We always aim to understand exactly what the name of this particular Abarth is, as some call it “Scorpio” and others don’t. Obviously there is something we are missing. Never mind, the important thing is not the name but the car itself which in this case is in pretty bad shape: it certainly hasn’t seen… Read More Was red: 1959 Abarth 850 Coupè by Allemano
Unfortunately we have to make do with a few poor photos to evaluate this very rare Pininfarina coupé. We published another one, maybe in 2017, but that was in worse condition than this car which doesn’t seem to need anything as it seems preserved: this is also what the seller claims, stating that it is… Read More White and rare: 1958 Fiat 1100 Coupé by Pininfarina
Years ago (yes, it gets old) we found another 1955 Karmann Ghia and haven’t seen one for sale since, until today. We had decided that it deserved to be published as, apart from its ratty look, it is not every day to find one for sale belonging to the first production batch, unfortunately most of… Read More Oldest in town: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupé
The GT Junior is one of the cars I’ve remained most fond of: it’s not a monster of power but it has character, a lot of character. Probably, if I had to choose now, I would opt for a Giulia Sprint Gt for its 1600 cc engine, at least to make the most of it… Read More Cromodora equipped: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT junior
As soon as we saw this ad we stopped looking elsewhere, it was enough for us to see the profile of this wonderful coupé. It is a 6C 2500 SS built in 1938, i.e. the decade before the Second World War in which Alfa Romeo, especially in collaboration with the nearby Touring body shop, churned… Read More Unmolested beauty: 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Super Sport by Touring
A little over 20 years ago I remember stumbling upon a ’63 Corvette for sale, in good condition, in Silver Blue. The asking price was $25,000. Although attracted by the car, I thought that the price was too high and gave it up: it is clear that if I had chosen the profession of fortune… Read More Split window: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupé
If you are a fan of German classic cars and DKW in particular, this is a unique opportunity. In fact, it is a DKW collection which also includes very popular, highly sought-after vans. In particular, the vehicles on sale are the following (we report the list as made by the seller): 1953 DKW F91 Convertible… Read More Two stroke stash: A DWK collection for sale
This car could be called the perfect sports car: light, easy to handle, cheap to maintain, beautiful. It is difficult to find all these qualities together in another car. Sure, it’s probably not comfortable, but sporty and comfortable together are an oxymoron, so we won’t consider this last aspect. The fact is that when new,… Read More Bare minimum: 1960 Lotus Elite
One of the most frequent problems when restoring a 60-year-old car is finding spare parts, it is true, you can find aftermarket components for sale but they rarely have the quality necessary for a top-level restoration. Not only that: sometimes the classic car parts produced now are of absolutely poor quality, and, the best part,… Read More Three for one: 1965 Subeam Tiger + 2 Sunbeam Alpine
