Two cars that are part of a single batch of about 300 specimens, on sale simultaneously after more than sixty years are a curious… Read More Two of few: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera by Boano
“They are still out there,” a user of a forum to which I was subscribed (and occasionally I still attend) used to say. He said it ten years ago but it is clear that that statement is still valid. The proof is this 250 GTE first series found in exceptional conditions maintained by the last… Read More Patina monster/5: 1961 Ferrari 250 GTE
It is rare to find one of these Urraco P200 for sale and not only because it is a Lamborghini: only 66 were built.

The fact that… Read More Half job: 1958 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
The great diversity of special cars built in the 1950s in Italy, using Fiat 1100 chassis and engines, is well represented by this small berlinetta. Here too we have a chassis derived from the Fiat 1100-103 TV and also its engine which, of course, has been further elaborated with respect to the Fiat specifications: sometimes… Read More Rare goods: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Vignale
When, in the world of classic cars, it is said “it is original only once”, it is not just the fact that it left the factory and is no longer modified. That saying also means that, as people get to grips with it, some details – related to the finishing of one part or the… Read More HIR 993: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring
Many of the De Tomaso Pantera that you find for sale are the base model which in the USA was called “L”, then there is also the GTS model like this one, much rarer and much more expensive than the first.

When it came out of the body shop on the outskirts of Milan, this Flaminia built by Touring had the typical colors for this model: Lancia blue on the outside and parchment-colored leather on the inside.
