There is little doubt: German cars fared strong in the USA in the 1960s while being far less powerful than an American car sold for the same price. Perhaps due to the exotic charm, perhaps due to the period counterculture that elected Volkswagen (literally “people’s car”) as its representative on four wheels, the fact is… Read More Red find: 1965 Volkswagen Typ 1 Convertible
Of course, you can’t say much differently about a car that, in addition to being rare, has been in the same family for more than 40 years and raced in Lime Rock in 1982, at least from what the seller says. It is a 750 and has a double bubble on the roof, the seller… Read More Family friend: 1958 Abarth 750 by Zagato
Generally speaking, the typical characteristics of a car that is defined as a “barn find” are those of a car that has not been used for many years, with a substantially sound body and complete with all its parts. Anything that does not satisfy these conditions is simply scrap. In this specific case, the car… Read More Swedish red: 1970 Volvo 1800E
We knew that Morgan was not new to the production of three-wheeled vehicles, however we were not familiar with this particular model which dates back as far as 1923. Cars that have “little” bodywork tend to age less prematurely as everything that equips these vehicles is attributable to the combination of form and function, and… Read More Big twin, small car: 1923 Morgan Anzani Aero

Briefly, the E9 series, which is the flagship series of BMW production between the end of the 60s and the mid-70s, was practically ignored by the world… Read More Polaris and blue: 1971 BMW 3.0 CSi
Interceptor is the name given in the 1960s to the engines installed on police cars for pursuit: the most famous is the 428 cubic inch one first installed by Bob Tasca Sr. on the second series Mustang. Shelby also did not miss the opportunity to use this engine for “his” Mustangs: initially it was thought… Read More Interceptor: 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500
When we talk about being “different” we certainly are not referring to this Ferrari 250 GT which is a rare car in itself and therefore different from the others in itself. Rather, we are referring to a detail that may escape at first glance. But let’s take a step back for a brief description of… Read More Being different: 1959 Ferrari 250 GT Coupé by Pininfarina
52 years is a long time for many things in a man’s life, let alone when it comes to owning a car: personally the most I managed to own a car was 4 years. In this case, in fact, the owner of this GTA Junior says that this rare car has been in his possession… Read More 49 years ownership: 1969 Alfa Romeo GTA Junior
Let’s face it: this is the 914 that everyone would have wanted (50 years ago), but of course there is a reason. The reason was strategic: although this model is commonly identified as a Porsche, it is actually a Volkswagen with Porsche DNA and if it had mounted a more powerful engine than the 100… Read More Six but bigger: 1971 Volkswagen-Porsche 914/6
