The most clear feature of an early 911 also known as “Zero Series” is the veneer on the dashboard: this car belongs to that breed. The ebay auctioneer is in the UK but clearly this is an US car and we also have understood where the car has been photographed. Apart from these useless details,… Read More Woodie inside: 1965 Porsche 911
This car was once one of the favorite cabriolet of aristocrats, industrialists and Hollywood stars. Many years have passed since then and time has been hard on this particular car. This car needs actually a lot of things: first, the odd Corvette dashboard must go because it’s a kind of insult to the class of this… Read More Full steel: 1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
This is the typical project which is stuck in the middle of a restoration. You need some skilled help for sure but it could be completed at home if you have many weekends available. The seller says that the restoration of this car has begun 20 years ago but it has never been completed (and… Read More Silver weekends: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint Coupé
These were the sportiest cars produced in France during the sixties, along with their direct competitor, the Alpine A110. And, just like the more known Alpine, they were made to be agile and light: the fiberglass body was indeed made by Matra and mated with a Renault four cylinders engine with a displacement of 1108… Read More Treetop level flight: 1965 Matra Djet V
The DKW F89L had the precursor layout to the contemporary van: front-wheel drive, transverse engine, flat floor, and multi-configurable seating. It also has a face which looks like the “Grimacing Face” emoticon on your Whatsapp app. The funny thing is that the name “Schnellaster” should mean something like “Speedster”. Differently from its direct competitor, the VW bus,… Read More Emoticon on wheels: 1954 DKW F89 L “Schnellaster”
It’s clear that the seller is aware of the rarity of this car, on the other hand he doesn’t know much more than that. Indeed he claims that the body/chassis was made by “Autotelaio”: unfortunately “Autotelaio” is an italian word which means “chassis”. Actually this coupé was one of the Fiat special cars made by… Read More Chassis by Chassis: 1961 Fiat 1500S Coupé by Viotti

This funny Fiat 850 Spider is said to be a barn find, actually it seems everything but a barn find.

We know well that many pepole can’t stand bugs, even if they have a VW badge: however, especially the first series, have that Porsche allure which we love. This is a 1950 bug which still has the purity and the elegange of the early series: we found only once a pre-’50s car but they’re extremely… Read More Dark like a bug: 1950 Volkswagen Beetle
This Quattroporte has for sure been beaten on the front in the past and whoever fixed it didn’t care much of the final outcome. So the car will need for sure a good metal work on the nose but we doubt that the future owner could stop just there: this car seems a good starting… Read More Plastic surgery needed: 1966 Maserati Quattroporte
