This rare Giulia by Colli is said to have been sold new to Autostrade Concessionaria S.p.A company which, back then, was the company which managed the highway network in Italy.

In 1971, the building year of this car, Vignale coachworks was yet sold to Alejandro De Tomaso and Alfredo Vignale was yet passed away two years before because of a car crash. So, this car is one of the last representative of the glorious firm, which definitely closed its doors in 1973, when it was… Read More Late job: 1971 Fiat 124 S Coupé by Vignale
The seller must be a Lancia Appia nut, however he’s now oriented in parting with his two Appia Convertibile: a 1959 without title and a 1961 which is more complete than the other one. Actually, as the seller says, you can make only one car from these two as one lacks of too many parts,… Read More Two is better than one: 1959/61 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Update, october 24: One day only and the car is gone. October 24 We believed to have found a very good priced Giulia SS here, but we were wrong. This 1964 Giulia SS looks good, for sure not a concours car but for sure very far to seem in need of a urgent restoration as… Read More Cheaper is harder: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale

This particular car is very nicely… Read More Early wagon: 1952 Fiat 500C “Belvedere”
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
