One of the problems that often happens to those who are restoring a Spider Veloce is the absence of the original engine. There is the possibility of finding them around but often at extremely high prices: here instead we have a cheaper option. The engine is that of a second series Veloce produced starting from… Read More Spare Bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce Engine and Transmission
When it comes to the rarity of a classic car, the mind immediately flies to important pieces such as Ferrari or Maserati, but rarely does one think of a Fiat. Instead, it is precisely among the latter that there are such rare models that, if you own one like this, you will probably be the… Read More Very rare bird: 1955 Fiat 1100 TV by Fissore
The fiat 600 is a very small car, and it is obviously for this reason that it was designed with only two doors, but obviously someone did not agree with this choice. That “someone” was Francis Lombardi, owner of the homonymous Piedmontese body shop that in the following years became known above all for his… Read More Two more doors: 1959 Fiat 600 Lucciola by Francis Lombardi
The bigger sister of the Giulia Spiders is also the rarest, with just over a thousand copies produced, so it is difficult to come across an example for sale.

The color is black and now opaque while the interior is red: a very nice combo color even if, unfortunately, not original. In fact, the seller says that, according to the certificate of origin, the original color is Lavender Gray, a color that does not contrast the red as much as black and yet it… Read More Faded black: 1953 jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
According to what the seller writes, this car would like to be a replica of the 1955 Alfa 750 Competizione but, apart from the type of bodywork, it is very different: we consider it more a ‘citation’ than a real replica. However, there are some appreciable aspects: the seller says that this car was built… Read More Citation: 1980 Alfa Romeo Barchetta
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.
