This Opel 1900 GT is said to have been commissioned by a rich family to Virgilio Conrero, one of the most famous italian tuner of the three decades: from the fifties to the end of the seventies. This particular car, as the title says, has never been raced: it has been bought as a “toy”… Read More Racer but never raced: 1972 Opel GT 1900 “Conrero”
This long-owned Maserati Ghibli 4.7 has been in the same family since 1979 but used until 1980 when the previous owner, the second one, parked the car in his garage and never drove it anymore. That’s because the family priorities took place and even because, unfortunately, he passed away without seeing his beloved car restored.… Read More Survival: 1970 Maserati Ghibli 4.7
“Straightforward restoraton” are the words used by the seller to tag this car which has been clearly parked in some kind of shed many years ago and never used since. Unfortunately that shed, or barn, where the car was parked in was not properly sealed so the car suffers of a severe rust illness: of… Read More Pine green: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
Yes indeed these cars once were abandoned everywhere, including fields, just like this one that has still its body only because it’s made of aluminium. The car is sold with a bill of sale only and it’s easy to understand why: nobody provides you with a title in a field: jokes apart this is a… Read More Field find: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Convertible

There are quite a few Lancia Fulvia Zagato for sale around, but very few or almost none of them could boast this fantastic color combo. Of course we don’t expect that all of you would share with us the appreciation for these colors, but for sure we all agree with the fact that very few… Read More Blue calls red: 1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S Sport by Zagato
Although both the make and the model names could seem to come from the eastern Europe, this car was actually produced in Pavia, few kilometers south of Milano, Italy. It all began when Carlo Lavezzari, an italian enterpreneur, decided to build a microcar pushed by the same 125 c.c. engine of the Innocenti Lambretta: they… Read More Short wheel base: 1974 Lawil Varzina
The Samantha, based on the Fiat 125 chassis and engine, is one of the last creation of Vignale and, we think, one of the better ones. Even though it was based on a Fiat, this car was never sold by Fiat dealers and that’s probably why there aren’t many cars around. Moreover, a 1600 c.c.… Read More Twin cam blue: 1969 Fiat 125 S “Samantha” by Vignale
Balbo was one of those coachbuilders who operated in the shadow of famous brands like Pininfarina, Farina or Vignale, however he built beautiful cars, especially before the WWII. Indeed Balbo shut his doors in 1954 but he still had time to build beautiful post war cars like this “Trasformabile” built on the six-cylinder Fiat 1500… Read More Find another one: 1950 Fiat 1500 6C Trasformabile by Balbo
Finding a special Fiat coupé still in restorable conditions is now a very rare thing, that’s why finding a 1500 Coupé built by Alemano is an event by now.
