With this car, five are the OSI 20M published by us: almost a record as probably only an handful of these cars are still alive. Everytime we see an OSI, we think that this car has a huge presence (the car is 4.6 meters long and 1.8 wide) and looks more expensive than it really… Read More Million dollar face: 1968 OSI 20M TS Coupé
Yes, cheaper is harder, at least to find a 1600 HF like this one. Basically this is a “Fanalone” without big headlights but with the same engine and interiors. Apart from the stunning color – a sort of metallic bronze – the car looks ultra clean, detailed and with every part in its place. The… Read More Cheaper is harder/2: 1972 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF 1600
The seller must be a sort of Abarth nut: not only this car is for sale but other two cars. One of these cars is said to be a former Briggs Cunningham Team car, painted in a stunning white with black stripes. However, all these cars are in a stunning, restored conditions like this silver… Read More Spring sale: 1959 Abarth 750 GT Record Monza Bialbero by Zagato
This 1500S Cabrio project has travelled half of the world: the seller says that, back in ’63, it was bought new by the owner in Netherlands which took the car to NY and then, in mid ’70’s, moved back to Netherlands bringing again the car with him. It is a project car with a lot… Read More Globetrotter: 1963 Fiat 1500S OSCA Cabriolet
We are used to see many rebodied italian cars but rarely we’ve seen a rebodied AH 100/6: this car is said to have been rebodied during the sixties and, for sure, who made this was both influenced by the Ferrari California and the Corvette C3. Indeed the nose looks like a Corvette C3 while the… Read More Total crossbreed: 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 “The California”
If we should give a physical representation of the “Minimal art” concept, it would be this car. It’s an Ashley Sport 750 with a fiberglass body which clearly winks at period italian race barchetta’s. This car is the quintessence of the word “simple”: one engine, one chassis, two seats and four wheels: it’s even hard… Read More Minimal art: 1957 Ashley 750 Sport MKI
Update, September 29: Reader Quasimodo has bought this car to restore it. It’s not a job for the fearful: stay tuned on his progress checking periodically his progress here: http://fiat1500ghiarestoration.blogspot.nl/ March 10 This 1500 GT was made by Ghia using the chassis and the engine of the Fiat 1500: back then it was a respectable little… Read More Dentist required: 1963 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
This car has not the easiest name of the world to be pronounced, but for sure is one of the streamiest lines ever made for a station wagon: Michelotti made a great work here. It’s a 1973 – fiberglass bodied – Reliant Scimitar powered by the “Essex” V6 Ford engine: 150 h.p. are enough to… Read More Sleeker is better: 1973 Reliant Scimitar GTE 3.0 SE5-A
This is an ultra-rare pre-war Siata Amica Trasformabile, built on Fiat 500B chassis (a.k.a. “Topolino”). It’s indeed a rare event to see one of these, especially if for sale. This car has not only the chassis but also the engine, drivetrain and suspensions of the Topolino so the good is that finding the correct spare parts… Read More Transformed Topolino: 1939 Siata Amica Trasformabile
Another 1965 911 here, and this one is painted in a flashing Signal Red. This seems a stalled project which looks in a quite good conditions (the body, of course). The good of this car, as just said, is that the body seems dry: the floors look nice as well as the upper part of… Read More Early red: 1965 Porsche 911
