Unlike other classic cars, for the Spider Alfa Romeo first series, the rule applies that the latest model produced is the one that is worth more. In our case the latest model is also the most powerful, i.e. the one equipped with the DOHC engine with a displacement of 1750 cc, universally appreciated above all… Read More White project: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider
The Fiat 850 platform has lent itself over the years to be used for the most diverse uses: van, ambulance, hearse, work vehicle, and also for very special uses like this one. It is not the first 850T that we have seen transformed in this way: in its golden years, Fiat commissioned these cars which… Read More Just one: 1968 Fiat 850T “Visitors” by OSI
There could well exist an automobile museum whose sole purpose would be to exhibit special models built on the basis of the Fiat 1100-103, both in standard and TV versions. Actually, all Italian (and not only) coachbuilders have practiced at least once in building a special bodywork on the Fiat 1100-103 chassis, both as an… Read More Exercise in style: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Monterosa
This stunning coupé built on the chassis of a 1900 SS is said to be the car presented at the 1956 Geneva Motor Show, and is one of two examples built. We have probably also seen the second specimen which, from what we remember, should be painted in a light gold colour, but we couldn’t… Read More Swiss blue: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 SS by Ghia Aigle
Everyone stop: we know very well that there is no chance that this bodywork was built in 1935, and in fact the seller explains it in great detail. This example was first registered in Como, Italy on 5 January 1935. Subsequently sold to Imperia, Italy, in 1937 it was owned by Count Carlo Bruzzo, a… Read More Oddball: 1935 Lancia Augusta
The beauty of classic cars is that they were often “reworked” to be adapted to the most diverse uses: from the plumber’s van to racing assistance, such as this Appia. Now, we don’t know if this particular car was actually born to be purchased and used by a racing team (in this case “Scuderia Morandi”),… Read More Trailer included: 1955 Lancia Appia Furgoncino
All Alfa Romeos built in the period just before or just after the Second World War are worthy of particular interest, but this one is a little more. The reason is simple: the seller claims that this car has only driven 6,000 kilometers (just under 4,000 miles) from new, which would be extraordinary. Indeed, at… Read More Brand new: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Berlina
Italy in 1939, except for some areas of the north-west, was a predominantly pre-industrial reality. Those who, at that time, could afford a fiat 1500 with a six-cylinder engine were few, let alone how many could afford a car like this. Indeed, we cannot know the price of the transformation from a standard 1500 to… Read More Affluent job: 1939 Fiat 1500B Cabriolet by Balbo
Stella Alpina literally means “Alpine Star”, but the name does not refer to an astronomical object but to a very rare flower that grows on alpine meadows. And this is the name that was used by the Monviso bodyshop (coincidentally, the name of a mountain in the Alpine chain) for this special car built on… Read More Brown flower: 1947 Fiat 1100B “Stella Alpina” by Monviso
This specimen belongs to the latest generation of the F12 series, whose production would end in 1983. That it is a late model can be seen from the greater presence of plastic compared to the previous series, especially in the passenger compartment whose design begins to “smell” of the 80s. In addition to this, it… Read More Farm worker: 1978 Alfa Romeo F12 Diesel
