We don’t remember exactly how many cars like this we’ve posted in ten years, but this should be the second or third, tops. This is because it is an extremely rare car like all the cars built to order by the Italian car ateliers of the 1950s: In this case it is the Monterosa bodywork,… Read More Extra rare: 1955 Fiat 600 Coupé by Monterosa
Yes, there are holes almost everywhere on the bodywork, evidently this car was parked outdoors or under a shed, probably also with holes in it. However, under that layer of rust that you see there is still a 190 SL which, according to the seller, has matching numbers and also has a hard top, an… Read More Hole in the pocket: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL
We will never get tired of the madness of the 70s, which very often found one of its forms of expression in the extreme customization of cars. Here it is no longer a question of “taste”, but only of observing a snapshot of those years represented by a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette roadster: it is certainly… Read More Big Banana: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
No, it is not our intention to publish all existing Veloces, however, given the car’s rarity, we feel compelled to do so every time we find one for sale. It is an example that we could define as a “barn find”, in the typical conditions of a 60-year-old Alfa Romeo that has not only been… Read More Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
It is a car that was born black with a red interior, but has the history of previous owners, and one of them liked yellow. However, this 356 has no less charm, indeed, it wears a beautiful patina that should not be erased just to make it one of the many restored and shiny 365As.… Read More Black underwear: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
It wasn’t difficult, among cars built in the 1950s, to find cars that had “parents” of different nationalities: here is a representative specimen. The reason for this multiple paternity (or maternity) was the different specialization of the different countries: Nobody did bodywork as well as the Italians and therefore, for a luxury car, it was… Read More Niche stuff: 1954 Nash Healey Coupé by Pininfarina
There is little that can be done now: in the world of classic cars it is practically impossible to find a Sprint Veloce 750E for sale without “Alleggerita” (ligtweight) being added to its name. We don’t know exactly how this fashion was born, it was certainly a gimmick by the sellers to add charm to… Read More Say my name: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
In the end this Giulietta Spider literally applied its name to its philosophy of life: Veloce (“fast”) and therefore destined for racing. There are many cars like this which, since their release at the end of the 1950s, have been converted to racing, mainly by private drivers who considered them ideal for participating in races… Read More White racer: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
When a Fiat-Abarth is involved there is always that shiver down the spine when evaluating its originality, however the seller has published a photo of the title where it is clear that this is an original Abarth. What is not original is the quantity of badges on the nose, in particular on the front grille… Read More Engine stash: 1967 Abarth OT 1000
Marino Brandoli, one of the many Turinese personalities who dedicated their professional life to tuning on a Fiat base, was famous for his cylinder heads which improved the efficiency of Fiat engines. In fact, in the past we have seen other special cars based on Fiat with engines developed by his shop: generally they were… Read More Special head: 1939 Fiat 500B Barchetta by Marino
