The seller says that this car could be one of the scarce Dino 196S with a body made by Medardo Fantuzzi, a coachbuilder who worked for Ferrari until 1966 on his race cars. He says that the car has not tags or numbers and that it comes with many parts. For sure, the only part… Read More The Fantuzzi in the barn: 1959 Dino Ferrari 196S
I remember that when I was young I got crazy watching the sleek profile of this car which is actually an italian muscle car. It’s low, confortable, plenty of power and heavy and it has stance. From some angles the early ’70’s heritage is evident but no one could say that this car has not… Read More Eternal underdog: 1980 Ferrari 400i
The Kyalami (type 129) was the last Maserati made by Frua, after a 25 years long profitable collaboration. The design started from the De Tomaso Longchamp but the Maserati is slightly larger and longer than its predecessor. This car was made in 210 units as it was expensive and thirsty (like every 8V Maserati) so,… Read More Frua’s last one: 1979 Maserati Kyalami 4.2
Really, the first time we saw a photo of this car we thought that it was a Photoshop® job: but this is not the case. Probably, whoever had the idea to build this car started from a Fiat 850 van (“Promiscuo”) chassis, filled the engine bay with a mean inline-six Fiat 2300 engine backed by… Read More Photoshop® not needed: 1968 Fiat 2300S “Prototipo”
This car has been built in 1950 – starting from a 1946 Mercury chassis – by Lloyd Templeton and his sons. It’s also known as “Bob Hope Special” because it was supposed to have been used in a film with Bob Hope, a film which remained a project. This car was also shown at the third… Read More Expensive Hope: 1946 Mercury Templeton Saturn
This E-Type Open Two Seater is a series 1.5, (chassis 1E-15625) so it’s basically a series one with few, minor changes. The seller says that it’s a former U.S. car which is in Europe since 1990. The clear attempt of the former owner was to build a tribute to the factory Lightwight cars which ran… Read More Lightweight attempt: 1967 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S. 4.2
This 1960 Maserati 3500 GT was born with a Grigio (grey) color and it has seen much better days. It seems a car forgotten for several decades among nature elements and it carries all the pain of such negligence. The seller says that what you see is what you get: so, whatching the photos, you… Read More Grigio, not Frigio: 1960 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring
Not many know that only 300 Fiat Osca 1600S Coupé (type 118B) were made. As the classic car market is a little lunatic, we see other similar cars – take the Triumph Italia as example – which fectch many thousand dollars as 329 only were made. Actually we find that this coupé is even more… Read More Three-hundred: 1964 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
This ’64 SS has two oddities: the banana yellow paint and the right hand drive. Almost surely, the yellow paint was not a factory option but we have no sources to confirm that the lhd wasn’t an option as well. Only the Archivio Storico Alfa Romeo (Alfa Romeo Archive) can make clarity on this point.… Read More Yellow and RHD: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
This 1967 Giulia Sprint GT has been heavily modified to make it a GTA tribute. The work performed on this car seems exquisite and without any expense spare. It is actually more a track car than a road one but it could be easily converted to road specifications (if you want to do it). The… Read More Powerful toy: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA tribute
