Take an Italian Gran Turismo coupe from the 1960s, reduce its dimensions by 25%, and you’ll get this car. There aren’t many of them around, both due to limited production and the fact that even fewer have made their way to us. In fact, we may have seen another one for sale only in the… Read More The odd one: 1962 Fiat-Giannini 600 by Scioneri
In the past, we had and restored a 1961 Italia 2000, so we can say we know this car inside out. Although, truth be told, the production was at such an artisanal level that finding two perfectly identical cars is not an easy task. Many differ in minor details, but unfortunately, in the past, this… Read More #27: 1959 Italia 2000 by Vignale
If you want to get an idea of what this car might have looked like in 1950, try searching for other foreign cars produced in the same year, and you will realize how advanced cars like this were in terms of design. Even now, this car shows its age, yet its proportions are still perfect… Read More One of very few: 1950 Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupé by Vignale
When Piero Dusio, the founder of Cisitalia, realized that profits were very slim, if not nonexistent, with the 202, he tried to leverage the Fiat platform to bring cost savings to production. However, even this did not work. In the post-war car market, the demand for luxury cars was very limited and already covered by… Read More History repeating: 1951 Cisitalia 303 DF
The base of this car is the Fiat 118 series (the one used for the 1500 and 1600 coupés, to be precise), but the bodywork is substantially different. As mentioned earlier, for this special spider, the chassis and engine of the 118 series were used, equipped with the twin-camshaft engine produced by Fiat but designed… Read More White scorpion: 1959 Abarth 1600 Spider by Allemano
This is a very rare car, yet we saw a similar one in person a few years ago and were fascinated by it. Firstly, the name: Cisitalia is a prestigious name in the world of classic cars, but this car is not part of those first models built entirely in the factory founded by Piero… Read More Little but special: 1954 Cisitalia 33DF Voloradente
This car is very rare, and we can imagine the surprise of the current owner when he found it abandoned in the corner of a warehouse in Italy. It’s one of the very few “Sabrina” models, built on a Fiat 600 Multipla base by Carrozzeria Fissore, one of the great Turin coachbuilders of the 1950s… Read More Rare find: 1963 Fiat 600 “Sabrina” by Fissore
The sleek lines of this Fiat Barchetta are very appealing but at the same time left us a bit puzzled: it seemed strange that the body was made in 1956, and indeed, that’s not the case. The seller mentions that this was initially a Barchetta built in 1956 on a Fiat 1100 base, but then… Read More Green team: 1956 Fiat 1100 Barchetta by Autotecnica del Lario
We have already featured some Abarth Scorpione, including the extremely rare SS version; however, it is always rare to come across one for sale. This is because not only today but also back then, it was an expensive car, probably one of the most expensive considering the price-to-weight ratio. It is indeed a small car,… Read More Signed berlinetta: 1970 Abarth Scorpione 1300 S
Felice Mario Boano, one of the most famous Italian coachbuilders of his time, was the first – while working at Ghia – to propose the ‘Spiaggina’ version based on Fiat utility vehicles. These special versions, without a roof and hood, were intended to be used as tenders for the wealthiest individuals of the time who… Read More Endless summer: 1963 Fiat 500 Elegance by Savio
