This 1966 GTV looks a nice car and it is priced more than fairly, so the point is: is it as good as it looks, or it’s just a six footer car? The good is that the car looks correct about most of its parts: grille, rims, hubcaps, lights and many other bits are right for… Read More From Texas to the sea: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
The 124 Sport Spider was, without any doubt, one of the best cars produced by Fiat (when it was able to make something more than utility cars) and, nonetheless, one of the most beautiful.

This Vignale coachbuilt Lancia has not the exotic look of the same car bodied by Pininfarina or of the convertible made by vignale as well, but still it’s a rare and classy coupé. 481 of these cars were made with the same care given to build cars much more expensive than this, and today very few… Read More Rare coachbuild: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso by Vignale

On the other hand the higher price resulted in… Read More More than a Fiat: 1963 Moretti 750 Spider
Of course “sixer” is not related to the car condition (as far as we can see9 but to the V6 engine of this elegant Flaminia Coupé. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t specify if this was originally a 3b (three carburetors) car, but there are many possibilities that, being a 2nd series car, this is still a… Read More Silver sixer: 1963 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by pininfarina
This car wanted to be the anti-Fiat 500, unfortunately it was produced too late so it lost the war with the more famous Italian competitor. Nonetheless it was sold in good numbers: when it was exhibited for the first time this little and cute car had more than 20,000 reservations which was a successful debut… Read More Two wheels more: 1960 ACMA Vespa 400
Lately we’ve seen a good number of these 6C on ebay, and basically they come all from England or from Russia like this last one. It’s a 1947 6c bodied by Touring so that’s a quite valuable piece for the Alfa collector; clearly the car has been restored some time ago, we believe this should… Read More Startin’ high: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6c 2500 by Touring
