The idea of a powerful and simultaneously comfortable sedan for at least four people is not new, as we can well see. Today, for those interested in this formula, there is a very wide choice limited only by the spending possibilities, while 50 years ago even being rich, the choices available were very limited. We… Read More Fast in four: 1970 Ford Taunus 20M RS
And here is the eighth episode of the Patina Monster series: this time it is a 190 SL, black and red. This car is in a condition that all classic car enthusiasts want: dry bodywork with no apparent trace of rust (and if there is, it is certainly surface oxidation that has not affected the… Read More Patina monster/8: 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
This car has been in the possession of the current owner for 23 years who says he has never driven it in the rain all this time – not surprising as we would have done the same. It was sold new in Switzerland and then imported to the USA where, in 2015, it received a… Read More Bayou burgundy: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint
These cars, universally known as “Buggies” had their golden age in the sixties and seventies and then fell into oblivion for about thirty years. The idea of building an open body in synthetic material to be connected to the Volkswagen Beetle chassis was by Bruce Meyers, an idea that has been successful as some sources… Read More Real deal: 1961 Meyers Manx
This is the small sister of the 300SL: the 190SL was in fact built in the image and likeness of its older sister but with a price tag that can still be reached by few, but certainly more than those who could afford a 300SL, both coupe and spider. And we must also say that… Read More Little sister: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
We agree that this doesn’t look like the best Typ2 from an aesthetic point of view, yet the seller claims that rust on this bodywork is minimal. In fact apparently the bodywork seems to be made of plaster, probably this is due to the overlapping of layers of paint given over the years (even by… Read More Chalk look: 1958 Volkswagen Typ2 Panel van
Browsing through the ads on the net, it is not that difficult to come across an Abarth 750 from the 1950s or 1960s, however this is not the case with this particular car. This is indeed the Berlinetta version built by Allemano, characterized by a more slender line and above all by the particular shape… Read More Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano
While it is true that rarity in itself does not make a car more desirable, it is equally true that rarity makes a classic car certainly full of charm and, at times, of mystery. This is a very rare “van” version of an Autobianchi Bianchina that had a platform suitable for loading objects as the… Read More Open top: 1968 Autobianchi Bianchina Furgoncino
Exactly, this car is not the real deal but a replica which however seems to be built very well, at least as regards the exterior. But we imagine that the same care was also lavished on all the remaining areas of the car, which was built starting from the chassis of a 1950 Fiat 1100… Read More Swedish red: 1950 Cistalia-Abarth 204 Replica
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
