This early Giulietta Spider carries a three digits chassis number: it is the #250 to have seen the light out of the Portello factory. It was sold new to Hoffmann in NY and then it was white as the old paint on the dashboard tells us; nothing else has remained of that white which was… Read More 250 from launch: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Two days, two Dino: this is the time of the blue-blooded (and painted) Ferrari and, moreover, it has a removable roof too. Of course the word “cheap” makes you think at a car who could be afforded by an average person: no, this isn’t the case. Indeed this is still a Dino Ferrari and, from what… Read More Cheaper is harder/3: 1972 Dino Ferrari 246 GTS
Time has passed since these cars were cheap: now this is the cheapest Fino Dino 2400 around, of course if you exclude wrecks. The 2400 had not only a bigger and more powerful engine than the 2000, but also independent rear suspensions, the same of its noble cousin, the Dino 246 GT. Back then it… Read More The family Ferrari: 1970 Fiat Dino 2400 Coupé
This is another example about how we are just custodian of these cars, which will survive to us for many years to come. This Giulia Spider Veloce has been bought by a US serviceman in Vienna back in 1966, and then he carried this car home in central US. probably that soldier is not anymore… Read More Tougher than life: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
Let’s begin with saying that this car it’s not a bargain, and we suppose that no-one could believe it is. However, this is so beautiful that deserves to be published. It’s a 1000 Bialbero “Long Nose” from 1964, a car (like most Abarth’s) buillt in order to join every available race accross the world: every detail of… Read More Short car, long nose: 1964 Abarth 1000 Bialbero
Well we’ve seen this car on eBay last friday but our own policy says, with rare exceptions, one car per working day so here she is now. For sure many have seen this car so far even because it’s a rare find: not so rare for the usual seller which has put many of these post-war… Read More Golden retrieved: 1950 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Freccia d’Oro
Yes, the only thing the seller says about this car is that it’s actually a car which still works, and he underlines such fact using many exclamation marks. So, we can only suppose what car is it thanks to the photos provided: it looks like a survivor car which has preserved well: the black paint could… Read More Working car: 1963 Fiat 2300S Coupé
We know that “Bug” is the nick officially reserved to Volkswagen Beetle, but this cute tiny car, painted in its original (and now faded) black really looks like a little insect. Many of us have seen, during the last years, a lot of these cars in desperate conditions, full of rust holes and often without… Read More Extra dry bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Sestriére by Zagato
Aurelia’s B20 are not usual to spot in the U.S. but sometimes when you find them they reserve big surprises like the former MM car published few months ago and stored for many years in a barn in Oregon. This car clearly comes from UK (at least the plate says it) and it is said to… Read More Minor cosmetic only: 1957 Lancia Aurelia B20
When, in 1961, Simca managers decided to give an aggressive looks to their new little coupé, the name which came in their mind was, of course, Bertone. We think that – with all the due respect to Farina brothers, Vignale and Ghia – the most beautiful and dramatic cars made during the period between the 1935… Read More Spicy & elegant: 1967 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
