Ghia-Aigle was a subsidiary of the well known Ghia of Turin, Italy, which opened in Aigle (Switzerland) another shop in 1948. This became indipendent from Ghia in 1953 and then started to build car bodies under its own name. Many of such bodies were built over Alfa Romeo chassis for their wealthy customers, and basically… Read More A special one: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS by Ghia-Aigle
Most of the Craigslist ads published by private sellers are tipically very short, with few photos and missing a lot of details about the item for sale: the ad related to this Giulia Sprint GT is the exception to that rule. The seller has basically detailed everything about this car, so we’ll try so summarize… Read More Red bae: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
The Giulia Sprint GT was designed by Bertone in the coupé version, the GTC however, was given to Touring coachworks in order to make of it an open version. This operation wasn’t actually liked by many, maybe because this Giulia Sprint was felt as a sports car or, at least, as a fast tourer (as it… Read More Two without top: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC
This 2600 Sprint is speculated to have been tuned by Conrero (does he need to be introduced to anyone?) and it actually wears some Conrero badge. Of course the doubt is clear: apart from some nice enamel badges which can be bought everywhere, and apart from the Weber six-pack carburetors, is there some further proof… Read More A distinctive badge: 1967 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint Conrero
This 1967 Giulia Sprint GT Veloce is painted in, probably, one of the most sought after color: the Ochre Yellow – “Giallo Ocra” – is an absolute classic on these cars. The seller says that this car has still the original engine which was rebuilt in the 70’s, so it would be the time to… Read More Yellow winter: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This Lancia Flavia Coupé was originally painted in Silver with “Baseball glove leather” interiors, as the seller says. Apart from the definition, that’s a nice color combo. It’s an italian delivered car (there’s still the original Lancia dealer window sticker on the rear glass) which, like many other classic italian cars, more or less cared… Read More No reserve: 1967 Lancia Flavia Coupé 1.8
We guess that most of you have never seen this car, and indeed we neither did, at least until a couple of years ago when we spotted one for sale in Argentina. In 1962, the management of the argentinian Kaise Motors wanted an automobile that would be better suited to their domestic market, one that… Read More Italian connection: 1967 Ika Torino 380 Coupé by Pininfarina
Here it is a very rare car. It belongs to the big family of the coachbuilt Fiat 1100-103 build during the fifties, an obscure but very fascinating story. This is called “Gran Turismo” (as the badges on the front fenders say) and it based on a “normal” Fiat 1100-103, so not the TV engine and… Read More Hen’s teeth: 1955 Fiat 1100 Gran Turismo by Viotti
March 28, 2018, update: The car has been sold at €89,000 (today $110,000) including fees and taxes. February 6, 2018 This is not a real TZ2 and it’s not for sale on a usual portal: indeed it has been confiscated by the Italian tax department and now it has been advertised on a foreclosure sale… Read More Confiscated: 1966 Alfa Romeo TZ2 replica
This Giulietta Spider (chassis #1495*101) is one of the very first 750 series cars which came out of the assembly line of Alfa Romeo, it is in rough shape but is is worth of being restored. The thing we don’t understand is that, while this ca has been clearly parked somewhere for decades, it has… Read More 101 but 750: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
