Indeed who uses to join the historic race season is now going to prepare his car as the season usually begin now. This Giulia Spider Veloce seems ready to be used for such purpose. The seller sats that this car is a real Veloce sold new in Germany and then transformed ina FIA approved racer: it… Read More Racing season’s approaching: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce “Corsa”
We don’t have a trustworthy source to confirm that, but the seller says that only 280 of these cars were made and, as we suppose that the seller has done his homework, we don’t have any reason to doubt about that. With this car Michelotti gave a further proof of his genius. This little spider was… Read More That aggressive face: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
That’s the very first time that we know of an american racing special powered by an italian engine: in the past many used to build cars with the opposite formula: american engines had more power while being cheap to buy and to be serviced and often they were mated to tiny italian bodies and frames. This… Read More Pebble Beach racer: 1955 Swartley O.S.C.A. Special
Mr. Rapley confirms his skills in finding Zagato cars. What we have here is a double sale: a 750 Double Bubble and a (stock) Fiat 600 Multipla. The Zagato needs everything: no engine or gearbox (even if the seller provides them apart, and even more than one), floors have to be rebuilt and, substantially, a… Read More Buncha Fiat 600: 1959 Abarth Zagato 750 and Fiat 600 Multipla
It’s crazy, it’s odd, it’s a Fiat hot rod. We could never imagine a transformation like this for a Fiat 600D but, like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to say, reality is way more bizarre than how fiction could ever be. The seller says that this car benefitted of a rotisserie restoration and only then four… Read More Euro trash-hot-rod: 1964 Fiat 600D
We know that such poetic verse could be a bit too stretched to be used for a car but, what we have realized in many years is that, even the “humblest” classic car could astonish you if it’s properly set up and if your mind is not biased by concepts like “value”. This Fiat 128 Sport Coupé… Read More The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: 1975 Fiat 128 Sport Coupé
We featured another Fiat OSCA 1600S Coupè (type 118b) last year: that was a beautiful car which needed nothing, and the asking price was a little more of the half of this one. We said that it is a rare car – 273 made as the seller says – but we didn’t believe that it… Read More Hot market: 1963 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé
This ’67 GT Veloce was probably born painted in “Faggio”, but the Texas sun made its job properly and now it looks basically “cooked”. It’s however an interesting project. It wears a set of BWA mag wheels and, despite few rust spot, it doesn’t seem sentenced to death by the metal cancer. On the contrary,… Read More Cooked to perfection: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Actually “few words” it’s an euphemism as the seller completely forgot to add a description of the car. But more than that, we suppose that the seller thought “car and photos speak by themselves” and we must say that he didn’t go so far from that. Indeed this is a 1600 c.c. car which is… Read More Few words, much car: 1973 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF 1600 By Zagato
Differently from what you could suppose, the Vespa 400 was built in France by ACMA (a Piaggio spin-off), because Piaggio wanted to avoid any commercial conflict with Fiat which, back then, was the incumbent little cars producer and the most powerful economic (and not only) institution in Italy. Jumping back to this car, the seller bought… Read More Four-wheeled scooter: 1961 Vespa 400S
