Hermosa Beach is the city where this car spent most of its life: indeed this 2000 Spider (chassis 102.04.00358) looks very dry and preserved. It is said that its last run was in 1977. Of course 55 years are not few for whatever car, so now this elegant spider needs a total restoration; however there… Read More Muy Hermosa: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
It’s the first time we see a Giulia Spider with wire wheels: ok we don’t like it much but it’s for sure a curious spotting. Indeed back then Borrani used to sell wire wheels kit for Alfa Romeo: of course there were some modifications to do on the wheels hubs but for sure such modifications are… Read More Never with wires: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
We know these cars well, and just for this reason there are some considerations which are a must before thinking to buy a car like this one painted in Le Mans Blue. First of all, Montreal’s are fetching very good money these days, especially in the U.S. where they we not officially imported when new… Read More Hard to evaluate: 1971 Alfa Romeo Montreal
This car is speculated to be one of ten existing Coupé by Touring built with a right hand drive, so it’s very interesting for the Commonwealth collectors or Lancia enthusiasts. Of course there is a lot of work to do here: every part of the car suffers of years of corrosion and the complex chassis-body assembly… Read More The right side: 1963 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Coupé by Touring
For the uninitiated, “Amica” means a female friend in italian language: this is not human but at little cabriolet built in around 300 specimens from SIATA, soon after the WWII. This car (chassis #2) is of course a project but the good is, as the seller says, that the 600 c.c., inline-four engine, fed by a… Read More Needy friend: 1950 Siata Amica 50 Cabriolet
If what the seller says is true, this car could be the one and only Fiat 1500 Ghia on this world driven by the same owner from new. By the way this car has a curious story: the seller says that he bought it from Incar, the Fiat agent of Rhodesia (the south-african country now… Read More One owner only: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
1961 was the first production year of the Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina: in that year the only available engine was the 2500 c.c. unit fed by a single carburetor. This particular car, although publicized as a 1966 car, was produced in 1961 (the original black plate can’t lie). There is no description in the ad… Read More Dusty sleeper: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Coupé by Pininfarina
Ok that’s the first time that we realize that Viotti made a Giardinetta coachbuild also on the Lancia Appia platform. Indeed we wrongly believed that Viotti has built Giardinetta’s (Viotti’s trade mark for the station wagon bodies) only on Fiat platforms but just for this reason we have a further proof that in the classic cars… Read More New entry: 1960 Lancia Appia Giardinetta by Viotti
Of course we all know that cars like a Dino 196S barchetta are unaffordable unless you are some kind of tycoon. Also this car is not cheap but at least there are much more people who could reach it. This is a replica built, as the seller says, 20 years ago by an italian coachbuilder (we… Read More Not real but a good deal: 1959 Dino 196S tribute car
A pre-war car must have something really special to catch our attention and this Lancia for sure has it.
