The first thing that has caught our attention about this car is the beautiful pale blue mated to the striking red leather interiors. Then we realized that this coupé has the OSCA engine too. That’s not the most powerful Fiat OSCA made (like the 1600S 118B): this engine is 100 c.c. smaller and it is fed… Read More Blue meets red: 1961 Fiat 1500 OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
This is one of the most wanted Alfa of the sixties, painted in one of the best shade available: it is called “Giallo Ocra” (Ochre yellow)and it comes with the car along with a good amount of rust. Maybe this car (chassis #AR252882) has lived most of its life in the rust belt but for… Read More Southern yellow: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This car is the tentative of copying a car actually made by Abarth back in 1967 on the Fiat 850 platform: it was called OT 2000 and it was, maybe, the most extreme road going car built by the factory. Five cars were built by Abarth in order to join the endurance competitions of that… Read More Hard-core replica: 1970 Abarth OT 2000 Coupé
During the 1961 and 1962 a small batch of these “strange” Porsches were built by Karmann (who wasn’t at the time the official Porsche coachbuilder: Reutter was) basically welding an hardtop on the body of a Cabrio. We don’t know why they decided to make such experiment: maybe they wanted to check the response of… Read More Almost Cabrio: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Hardtop by Karmann
This 2000 Spider (chassis #AR102.04.01549) project comes from Mexico where it is said to have been with the original owner until now: maybe that’s why it’s the first time ever we see the original rigid toolbox we didn’t know about its existence. This looks a nice project indeed: this former-red car has a very dry… Read More Many papers, few rust: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
March 14 Here it is again with a price drop to €15,000 (today $16,600) February 23 That’s the first time we see for sale an Appia convertibile in this pale blue shade: actually this car has also a blue interior and soft top. Usually it’s easier to find these cars in white red or grey so… Read More Blue on blue: 1963 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
We didn’t know about the existence of this car: ok, maybe our knowledge of british cars is smaller than the italian one but we didn’t imagine to miss a factory produced car. The seller says that this is one of the two HKV produced: maybe they realized that the car was too heavy and slow so… Read More Only two made: 1949 Triumph TRX-HKV 20
This late Giulietta 750F has had some transplant which involved its engine and not only: for sure this should be quite quicker than when it was born. Indeed the seller says that it is a 750F: we believe him but at the same time we have spotted the mother of all issues: the engine clearly… Read More Giulia inside: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
March 10 Here it is again, this time on eBay, with current bidding at $60,000 and reserve price not met. Thanks to reader Brian for this tip. January 30, 1015 In 1953 the 356 was still made using a bent windshield as well as in 1954 (the last year of this feature), but 1953 was… Read More Bent window: 1953 Porsche 356
This 750E Giulietta (chassis #1493E*23895) is one of the latest cars produced with that model tag: it has already some characters of the 101 series like the bigger headlights, different front grilles and heart along with a different engine code (106), but still it’s a Veloce. The first impression which comes to mind watching the… Read More Late car: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
