Few left indeed of these Spider Veloce which, in 1957, the first year of their production, were built – some say – in just 38 specimens. Actually we heard that 200 were built and 38 or 35 still survive so it would be nice to know the truth about this matter. Whatever it’s very difficult… Read More Few left: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Two days, two California black plate cars: today the car published is not a big shot of the market but nevertheless it’s less lovely than the early Porsche. First because of the car itself which is a superb example of italian microcar engineering and style: this car has a lovely coral/black color combo which is… Read More PYK 450: 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile
The first black Merak SS ever seen by us for sale is just this car: the SS, factory type 122/A, was the ultimate Merak: 220 hp from a 3000 cc, V6 engine. The higher power was obtained thanks to an increased engine compression ratio and bigger carburetors: three downdraft Weber 44 DCNF had the task… Read More Black beauty: 1976 Maserati Merak SS
This is a very early Giulia Sprint and you easily understand it by few details like the “pantograph” style hood stop mechanism which is a feature olnly on ’63 and few ’64 cars. The seller says hat it is in good conditions and actually we couldn’t say otherwise; it has some flaws which go beyond some… Read More Far east car: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
This Giulia SS was born red: the white paint job has been made by the woman who owned it in order to give the car the “TZ” look, indeed the tail edge is painted in black. The car doesn’t move since 1972 because it lost its clutch during the race, and was moved to the owner’s… Read More Lime Rock veteran: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
This is one of the early Mistral built as the seller says that this is the 56th cars out of Frua coachworks, it needs a full restoration but it seems solid. Indeed this car has for sure stored well and in a dry climate because very few signs of deep rust can be spotted on the… Read More Solid silver: 1964 Maserati Mistral
We’ve already published this car in our previous article about Classic Virus List, but we believe that this car went a little bit unnoticed, and that would be a waste.This is a car in need of a total restoration and unfortunately there is only one photo posted by the seller, but we believe that this… Read More Coachbuilt rarity: Fiat 1200 Coupé by Pininfarina
Just like the Sportinia published here, also this special Fiat Coupé (this time built by Vignale), was born painted in a golden shade, actually often used in the seventies but not much in the previous decade. This particular model, said to be built in 60 units of which only 15 are known to survive nowadays, has… Read More Rising gold/2: 1965 Fiat 1300S by Vignale
The GTC was probably a bet of Alfa Romeo, maybe to test the waters when the era of the Giulietta Spider definitely arrived to the last stop. Whatever it was made for, the bet was lost. First of all because of the cost: the production of this car was given to Touring in Milano, a… Read More Open minded: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC
The seller of this 1750 Gt Veloce says that he owns the car since 1985 when it was is daily driver until 1991 when he was “distracted” by a war so he left the car without the spark plug installed. So the engine rusted and the owner didn’t drive them since. The problem is that… Read More Distracted by war: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
