This 1965 Giulia Spider Veloce (type 101.18) is one of only 1,091 made between 1964 and 1965. This model is the cutting edge of the Giulietta Spider family, featuring a 1570 c.c. twin cam engine (type 121) fed by a couple of Weber carburetors, and front disc brakes. Basically, the engine was the same installed… Read More The fastest one: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
This 1957 Bel Air Convertible is stuck in the middle (or less) of a full restoration. The seller says that some metal job has been done in a previous restoration but that apart from some spots, the car is solid. It also says that new brake lines have been installed along with four disc brakes.… Read More Most parts included: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
This 1956 s.w.b. Giulietta Spider (1495*1225) is said to be mostly original, including its Fergat rims set. The seller says that the car was purchased eleven years ago from an old lady who should have been the first owner of the car. The seller says also that since then the car had some bodywork around… Read More Original tires: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
France, both for the seller and for the car: differently from the 1200S featured here, this car is not white nor blue, the official color for french racing cars. Indeed this car shows a beautiful Rosso Corsa which mates perfectly with the black front grilles and the black vinyl interiors. This is a model year 1969… Read More French Giugiaro/2: 1969 Simca Bertone 1200 S
We are not Lancia experts so we can’t spot any typical sign which makes the difference between a 3rd and a 4th series of the B20 breed. Obviously, the main difference is about the rear suspensions system: much complex on the first three series. Just for this reason, it was abandoned (it was much more… Read More Unsure series: 1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 Coupé
This ’66 Sunbeam Roadster has been the point of a crossbreeding experiment: indeed the original 1725 c.c. inline-four engine, producing 93 h.p. has been swapped with a VW VR6 2.8 engine, rated at 190 h.p. Such power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 5 speed Toyota gearbox. That’s a lot of work which… Read More Crossbreed: 1966 Sunbeam Alpine Roadster 5th series
The seller doesn’t specify the year of this stunning Appia Zagato but, because it says that this car is a “passo corto” (s.w.b.), we can deduce that this car is at least from 1961, the first production year of this model. The red – perfect – paint should be the “Rosso Arcoveggio” shade which perfectly… Read More Amadori equipped: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport “Passo corto” by Zagato
This car has been built in consequence of the late ’60’s beat wave, when many builders tried to replicate the style and lines of the pre-war cars: just think at the Siata Spring and at the Gamine built by Vignale. This car was an idea of the most sold italian car magazine, Quattroruote (still existing… Read More Son of beat: 1967 Alfa Romeo 1750 GS Quattroruote by Zagato
This Porsche 912 has been totally restored and painted in a not original – but period correct – Bahama Yellow: we’re pretty sure that the California black plates gave a contribution in taking such decision. For sure a great effort has been spent on this restoration but just for this reason we wonder why the… Read More Matching plates: 1968 Porsche 912
This week we have here another delivery van: a 1957 Lancia Appia “Furgoncino”. These cars were often set up in this way to be sold to various companies, especially mechanics-related producers and distributors. These vans were not built by coachbuilders but by Lancia factory. They had a lower power than the sedan version, but a… Read More Style delivery: 1957 Lancia Appia C80S 2nd series
