Hard to believe but this is actually not an Alfa: the body by Pininfarina came from a Alfa Romeo 2500 Berlina but the seller says that, as the photos show, this body fits perfectly on the Jaguar frame. The seller says indeed that during 1949 & 1950 Jaguar experimented with a number of body designs… Read More The not-Alfa: 1950 Jaguar MK-VII by Pininfarina
This 1974 Giulia super has been rebuilt in order to make it look like the legendary (and ultra rare) Ti super and, must say, the outcome is very nice. Obviously, the white paint is mandatory as the Ti Super were made only in such color; also the rims installed are a correct replica of the… Read More Fast and four-ious: 1974 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Super tribute car
This 1953 Panhard X87 (vin #855685) is one of the 4,000 (more or less) made from 1952 to 1953: it’s equipped with a 850 c.c. flat-twin, air cooled engine producing 40 h.p. and it has a shape which you won’t forget easily: it deserves the nickname “bathub” even more than the Porsche Speedster appeared in… Read More No trunk: 1953 Panhard Dyna X87 Junior
This 1951 home-built race car is pushed by a Gilera Saturno 500 motorcycle engine in order to join the 500 c.c. class back then: the builder was a french (we suppose) guy, Adrien Bec who is said to have built three cars including this one which is bodied using the aluminium. The seller doesn’t mention… Read More Nice wheels: 1951 Bec-Gilera Saturno 500 Monoposto
This 1955 Morgan Plus 4 is said to have 41,840 miles on it and that it lays in a horse barn since 1996. So, this “horse barn find” seems a great unrestored Morgan which looks like it needs few touches to hit the road again. Interior looks exceptionally preserved: everything is in place including the… Read More High cowl and low miles: 1955 Morgan Plus 4
This Primerose Yellow MG-Gt is one of the few made with big three liters inline-six engine under the bonnet: it is said the only 4,449 Gt hatchback were made, of which 1,773 were imported to U.S. It should be fun to drive a such tiny car with such big engine. The seller says that this car… Read More Small shell, big heart: 1969 MG-C GT Coupé
The 700 series was the car which, back then, saved BMW from bankruptcy: first showed in 1959 at the cost of D.M. 4,760 (few more than $1000) and the fuel consumption of 47 m.p.g. it can be considered the first (and maybe only) BMW produced for the mass: it was a Giovanni Michelotti job which… Read More German Michelotti: 1963 BMW 700 Coupé
This Flaminia Convertibile is said to have been stored during the last 15 years and that it’s in the hands of current owner since 35 years ago. Indeed it seems way much more than a “project” but a car which needs few touches to hit the road again. This is a valuable three carburetors 2.5,… Read More On hold: 1967 Lancia Flaminia 3C 2.5 Convertibile by Touring
This 1964 356C has a very good body, without any major sign of rust or ding or past crashes. The seller says that it is actually a basket case project as he doesn’t have a garage (?). He also says that the car is matching number, according to the original driver’s manual and service book which… Read More 10k project: 1964 Porsche 356C
This pretty Italia 2000 (Vignale body #30) is said to have been registered new in Madrid and that it has 88,000 kms from new, which is quite plausible on such car. The most curious thing on this car is the pale blue paint which seems old, probably original, but it’s a shade not mentioned in… Read More Strange color: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
