The seller says that this car is a very easy project as its body is plenty of dime-size issues which can be easily fixed: more than a project, we see a car which can be driven as is. Actually the true bug of this car is that the engine block and cylinder head match each… Read More A matter of dime: 1953 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
The body is right, interiors are right, engine is right too on this rare Indy with the 4.9 liters engine of which only 300 were made from 1971 to 1975. The only “detail” which purists will not like about this particular car is that it is equipped with a Borg-Warner three speed gearbox, honestly not the… Read More Auto burgundy: 1972 Maserati Indy 4.9
Sometimes we’re pretty astonished by how many 356 still in restorable conditions keep coming out from nowhere, even after 20 and more years of huge revaluation, and this one is one of those. That’s a 356 SC (chassis #130685), the most powerful model of the 356 breed (with the obvious exception of the ultra rare… Read More Black and white: 1965 Porsche 356 SC
This Duetto 1750 is actually a rare car as not many of these have been built with this displacement which is, according to many, the best road engine of the sixties.

In 1958, when the production of the first Sprint Veloce ended, Alfa Romeo planned the production of a small batch of cars (more or less 200) with slightly different features. These 750E series had indeed the same engine of the first SV, fed by a couple of Weber DCO3 carburetors, but mated with some more “civilized”… Read More Swiss white: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce “Confortevole”
These special Simca dressed by Bertone have been apreciated a lot during the last years so they’re not so easy now to find at an affordable price, however there is still something around. This car (chassis #J92522F) was probably born red, differently from many others which were usualy painted in more “elegant” colors: the seller doesn’t… Read More Black bumpers: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
According to the seller, this Flaminia GT built by Touring is one of the first built, it has a low chassis number (not provided) and is is said to be basically unrestored. “Basically” because the seller says that the car had only one respray (in the original color) 30 years ago but, apart from that,… Read More It’s original once: 1960 Lancia Flaminia GT Coupé by Touring
From the same seller of the 1900C Pininfarina, here it is another important Coupé belonging to the 1900 series, this time it’s a “common” coupé built by Touring.
