Update, october 19 One day has been way enough to sell this car. That’s what we call “a quick sale”. October 18 Apart from GTA’s, the GTV is the rarest model of the Giulia Sprint GT breed: they made it for only two years (’66 and ’67) and in less units than the first series… Read More Grey calls red: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
To the collective imagination the name “Aurelia” means sport, coupè, spider or Touring. But, before all these models, there was an Aurelia built for executives or affluent family men. Indeed this is a four door, six seats fastback pushed by the Lancia V6, the first V6 engine ever made, designed by engineer Francesco De Virgilio. Few,… Read More Family man’s V6: 1956 Lancia Aurelia B12
Update, october 16 Nicola Becherini, grandson of Nicola Becherini (the builder of this car) contacted us giving us more fresh info. First, he says that the body was not crafted by Vignale but by Carrozzeria Fratelli Neri (Neri brothers coachworks) of Tivoli, Rome. He also says that that’s pretty sure that the engine belonged to… Read More One of one: 1949 Becherini Spider by Neri
Update, October 11: This car is now for sale here in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy, at €34,000 (today $46,000). The seller says that the engine is a type AB204 so it should be correct for this car. No more smell of bargain. July 9 The seller doesn’t say much about this car which seems, at least from… Read More Smell of bargain: 1968 Abarth OT 1300 Coupé
In ancient roman latin language “Vires acquirit eundo” (Virgilio, Eneide, IV, 175) means something like “It gains strength by going”. This phrase was stamped on the metal plate put on the dashboard of this car (and often on Stanguellini cars), just in front of the driver. The same plate it’s still clearly visible on the dashboard… Read More Vires acquirit eundo: 1948 Stanguellini-Fiat 1100 by Bertone
Update, October 8: Almost a record sale for this car which seems to have been sold in one day. We have published another 1500 Ghia for sale here: in that case the car was in beautiful shape although it missed the front badge; in this case the car is in worse conditions but it has a… Read More Tired lady: 1964 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
Update, October 8: It seems that the car has been sold. It was quick but we’re not surprised at all. Flaminia week, definitely. We don’t like to publish two (almost) identical cars so close but this is too tasty to let it go. This Gunmetal (it should be “Grigio Newmarket”) 2.5 Coupè looks really good… Read More Gunmetal Style: 1967 Lancia Flaminia 2.5 GT Coupé by Touring
This Flaminia Coupé is a GTL model, it has an higher roof than the GT but it is a proper 2+2 and, last but not least, only 303 were made according to Touring Superleggera registry. However, this car is less valued than the GT model, and that’s why it’s generally worth the half. This particular… Read More Oily but solid: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2.8 GTL Coupé by Touring
This 2nd series Fiat 600 still retains the suicide doors but, differently from european cars, has big headlights: it should be an official import car as italian cars had smaller headlights than those. The seller says that he used it to run smo SCCA events just for fun after being restored in Seattle. The interior… Read More Hawaiian green: 1958 Fiat 600
Update, September 27: It seems that the car has been sold. Once we wrote that the classic car world never gets you bored as very often your certainties are questioned: this is another example. Actually this car was built by a gentleman driver, Luciano De Luca, puttin’ toghether a Fiat 509 chassis with a narrow… Read More The experiment: 1949 Fiat/Lancia Barchetta by De Luca
