If our aim is to report the most particular classic cars, available on the market at a given moment, we certainly could not avoid reporting this prototype. This is not a prototype of a mass-produced car (which, however, would have some importance), but the prototype of a Rally legend, the Lancia 037, the last rear-wheel… Read More SE 037-001: 1980 Lancia 037 prototype
Twin cam engine, aluminum body, covered headlights, perspex windows and double bubble roof: this information is already enough – for an enthusiast – to identify an Italian sports car built in the 1950s or 1960s. In the specific case it is a rare OSCA 1600 GT, one of the 98 produced by the Maserati brothers… Read More White racer: 1962 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
Built in May 1955, this is one of the oldest Giulietta Sprints on the road today – basically nothing changes compared to those built in 56 or 57 but we all know that, for a collector, the year is very important. We actually saw an older one, even built in 1954, it was in poor… Read More #349: 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Many do not know that, in addition to the Sportiva based on Fiat 850, Moretti also produced two subsequent versions, the S2 and the S4: we did not even know of the latter’s existence. In fact, the seller says that according to him this is a rare car: according to us it is very rare… Read More Almost Sportiva: 1969 Moretti 850 Special S4
This rare Appia Sport is said to be available to the public for the first time after 40 years during which it was owned by only one person. This person is (or was, we did not understand) a producer known in the studio environment, Arthur Vitarelli, it seems that among his productions there were titles… Read More Producer’s car: 1963 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
From Portugal comes this Abarth Scorpione which is a rare car in itself, plus this seems to be the S version, so produced in a few dozen units. We do not know, apart from the difference in power, the details that differentiate the “normal” version (if normal can be defined) from the S version, we… Read More Venomous: 1971 Abarth Scorpione 1300 S
A Fiat 1100B Cabriolet is a rare car even in Italy, let alone in the USA, especially if it has never been restored and still has its original black plate. If we were to imagine when this car ended up in California, we could think of the 70s when a large number of Italian cars… Read More From VI to L.A: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet
Look, a white Alfa Romeo repainted in red: that’s strange, isn’t it? Sarcasm aside, this has been the fate of most Italian classic cars over the decades. As is evident from the Italian newspaper clipping dated 1964, the reality is that in those years only 5% of the cars registered in Italy were red (a… Read More Red over white: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
The seller of this 2000 Spider – without an engine – says this auction is not about a car in the strict sense but a spare parts stash. From a certain point of view we agree: until a few years ago, let’s say up to about ten years ago, probably all these spare parts had… Read More Parts car, perhaps: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
The seller of this rare Ghia 1500 GT says that 846 cars like this have been built, and that currently 30 survive: we are not sure about this last figure, however we are still talking about a very rare car. Over the years we have seen several 1500 GTs for sale (both in photos and… Read More Golden ticket: 1964 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Ghia
