This is a quite “common” Flaminia Coupé built fifty years ago by Touring coachworks, but its color combo is not common at all. Indeed that’s the first time that we see this light blue on this model and, trust us, we’ve seen a lot of these for sale. That is probably a special order color… Read More Special combo: 1965 Lancia Flaminia GT Coupé by Touring
The ASA 1000 GT needs no presentation for all the classic cars enthusiasts: known as the “Ferrarina” (little Ferrari), it has always considered as a little masterpiece. Indeed who started this venture was sure that a little car with high performances could fill a market gap back in 1965 and he was even right: unfortunately… Read More Little red Ferrari: 1965 ASA 1000 GT
This 308 GTBi is actually painted in a very rare color: few only of these cars were originally painted in white, we don’t know exactly how many but we would’t be surprised if they were less than ten. Other than beng painted in this unusual color, this car is said to be a barn find:… Read More American wheels: 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi
The Duetto 1750 is the rarest among the Duetto (a.k.a. “Graduate”) model produced by Alfa: actually we didn’t event thought that this could be a 1750. And that’s because the asking price – for a real 1750 – is more than good, especially if the conditions of the car are as good as they seem;… Read More Red and clean: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
This metallic gold (Oro 826 is the factory shade name) Alfa Romeo Montreal is not a perfect car, but it’s still in good conditions like many other survivors like it. That’s because the Montreal, thanks to Bertone, was the first Alfa ever to have an anti-corrosion treatment of the body: indeed it’s a rare event… Read More Invest in gold: 1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal
This is of of 1091 cars made because, other than being a Giulia Spider, it carries (at least once) the badge “Veloce”. That means that the engine of these cars was modified to be moe powerful: it actually was the same unit installed on the Giulia Sprint Speciale and that means different camshafts, a couple… Read More Ready for the job: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
We know this car (chassis #SL0168): it is a rare car in itself, then it has a spectacular color combo so it’s easy to spot it around the world. The first time we saw it in flesh was six years ago, in Italy. When we saw it back then, the car was already restored… Read More Green aluminium: 1952 Siata Daina Trasformabile by Farina
DF is for “Derivata Fiat” (Fiat derived) and that simply means that this expensive (then and now) car was based on the reliable and rock-solid Fiat 1900 platform. Of course when it was unveiled at the 1953 Geneva Salon, it was not just a Fiat 1900 with a different body as Cisitalia clients were used… Read More One of ten: 1953 Cisitalia 505 DF
Actually, many of these cars have been abused, abandoned, environmentally recycled or crushed in the past: this one has been abandoned but still something remains of it. It s a red GT Junior which has not been abused as it looks pretty original with the exception of the period correct mag wheels, but the point… Read More Abandoned Junior: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
This GT Veloce was originally delivered to its first owner in Italy but then a former soldier stationed in Italy (hence the “AFI” plate) bought the car and took it with him in the U.S.A. That’s not at all the first time we read a story like this, unfortunately just like many stories like this,… Read More Italian delivery: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
