The Maserati Sebring shape has a clear kindred with another car designed by Michelotti and built by Vignale: the Italia 2000. The proportions are quite the same along with some peculiar detail like the sloping roof and the protruding radiator grille shape. Apart from such elements, the Sebring is pushed, in this case, by a… Read More Italia’s big sister: 1965 Maserati Sebring II by Vignale
To be honest, we never heard of Mochet microcars (or cycle-cars) so far but what we see here is quite intriguing. The factory was established soon after WWI but the began to produce this car only in 1953. It has a two-stroke, single cylinder engine with a displacement of 125 c.c. which can push this… Read More Meep Meep: 1956 Mochet Type CM Grand Luxe

France is definitely the place where to buy a Simca. This 1200S is painted in a very pleasant pale blue, very similar to the “Celeste Chiaro” used on its peer, the Maserati Ghibli (designed by Giugiaro as well), mated to a classic black interior, a typical color combo of late sixties. The seller says that… Read More Pale blue bargain: 1967 Simca 1200S by Bertone
Sure, this car is not what it’s usually classified as “cheap”: actually the asking price of this car is unreachable for most uf us. But, in relative terms, this B24S could be one of the very last opportunities to buy such car at something around a quarter million dollars. These considerations start obviously after watching… Read More Silver Chip: 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24 Convertibile
Update, September 19: We have checked the link to the ad but it’s not there anymore. We saw this ad yesterday and probably, seen the asking price, this car has gone quickly. The new owner made a great deal. 1973 was the second year of production of the AM V8, an evolution of the DBS, which… Read More Affordable luxury: 1973 Aston Martin V8 Coupé
This 1959 750 DB is completely naked: a lot of attention must be paid to be sure that every part is included in the sale and, if not, to know what parts are missing. On the other hand, in this way it’s possible to check the real status of the car without distractions. This car… Read More Naked metal: 1959 Abarth 750 DB by Zagato
Update, September 19: after only two days the ad has been removed, probably because the car has been sold. The early bird catches the worm. There’s few to review about this car but what we can say it’s an extremely nice specimen which has been restored for sure not so long ago (probably no earlier… Read More Try to do better: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
Mr. Rapley again amazes us with another barn find: this time is an early Giulietta Sprint (#356) which features some distinctive details like the aluminium hood (later used on the Veloce’s) and the pull-knob starter switch. We only must correct the seller when he says that the only Giulietta Mille Miglia eligible are the ones… Read More 356 but not german: 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
