“Zagato junior 1300” is the description of this announcement, and so far so good if it weren’t for one detail: it is clear which car it is, so a description like this adds no value. It follows that we must try to deduce the state of the car only from the photos (those, at least,… Read More Two words, one number: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
Here is another car that emerges from the darkness and we assume, given the details of some photos, that it comes from South America. Obviously we are not sure but certainly, in relation to this car, there is very little, as in the announcement there are no details relating to the origin, the chassis number… Read More From darkness/3: 1947 Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet by Vignale
We’ve seen many classic TVRs for sale in the past, but we’ve rarely come across a Griffith – the reason being that only 59 were ever made. The seller says he has owned this car for twenty years during which time he has actually rebuilt everything of it, among other things this car was in… Read More Little bad machine: 1966 TVR Griffith series 400
As we have already mentioned in this post, the Doretti was built by Swallow Coachbuilding Company which, before this car, used to build small, economy cars: this was a true exception in their production but unfortunately it didn’t last long. This car is based on a tubular steel chassis, Triumph TR2 mechanical components and an aluminum… Read More Mixed body: 1955 Swallow Doretti
Slate Gray 6201 should be the color code of this rare 356 BT6 in its least appreciated version (but only at the time of presentation), now its collector interest is high. It has never been clear to us why the Porsche management of the time decided to produce this strange hybrid, neither coupé nor cabriolet… Read More 15 year long nap: 1962 Porsche 356 BT6 Super 90 Hardtop Coupé
Another day, another spider, another Alfa Romeo. But this time it’s the bigger sister of the one released on Monday. It is in fact a 2000 Spider designed and built not at the Portello factory, but at the Touring body shop which, at the time of production of this model, was a 20-minute walk away.… Read More Matte silver: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
We have always wondered why most European cars were sold new in California, and perhaps one of the answers is that the morphology of the terrain is the one most similar to the Italian one in the rest of the USA. Consequently, a nimble little car, even one with not as much horsepower as a… Read More SWB project: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
This Lancia Aurelia is said to be a one-off built by Bertone on a B52 chassis, and exhibited at the 1951 Turin Motor Show. But the really remarkable thing about this special car (chassis B52. 1074, engine B21.4542) is that it is said to be completely original and to have traveled – brace yourselves –… Read More Time capsule: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B52 Coupé by Bertone
It is not easy to see these cars outside of Brazil, where they were produced, and in fact this car arrived in Europe thanks to a Brazilian man. The seller says this was originally the car of the Brazilian ambassador in Paris and has been in his family for many years. This is a rare… Read More The diplomat’s car: 1971 Puma Spyder 1600 GTE
Ok, we agree that maybe “completed” is an understatement, however, technically, the car is there. From what we understand, it is a Fiberfab Aztec built on a platform – for a change – Volkswagen Type 1 (better known as Beetle). This was probably once a running car, since the wheels, headlights and drivetrain are already… Read More To be completed: 1970 Fiberab Aztec
