The person who published the ad for the sale of this 280 C is not the owner of it, but a friend of his who helped him to advertise it. We would go straight to the point: we can’t know if this car hides some serious flaws but if it doesn’t, this car is a… Read More For a friend: 1974 Mercedes-Benz 280 C
They are not all barn finds: there are also field finds as in the case of this very special Fiat 500C. In fact, the seller says that this car was found abandoned in a field at the end of the 90s and then, after various vicissitudes, restored in the livery you see now. It should… Read More Field find: 1954 Fiat 500C Cassonato by Grazia
If life gives you lemons, make a lemonade. We would say instead that if it gives you a lime like this then drive it. The seller says that this Mustang painted in Lime Gold is an actual GT390 as it came from the factory and that, indeed, all the metal panels are the original ones… Read More Fresh lime: 1967 Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback
Body made of aluminum, red, original black plate and in apparently perfect condition: need to ask for more? There are not many of these cars belonging to the first series (type 818.132) of the berlinetta built by Zagato, at the end of its golden years, on the winning basis of the Lancia Fulvia Coupé. This… Read More Red Peraluman: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
In the last few years we have noticed a growing esteem for those classic cars that once would have been considered simply abominations: body of the time with high-performance engines and suspensions. Perhaps the first to go down this path were the British guys at Eagle who built E-Types (and Aston) with those upgrades that,… Read More Honest outlaw: 1964 Porsche 356 C Coupé
It’s nice to see cars like this coming up for sale: until a few years ago there were so many but now it seems that they have almost disappeared from the market. We are clearly talking about very special models produced in very few specimens for which we have survived a few, very few. As… Read More Rare bird: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
Yes, we know he is mostly known as “Beetle” but we like to play the part of those who know things from time to time, please forgive us. So this car has several very interesting features: the first, as the title says, is that it has only 4,700 miles driven new and that it was… Read More 4,700 Miles: 1977 Volkswagen Typ1 Cabriolet
There are fewer and fewer of these cars, and we don’t mean the model so much as the chance of finding one to restore according to your own standards. But this raises another question: When is a restoration really worth doing? In fact, compared to a few years ago (and we tell you this by… Read More Less and less: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
This 356 SC is no longer in the possession of the previous owner as it has been confiscated and auctioned off on July 20: it is rare to find classic cars that suffer this fate. It must be said that in recent years the SCs have experienced a surge in prices but in particular the… Read More Foreclosed: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet
Actually we lacked this: we knew that in the 50s and 60s Fissore coachworks had also collaborated with DKW but we did not know this model that we see here for the first time. The front of this car is not new to us: the same scheme was also used on a special version of… Read More Southern coachbuilt: 1965 DKW 1000 by Fissore
