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
And here, from the magnificent era of great coachbuilders, comes another specimen that we could define as more unique than rare. It is one of the early works of Alfredo Vignale, who had opened his body shop only two years earlier, in 1948, and like many unique or very limited series cars built at the… Read More Green and cream: 1950 Fiat 1400 Cabriolet by Vignale
Well, yes, we are faced with a rare car not so much for the model itself (although it is quite rare as only about 2,200 units were produced), but for its condition. In the last ten years, many specimens in these conditions have been unearthed and restored. So, if you don’t have $150,000 at once… Read More Rare find: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider by Touring
If you think you’ve already seen this car, you’re right: you probably saw it on Classic Virus earlier this year, but we felt it was necessary to republish it as there are now more photos and more information. First of all, it should be mentioned that this car belonged to a single family of noble… Read More Green orchid/2: 1950 Fiat 1400 Orchidea by Vignale
This car still retains its original ‘Roma’ black license plate, so it is highly plausible that it has lived in the Eternal City from when it was new. Therefore, it has witnessed everything: if we want to use definitions linked to the cinema (Rome has been one of the main centers of world film production… Read More La dolce vita: 1951 Fiat 1400 Coupé by Farina
We are familiar with this car, which also has a sister in the USA with nearly identical features, except for the color and some subtle differences in the shape, which make this last one more slick. While the American sister appeared on an eBay auction about ten years ago and has since been restored and… Read More One of two: 1952 Fiat 1100E Coupé by Vignale
