Strange to say but after ten years of mining everything that was even barely restorable, something still pops up and attracts a lot of the attention of the miners. This is the turn of a Giulietta SS – one of the blue chips in the classic car market – on which the 50% of the… Read More Grey shark: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
In relation to nuclear explosions and other large bombs, ground zero (also called surface zero) is the point on the Earth’s surface closest to a detonation: this definition is plausibly associated with this Spider Veloce 750 of which very little remains. Well, at least the bodywork is visible in all its nakedness and, let’s face… Read More Ground zero: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
We don’t know when this car was built, we don’t know by whom it was built: absolutely not bad as a premise. Unfortunately the seller, or at least the description of the car that he reported in the ad, is not very helpful in identifying the origin of this Fiat 600 with this body so… Read More Mysterious and open: 1956 Fiat 600
It is almost paradoxical that, in the year in which bats are at the lowest of their popularity, a lot of noise is generated by the sale of three very famous Alfa Romeos (but not as famous as you might imagine) called BAT, an acronym in Italian for “Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica” (Technical Aerodynamic Sedan). Long… Read More Legendary triptych: Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 5, 7, 9d to auction
Of all the production relating to the 105 Alfa Romeo series, there are two highly sought after models: the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and the 1750 GT Veloce first series, exactly like the one in bad condition you see here. The seller says that this model – which has a beautiful combination of Dutch Blue… Read More First series: 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
In 1984, as a car enthusiast kid, my pantheon of supercars was obviously made up of Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 288 GTO. However, just one step below, there was a sedan. The sedan in question was the Maserati Quattroporte, probably because of its elegant but muscular lines at the same time: even… Read More V8 living room: 1984 Maserati Quattroporte 4.9
If you intend to buy a car to be restored, buy one that has at least the upper parts of the bodywork in good condition: it is advice given to you by someone who has paid (in terms of time, money and headache) the consequences of a different choice. Indeed, it is one thing to… Read More Early bird: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
As with all rules, exceptions are occasionally found, and this also applies to classic cars: in this case it was the turn of a GT Junior Zagato. The exception, in this case, concerns the appearance of the car characterized by widened fenders and, consequently, by wheels and tires large enough to fill the new spaces… Read More Wide hips: 1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
Over the past few decades, a car built on a versatile platform was subject to many variations, limited only by the imagination of the designers. Even the Fiat 500, in its “D” version, had its own interpretations and among these was that of the NSU through the vision of the Weinsberg workshops: two versions were… Read More The other side: 1962 NSU/Fiat 500 Coupé by Weinsberg
We don’t often publish cars like this one, not because it doesn’t deserve it, but because they are very rare. In fact, all Flaminia Convertibles are rare, but in the 2.8-liter version, only 180 were built and who knows how many of them survive to this day. probably, in percentage terms, much more than the… Read More Accessible rarity: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Convertible 2.8 by Touring
