Indeed, 1500 cc might not seem like a large engine displacement, but considering that the common Italian car at the time had an engine of 875 cc, this was a car with a six-cylinder engine and almost double the displacement: not as expensive as an Alfa Romeo, but certainly not a car for everyone. Moreover,… Read More Big engine: 1950 Fiat 1500E “Vittoria” by Balbo
The Abarth 1300 SS Scorpione is a rare and remarkable example of Abarth’s engineering prowess. Introduced in 1970, this model was among the last cars independently developed by Abarth before the brand was acquired by Fiat. The Scorpione features a modified Fiat 124 engine, enlarged to 1280cc, delivering around 100 horsepower, which, combined with its… Read More Yellow scorpion: 1969 Abarth Scorpione SS
And here is a GT Veloce, the most sought-after model of the Giulia GT series (after the GTA, of course) in Biancospino color. But contrary to its name, this car is anything but fast. In fact, we would say that this car doesn’t run at all, as it is photographed on a tow truck. It… Read More Static quadrifoglio: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Let’s continue with Alfa Romeos in need of restoration, this time with a spider, specifically a 1965 Giulia, which is the last series of its kind, featuring the three-spoke steering wheel and SS instruments, although it still lacks front disc brakes. From the photos posted in the ad, it is clear that the car was… Read More Black and white: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
This Fulvia Sport built by Zagato is part of a batch of cars constructed entirely in aluminum in 1967. Subsequently, due to the construction costs, Zagato began building them in steel. The alloy used was called “Peralluman” (the same used for the body of the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, although the latter was made by… Read More Blue aluminium: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
Rarely does “small” equate to “frightening,” but in this case, we feel an exception is warranted. This 1974 Innocenti Mini, one of those produced by Innocenti (the same company that made the Lambretta scooter, to be clear) under license from Morris, has undergone a heart transplant that transformed it in the best imaginable way: instead… Read More White lightning: 1974 Innocenti Mini “Honda”
For classic car aficionados, the 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Spider represents a blend of Italian artistry and Ferrari engineering. This particular model is a rare survivor, off the road since 1990. The Fiat Dino was born from a collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari, driven by the need to homologate Ferrari’s V6 engine for Formula 2… Read More Preservation class: 1967 Fiat Dino Spider 2000
This Lancia Aurelia B53 has a special coupé body built on commission by Alemanno, a historic Turin company that many of you have likely heard of at least once. It is practically impossible to know for certain how many similar cars were built, and when we say “similar,” we do not mean “identical” because, in… Read More Two tone special: 1952 Lancia Aurelia B53 Coupé By Allemano
There are cars that, for us, are as hot as these summer days, not because they are particularly valuable or beautiful but because they are rare gems, in this case, probably unique. This is a “Familiare” version (if you prefer, call it a station wagon or estate) built by the Fissore coachbuilder in Turin on… Read More Green advertiser: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 “Assistenza Michelin” by Fissore
