Many moons have passed since this car was in driveable conditions, much more since it looked almost new. What remains of this car is something which needs a full restoration. First of all we don’t understand exactly in what color it was originally painted: we guess some shade of gold but there are also some… Read More Red and gold: 1959 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Why publishing a restored Giulietta Spider Veloce which apparently has nothing particular compared with others for sale at the same time? Because this is a type 750 and, last but not least at all, it was build in 1957. 1957 doesn’t only mean that this is a Mille Miglia eligible car but, most of all,… Read More 1 of 35: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
This Giulietta SS is being sold as you see it: basically that’s a bare shell with wheels and nothing more than that. What’s actually interesting is that this car is said to be the 12th car ever produced (chassis #AR10120*0012) The seller says that this car has been imported from Venezuela and that’s not a… Read More Number 12: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale

Then, the point is about finding one which is very good conditions: this particular car seems… Read More Lots of records: 1981 Alfa Romeo Spider 2000
This barn find E-Type is a bit different from many others being sold on the market in the same conditions: other than being one of the “flat floor” series cars, this is a very early car with the bonnet louvers welded (instead of being part of the bonnet itself). We all know that some details… Read More Welded louvers: 1961 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
Someone would say that this is the right car in the right place: every Alfa Romeo enthusiast knows the film “The Graduate” where a young Dustin Hoffman used to drive a car like this, painted with the same color, received as bachelor gift by his parents. This one, given its conditions, can’t ever be used… Read More Spider inside: 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1600
This 3rd series Lancia Appia Berlina slept for many years in a east coast garage before being recently unhearted: it has just been cleaned but nothing more than that. The seller says that, prior to 1970, the car belinged to a couple of guys living in Texas, then, in 1980, the car was sold to… Read More East coast patina: 1961 Lancia Appia Berlina
The new episode of the series “Mutation” presents a Maserati 3500 GT which had a face surgery (and not only) in the past: the outcome can’t be defined “superb”. Do you remember the time when you could buy one of these cars for a loaf of bread? That was the time where many people tried to… Read More Mutation/4: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT
