Indeed, the seller says that this special Aurelia built 63 years ago by Stabilimenti Farina (“Pinin” Farina’s brother) is the only one in the US. Other three coupé and one convertible cars like this are known to exsist. This car has an aluminium body with the exception of the doors and outer rockers: that’s good… Read More One in the hemisphere: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupé by Farina
This Abarth 595 (not properly called Fiat as they were built by Abarth) is said to be an original car with a racing past. It wears the chassis number 669510/01284. We never saw a 595 with a two-tone paint but Abarth was more an artisan than a builder so some production variations must be considered.… Read More Modified original: 1964 Abarth 595 D
This car is a rare 2800 tri-power (less than 1,000 made) Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina and it will be more and more appreciated in the next future. However, before that time, it needs much work, even to make the engine run again. Indeed the seller says that the engine has serious issues like some water… Read More Tri-power, six cylinders: 1964 Lancia Flaminia 2800 Coupé by Pininfarima
Here it is the first car designed entirely by the “wizard” Giotto Bizzarrini: it is a four seats, two door coupè called GT 300 as it is one of the early car produced: after few months its name will be changed in “IR 300”. We all know that these car are easy to restore: however,… Read More Fast in four: 1962 Iso Rivolta GT 300
Another coachbuilt car this week; however this time it’s not s car simply based on a Fiat chassis but on a tubolar frame with a skin designed and realized by one of the greatest artisans of metal, Bernardo Fissore. This is not a Fiat but a real O.S.C.A., the company founded by Maserati brothers after… Read More Lemon special: 1961 O.S.C.A. 1600 GT by Fissore
This Sebring looks in very original condition with one, not minor, exception. The seller is quite specialized in finding europen cars which are in need of something (and sometimes everything) and this car is coherent with such tendency. The car looks indeed in a very acceptable conditions; it has a beautiful color (maybe “Rosso Cordoba”)… Read More Otherwise original: 1964 Maserati Sebring
This is one of the 235 Bora 4.9 made and, needless to say, it needs a lot of work to shine again. At fist glance it looks like it caught fire sometime in the past but the seller doesnt’ say anything about it. More probably this is the result of a stalled restoration project like… Read More Dropping wind: 1975 Maserati Bora 4.9
The seller says that this car was made in 1954 but actually it was built ten years later, as in 1954 there wasn’t any Fiat 1600S nor a Fiat d.o.h.c. engine: we suppose that it’s simply a misprint. However, this car is a real Fiat 1600S OSCA dressed by Savio, a well known coachbuilder born… Read More Razor-sharp edge: 1964 Fiat 1600S O.S.C.A. by Savio
Including these two cars we suppose to be the only one ever to have posted four OSI 20M TS, an oddball italian car based on the Ford Taunus. Other cars published could be found below the article, in the “related” section. The seller says that both cars were first registered in december 1967: one seems… Read More 20M stash: two 1967 OSI 20M TS Coupé
Few words by the seller for describing this car (chassis #2890) which looks in almost desperate conditions. Indeed, if the body of this car wouldn’t be made in aluminium, at this point we would see just a pile of rust. But, as we all know, aluminium doesn’t rust but the steel floors do: it could… Read More Clown face: 1959 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
