We have said it several times that, after the Second World War, Germany started again from the bottom, producing very small cars, and this Victoria 250 is a further confirmation. To tell the truth, even in Italy, in the immediate post-war period, there was a flourishing proliferation of microcars, but this phenomenon did not last… Read More Micro spider: 1957 Victoria 250
BMWs, even in the 1930s, were never large cars, at least in comparison with their compatriots Mercedes Benz, but after the Second World War they had to start from very small dimensions. Indeed, it was already a miracle that BMW had got back on its feet (thanks to the Amerian economic aid) so the fact… Read More Unofficially imported: 1963 BMW 700 Cabriolet
A tip from personal experience: if you intend to buy a classic car to be restored, never buy rotten scrap just to save on the purchase price: at the end of the restoration you will regret it bitterly. You will regret it for three reasons: the first is about the money you will spend; in… Read More Dry white: 1962 Porsche 356B T6 Coupé
We ask ourselves that too. We wonder if this could really be one of only 12 Giulietta Sprints produced in 1954 and, to tell the truth, it would be not the first we see. One is in fact owned by the well-known Italian collector Corrado Lopresto, but it is not the only one we are… Read More 1 of 12: 1954 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Certainly there is still a long way to go, before returning to being usable, for this rare Alfa Romeo, but also in rather serious conditions. It is a typical example of a car abandoned for decades (in our opinion no less than three) in bad weather and later, probably consequently to the rise in prices,… Read More Long way to go: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
We don’t normally publish such “new” cars, however there are times when you need to make exceptions, like in this case, and for good reason. As you can see this is a very normal four door Volvo 244 Turbo as many of us have seen around, yet this is different: it has not been restored… Read More Unicorn: 1982 Volvo 244 Turbo
The name Malibu derives from the language of the Chumash people who called the place Humaliwo or “the surf sounds loudly”: this car allows you to fully enjoy the sound of the crashing waves. This car is not a Meyers Manx but one of those produced by a competitor company of the famous manufacturer of… Read More Malibu cruiser: 1969 VW Glitterbug Dune Buggy
Pininfarina is certainly the best known Italian coachbuilder in the world, and certainly not without merit, but in our opinion Bertone was the one who “dared” most of all. By “daring” we mean that Bertone has always been the one who designed the bodywork with that extra inspiration that you would not expect, with solutions… Read More The french italian: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
Of the many Giulietta Spiders we published, very few, indeed probably none (at least as far as we can remember) were black. And when we say black we mean born that way, certainly not repainted in the course of her life. Black is a color that according to me gives a lot to this car:… Read More Black shade: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
There are classic cars whose value goes beyond the classification of year, make and model, and this happens because they carry something objectively irrelevant but emotionally important. On the other hand, if you study economics at university, they will teach you the concept of the “rational consumer” which describes the individual acting out of self-interest… Read More Orange racer: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
