If, at the end of the 1960s, you had been Italian twenties, not necessarily rich, but at least wealthy, you probably would have asked your father for a car like this. And in fact the target of this car was precisely the kids who could afford a car with a sporty but not as expensive… Read More Red toy: 1969 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
It is not very difficult to find a Fiat 1500s Cabriolet for sale, however this particular example has very rare features. Let’s say to begin with that this is a restored specimen, and it also looks excellent even if the photos are not the best to judge a car (in reality, a car should never… Read More Top Hardtop: 1962 Fiat 1500S O.S.C.A. Cabriolet
Since we are talking about a rare car even in Europe (not to mention the USA), we can also forgive some defects which are however easily correctable. After all, this is a substantially original car that has had some “upgrades” over time, both due to the tastes of the previous owners and out of necessity:… Read More Jaguar badged: 1967 OSI TS 2300
For some years now, many collectors of the cars built in the Portello factory have also been interested in their commercial vehicles, certainly much rarer than their car cousins. We have indeed written several times about how much the models A 11 and F11, or A12 and F12 have been further re-evaluated and how their… Read More Call of duty: 1980 Alfa Romeo F12 Ambulance
All Italian classic car enthusiasts know that there is an underlying problem when it comes to Abarths based on mass-produced Fiat models. In fact, if we talk about an Abarth Record Monza or Bialbero, we know with certainty that at least the bodywork and the interiors are original as it would be uneconomical to reproduce… Read More Snappy red: 1967 Abarth OT 1000 Stradale
The period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s was perhaps the most glorious period for Alfa Romeo, both in terms of sales and sports victories. It is in fact in this decade that Alfa Romeo becomes closer to the “people”: we must never forget that the cars produced by Alfa were certainly not within everyone’s… Read More Green outside: 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
It is not new that the “special” edition Fiat 500 A and B are rare, and this is even more true when it comes to cars set up for work. Many coachbuilders have tried their hand at the construction of bespoke bodies on the frames of these cars that they bought directly from the factory,… Read More Working class: 1948 Fiat 500A “Furgoncino”
We know well that, unlike other markets such as the American one, European cars, especially Italian, did not offer many paid options in the 1950s and 1960s, which is why we were interested in this Flaminia. The first reason for our interest is certainly the state: the dealer says that this car is a survivor,… Read More Loaded: 1963 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pinnfarina
“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
When we first saw the ad about this car, its photos, and the asking price, it seemed to us that the seller was asking for a bit of a steep price, until we read more. In fact, the photos concern only one car, the 1750 GT Veloce first series from 1969, in a pine green… Read More Bulk sale: 1969 and 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
