals with a coachbuilt body. It is based on a Fiat 1100 with the 108C engine, built in 1947 and first registered in 1948, left-hand drive. The seller states the body is entirely aluminum and that the car retains its first-series engine and chassis combination (matching numbers). The… Read More Full Deco: 1947 FIAT 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
