In that period between the twenties and the sixties there was an area, bounded on the west by Turin and on the east by Milan, within which the magic of cars happened. This Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “very” special is the testimony of that magic and, if you are still wary, look in Google for… Read More Design daughter: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport by Pininfarina
In the period from the early 70s to the early 80s, when the twenty-first century began to be seen at the horizon, the world of commercial and industrial design was driven to seek new forms and interpretations of everyday and non-everyday objects. Obviously the automotive world was not impervious to these trends, and as had… Read More The future has passed: 1975 Fiat 850 T by Bertone
Once again we did not know the Baldi coachworks that transformed a normal Fiat 500L into a “Spiaggina” version. Let’s be honest: the car is very particular but, according to the “classic” aesthetic standards, the result certainly does not seem a masterpiece of style: but certainly the aspect is what can be called “unmistakable” as… Read More Beach Tank: 1974 Fiat 500L “Tilly” by Baldi
This Sprint 2600 seems to have arrived in Canada after having been “resident” for some years in Texas: if it comes to the western part of this last state, it follows that the car must be quite dry. Dust aside, the paint seems to be the original one and, as we have read, the color… Read More Montreal, Texas: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
Just a few days ago we published an article on three Apollos that will be auctioned next August, but this one (chassis #1060) is not in concours conditions and is for sale. The seller says that the engine is the original Buick 300 cubic inch, 250 HP, 330 lbs of torque, it turns but it… Read More Chariot of Gods: 1965 Apollo 5000 GT Coupé
Nope, we could not absolutely miss the opportunity to publish this object which is said to be, no less, the original steering wheel mounted on the Ferrari 250 GTO chassis #3851GT, a car belonged for 45 years to the italian Fabrizio Violati, then sold by his heirs after his death. Clearly a steering wheel in… Read More Check if it fits: 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO steering wheel
No, I didn’t go crazy for publishing this car, rather I’m nostalgic because as a child I was often in the passenger seat of a car like this (a white one, though). The car in question was most likely imported from Italy and placed before being put back on sale. It looks very nice although… Read More Red shift: 1985 Innocenti Mini De Tomaso Turbo
This Giulietta Sprint has been on sale for quite a few days and is observed by many people, yet it is still there. We will not in fact comment on the model that everyone knows, rather there are considerations to make. In fact, this car raises some questions that many observers on eBay will have… Read More Chip blue: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
Few Mangusta were produced – about 400 – and obviously a lot less survive: this is a representative of those survived, unknown until today. Unknown since it seems that this de Tomaso has been locked in a garage since 1976, obviously the only reason that comes to mind is that at the time the car… Read More Rest in pieces/3: 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta
OSA was the acronym of Officina Specializzata Automobili, a workshop in Naples (Italy) specialized in tuning standard cars, during the 50s and 60s. This workshop was founded by Agostino Accadia who, besides being a mechanic, was also a car driver and one of the cars he drove at the Mille Miglia was a boat based… Read More Approved by the son: 1955 Lancia Aprilia “Mille Miglia” Barchetta by OSA (recreation)
