A necessary (but not sufficient) requirement for a car to be admitted to the modern edition of the Mille Miglia is that the car was built by 1957, the year in which the last edition of the legendary race took place. However, every year (except 2020 and the current year, for reasons we know well)… Read More Mille Miglia ticket: 1955 Fiat 600
Indeed, this is the second specimen ever seen by us of this special, and very rare, Fiat 600: it is in fact a four-door version built by Francis Lombardi coachworks. At the time it cost about 30% more than the standard version, a cost imposed by the complex processing of the body to allow the… Read More The second one: 1956 Fiat 600 Lucciola by Francis Lombardi
GT Juniors to be restored are increasingly rare. And when they are found, they now have prices that until ten years ago they asked for a car in almost perfect condition. We could say, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, That’s the market, baby. The market! And there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing! So when… Read More Big heart: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
We have published some Fiat 600s built by Viotti, both in Coupé and Granluce versions, but it is the first time that we have had a green one. Christophe, the owner of this beautiful car, reported the ad to us and we did not miss the opportunity to comment on it. The photos available to… Read More Cute green: 1956 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
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
