How many of these wagons have you seen live or for sale in recent years? I’ll tell you: none, because this is an extremely rare car. It is in fact a special body made by Monterosa, a bodyshop very active in the first decade after WWII which was working in particular on Fiat. In fact, we… Read More Special wagon: 1951 Fiat 1100 E wagon by Monterosa
The car here is a Giulia TI and so far nothing extraordinary, the relevant thing is that this car has been parked for forty years in a garage. In fact, the car has a nice patina: it is not rust or broken glass but the real patina of time (as well as a lot of… Read More Parking patina: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI
Here we go again: this is the first time ever that we see this car but, more than anything else, it is the first time we know of its existence. Unfortunately, although we are passionate about classic cars, we can’t know everything. This car is one of the many daughters of Argentina’s post war automotive industry,… Read More From darkness/2: 1974 Fiat 600 Varela Berlineta
The seller – and owner – of this Alfa Romeo GTV is a known Alfabb.com member other than being the owner of several Alfa, so be sure that he knows what he has done on this car. Indeed this car has been fully restored after a long process detailed here and you can see that everything… Read More Proper restoration: 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV
This early 2600 Sprint is a barn find which, as you easily can see, needs a total restoration, however the seller says that, despite its look, the car is solid underneath. Floors are indeed the are which mostly worries every guy which has to decide if joining a restoration trip or search for another car,… Read More Restoration package: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
Italia 2000’s were not produced according to the Vignale body number sequence but, as far as we know, we suppose that this car was built in 1960: at least three were the production years of this special car so the margin of error is low anyway. Whoever needs more info about these cars can check Adrian… Read More #73: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale
Let’s end this “Abarth week” with a little princess: a rare Record Monza. Rare not just because it’s rare in itself, but because this particular car is one of the very few cars still pushed by the original twin cam engine. The little 750 twin cam (“Bialbero”) was indeed an high powered (in a relative… Read More Yellow bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Record Monza
The rarest version of the Fiat 500 was only painted in grey with large red side stripes: that’s the “Sport” model made to push the sales of the Fiat 500 which, oddly, didn’t go well up to the early sixties. This is the third 500 Sport published here and we guess that the actual population… Read More Even rarer: 1959 Fiat 500 N Sport “Tetto rigido”
This Appia Berlina has the same color of an american whisky but it’s dry like a scottish one: whatever it is lime, don’t even think to restore it. First of all because doing a proper restoration will cost you twenty times the asking price, so that means that at he end of the journey you… Read More Dry whisky: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina
Ultra rare indeed. That’s the first time we see one for sale and we actually can’t imagine when we will see another one for sale in the next years. Why? Because that’s one of the very rare Abarth 595 with a steel roof (no ragtop then) which, other than that, has also a fiberglass aerodynamic… Read More Ultra rare: 1964 Abarth 595/105 D “Tetto chiuso”
