Three countries were involved in building this special car: U.S.A. for the engine, Italy for the body, England for all the rest of it.

Yes, this is one of the longest auctions we’ve ever seen: it would last 19 days (but it’s still up since three days) and that’s about a Giulietta Spider 750F (chassis Ar1495*03911), commonly known as Veloce.

Fiberglass was the main material used (steel was used as well) for the body of this car which was built in order to provide clients with a cheap but funny vehicle.

The 403 Cabriolet, which body has… Read More Blue patina: 1960 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina

When eng. Stanzani, back then chief engineer at Lamborghini, was asked to talk about the Jarama, he said “I made a car according to my taste: that was a mistake”.

Actually we were quite puzzled when we saw just six photos of a car which, lately, has been revalued as a masterpiece of italian engineering of the sixties. But more than that, this is a car which needs a complete restoration, no expense spared, so whoever wants to jump into this challenge must be aware of… Read More More photos to come: 1961 Lancia Flaminia Coupé GT by Touring
