We’re in the middle of summer so posting two spiders for two consecutive posts won’t shock anyone. Once again it is an Italian car, a Fiat built in a period in which Fiat knew how to build cars, cars that could often overshadow much more prestigious brands, also because the production range varied from the… Read More Flamboyant look: 1958 Fiat 1200 Trasformabile
We won’t dwell too much on the description of the car as there is little to see from the photos, but in person there would be far too much to analyze. And the analysis should be made by an expert not only of Alfa Romeo, but of the GTA as this is said to be… Read More Nobody moves: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
The body color is the most “summery” you could wish for, and its name is also evocative: Bahama Yellow. The aforementioned color was applied to the bodywork of a Porsche 911 which was still part of the so-called “zero series”, i.e. the 901 series as the 911 was initially christened. However, when Peugeot (which had… Read More Summer outside: 1966 Porsche 911
Generally speaking, the Giulietta Spider needs no introduction as it is one of the icons of the world of classic cars, along with a few others such as the Jaguar E-Type, the Porsche 356, the VW Beetle or the ’59 Cadillac Eldorado. Yet some Giuliettas are more Giulietta than others, as in the case of… Read More 1 of 32: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Here we are dealing with a rare car, but at the same time an almost desperate case. It is in fact a Glas 1300 GT, a German one designed by the Frua workshops in Turin at a time when German houses relied on Italian designers who knew what they were doing, and in fact this… Read More The challenge: 1966 Glas 1300 GT
It was a bit like the Cinderella of Italian spiders, but it didn’t deserve it. This car had everything for the time: spider bodywork, a double overhead camshaft engine designed by Lampredi, a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes, a line basically identical to that of the Ferrari 275 GTS and, last but no less important, built… Read More Guaranteed fun: 1973 Fiat 124 Sport Spider 1600
One of the latest works of the glorious Touring body shop was the conversion of the GT most loved by Italians into a Cabriolet. Unfortunately, this conversion was not very commercially successful and very few were produced, and even fewer survive: this example is a survivor, probably part of the spectacular Dutch Palmen collection, containing… Read More Black patina: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC
Once these cars were a bit mistreated, considered more like motorized toys than real cars, and for this reason most have been lost. Indeed these are not cars in which you can travel 1000 miles to take your family and their luggage on a beach holiday, yet these are cars that have the power to… Read More Yellow bug: 1968 Meyers Manx Dune Buggy
When we say the word “rare”, we are certainly not referring to this car which, in fact, is unique. It is a one-off commissioned in 1950 to Stabilimenti Farina, the same ones who, together with Vignale (the latter in the last period), built the Cisitalia 202: the resemblance is there and it can be clearly… Read More One-off: 1950 Lancia Aurelia B10 by Farina
It’s already been a while since we published a Simca 1200S, and the reason is that lately they only find one at high prices, but this could be an opportunity for someone to get their hands on an affordable specimen. Obviously the reason is easy to understand: the car needs some work starting with the… Read More Stuck silver: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
