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
Differently from the 750 series, it’s harder to distinguish a normal Giulia Sprint from a Veloce. The 750 was immediatly recognizable from the Perspex windows: it indeed had a more aggressive and racing-oriented look. The 101 is more a grand tourer, even if with the heart of a proper Alfa. The seller doesn’t specify if… Read More A different heart: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Veloce
Update, March 24 The has been put again for sale, we suppose by the same seller, at £21,000 (today $35,000) here in Kampenhout, Belgium. This 2600 spider is said to be a barn find: that barn should have been very wet as this car has serious rust issues all over the body. There is one only photo of the… Read More Rust is the word: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider by Touring
This 1957 Giardinetta Viotti “Sleeping” is basically the italian, small equivalent of the american Chevy Nomad, as a two door station wagon. Back then, this car had quite a good selling success as it was the ideal car for the big families where the baby-boomers were growing. However, it was not a cheap car: it… Read More Italian nomad: 1957 Fiat Giardinetta “Sleeping” by Viotti
This series 750 Spider Veloce (SWB) is clearly a former US car which still has the DOT Lucas rear lights and english clocks on the dashboard. It still holds a strange license plate that we’ve never seen before. It basically seems a good driver which could be enjoyed as is; however we’ve some experience with… Read More La Dolce Vita: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
With this car, five are the OSI 20M published by us: almost a record as probably only an handful of these cars are still alive. Everytime we see an OSI, we think that this car has a huge presence (the car is 4.6 meters long and 1.8 wide) and looks more expensive than it really… Read More Million dollar face: 1968 OSI 20M TS Coupé
Yes, cheaper is harder, at least to find a 1600 HF like this one. Basically this is a “Fanalone” without big headlights but with the same engine and interiors. Apart from the stunning color – a sort of metallic bronze – the car looks ultra clean, detailed and with every part in its place. The… Read More Cheaper is harder/2: 1972 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF 1600
The seller must be a sort of Abarth nut: not only this car is for sale but other two cars. One of these cars is said to be a former Briggs Cunningham Team car, painted in a stunning white with black stripes. However, all these cars are in a stunning, restored conditions like this silver… Read More Spring sale: 1959 Abarth 750 GT Record Monza Bialbero by Zagato
This 1500S Cabrio project has travelled half of the world: the seller says that, back in ’63, it was bought new by the owner in Netherlands which took the car to NY and then, in mid ’70’s, moved back to Netherlands bringing again the car with him. It is a project car with a lot… Read More Globetrotter: 1963 Fiat 1500S OSCA Cabriolet
