Scioneri was a coachbuilder who mostly focused his production on little Fiat’s, mostly road cars. Although he had a little shop, he often worked with great designers like Michelotti, who designed this car. It’s clear that these cars were built for family men who wanted a Coupé to use it as commuter and carry their family around as… Read More Rising gold: 1966 Fiat 1500 “Sportinia” by Scioneri
Moretti was an historic brand of the coachbuilt cars world but, unfortunately, like its competitors it began to have financial problems at the end of the sixties: the great coachbuilder era was going to quit and, with the exception of Pininfarina and Ghia, most coachbuilders must shrink their dreams of glory and take care of… Read More Dino’s daughter: 1968 Moretti Sportiva
What we have here is a second series Fiat 1100-103, called “E”: the car is in the U.S.A. but it seems to be a fresh import from its motherland, Italy. The car looks like it benefitted from a recent restoration, although some details could have been done better. The body looks straight with a very… Read More Black with books: 1957 Fiat 1100 E
We have seen many ads of Innocenti Spider for sale during the years, but this is the very first time we stumble across a Coupé. We don’t know the production numbers of this car but it’s easy to suppose that very few were built, and even less have survived so far. This cars is based… Read More Hen’s tooth: 1970 Innocenti 950 Coupé

Despite from what is generally known, this car and its engine were not built by Ferrari but by Fiat, toghether with Bertone coachworks. Even though, to be more precise, the V6 engine was designed by Ferrari which developed a road version of the unit installed on their beautiful Sport Prototype cars. An affordable engine with a… Read More Ferrari undercover: 1970 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé
Actually, this car needs much more than some cans of fresh paint: seats are missing too. However, with a lot of patience it could be a nice challenge. The seller says that the car is basically solid, at least the body and the floors are, but there is rust on the door sills (as usual). The… Read More Some paint needed: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile

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
