This car is the tentative of copying a car actually made by Abarth back in 1967 on the Fiat 850 platform: it was called OT 2000 and it was, maybe, the most extreme road going car built by the factory. Five cars were built by Abarth in order to join the endurance competitions of that… Read More Hard-core replica: 1970 Abarth OT 2000 Coupé
This 2000 Spider (chassis #AR102.04.01549) project comes from Mexico where it is said to have been with the original owner until now: maybe that’s why it’s the first time ever we see the original rigid toolbox we didn’t know about its existence. This looks a nice project indeed: this former-red car has a very dry… Read More Many papers, few rust: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
March 14 Here it is again with a price drop to €15,000 (today $16,600) February 23 That’s the first time we see for sale an Appia convertibile in this pale blue shade: actually this car has also a blue interior and soft top. Usually it’s easier to find these cars in white red or grey so… Read More Blue on blue: 1963 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
We didn’t know about the existence of this car: ok, maybe our knowledge of british cars is smaller than the italian one but we didn’t imagine to miss a factory produced car. The seller says that this is one of the two HKV produced: maybe they realized that the car was too heavy and slow so… Read More Only two made: 1949 Triumph TRX-HKV 20
This late Giulietta 750F has had some transplant which involved its engine and not only: for sure this should be quite quicker than when it was born. Indeed the seller says that it is a 750F: we believe him but at the same time we have spotted the mother of all issues: the engine clearly… Read More Giulia inside: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
This 750E Giulietta (chassis #1493E*23895) is one of the latest cars produced with that model tag: it has already some characters of the 101 series like the bigger headlights, different front grilles and heart along with a different engine code (106), but still it’s a Veloce. The first impression which comes to mind watching the… Read More Late car: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
The enormous number of variations based on the Fiat 1100 platform included, of course, a station wagon body, actually already made on the 1100-103 model of the late fifties and then continued until the early seventies. This station wagon, called “Familiare” is based on the penultimate version of the 1100 dynasty, the “D” series which… Read More Enough space: 1966 Fiat 1100D Familiare
That’s not actually usual to find a car with such ourageous style in a paddock but actually Lancia built also a prototype racer based on this strange Zagato creation so, if you know some italian cars history, you won’t be astonished to see on of these around a track. This particular car (1 0f 25… Read More Outrageous racer: 1965 Lancia Flavia Sport by Zagato
No papers, no engine, no build year: these are the first things to deal with if you are going to buy this car which needs much more than an engine and a transmission. Indeed the “1966” put in the title is just a guess: the seller didn’t tell about it nor we could know it… Read More More than bravery: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2500 3C Convertibile by Touring
More than a proper coupé this Granluce (something like “great light”) is basically a two door sedan: actually back in the early fifties this was the cutting edge Fiat model just after, of course, the 8V. And few knows that this car was originally designed to be pushed by the famous 8V Fiat engine, mostly because… Read More Panoramic view: 1954 Fiat 1900 “Granluce” Coupé
