Surely this car will have been amazed to see how the world has changed during the 38 years during which it has been locked in a Texas garage collecting dust. Unlike the surrounding world, however, she hasn’t changed much: a nice layer of dust still covers her but underneath there is still a healthy car,… Read More Lost in time: 1972 Dino 246 GT
There is certainly not a long description of this car by its current owner, probably a man of few words. Too bad because this little spider is a fairly rare car, in fact it is a model already published by us on other occasions but often the car was in better condition than this: it… Read More No brakes: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
All fans of classic cars like patina: if it develops on a black surface, it is even more fascinating. The surface we are talking about belongs to a Jaguar XK 140 model DHC: it is the more “civilized” spider version, less extreme than the OTS (the one with “low” doors, so to speak) but always… Read More Dark matter: 1955 Jaguar XK 140 DHC
For the “Barn Finds” series here is a particular car: it is a Mustang like many others but unlike most others it is a Shelby GT 350.

Let’s stay in France also today as we found a very interesting car, both in terms of model and price. The Duetto 1750, in fact, with the type 541 engine, was the latest evolution of that iconic car made famous by the film “The Graduate”, starring Dustin Hoffman: in the case of the film it… Read More Think green: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
We haven’t published many of these cars, but when we do we always have doubts as this car has been (and still is) always called differently, using more or less the same words. René Bonnet Djet, Matra Bonnet Djet, Matra Sports Djet, Matra Sports Jet are the variants with which this model is called: we,… Read More Many names: 1964 Matra Djet 5
This is the story, somehow already heard before, of a Giulietta Sprint which, together with four other Alfa Romeos, was buried in a warehouse forty years ago. It is all well explained in this article by Hagerty dating back to last June. Long story short: forty years ago the owner of these cars died and… Read More 40 years entombed: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
The puzzled look you see in the photo is that of the nose of a Studebaker Avanti R2, the most powerful version of this family of American cars. This was in fact a car conceived in a very modern way: a sporty-looking coupe, capable of carrying four people even for long journeys but at the… Read More Two options: 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2
The BMW E9 series is one of those that has had one of the biggest revaluations in the past decade, yet these are complex cars. Complex and expensive to repair, both as regards the bodywork and the engine and transmission: they were the supercars of the 70s and, in fact, they had a build quality… Read More Cheap and chic: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
