The mother of the Shelby Cobra was not born with a V8 inside but with a sophisticated inline-six, twin cam engine like the one which pushes this car (chassis #BEX1071) which is said to have been off-road since 1978. As you can see the body is made of aluminium and, during the restoration project (not… Read More Bare metal: 1959 ACE Bristol Roadster
We had to do it. This is not the typical car we publish here but, as long as this ad will for sure enter in the “eBay Best Of”, we too wanted to be there. This custom was born as a Jaguar E-Type 2+2 but then something happened: “Hi to all, my name is peter… Read More Best of: 1968 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 “Custom”
This could be called “Seller’s friend submission” as who gave us this tip is actually a friend of the seller who is parting out with his three owners Junior Zagato. The car is said to be very original with a couple of exception: the steering wheel comes from a 1600 (and we understand why: the original… Read More Original yellow: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior by Zagato
Although the seller of this 1200 TV Trasformabile says that the car is from 1960, this model was actually produced up to 1959 when it was replaced by the 1200 Spider built by Pininfarina. The 1200 TV Trasormabile is a less valuable car than its predecessor, the 1100 TV which had a lot of flamboyant details,… Read More Wired: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
We always liked who thinks “out of the box” like the builder of this roadster based on the solid Porsche 944 components: the transaxle Porsche is indeed known as a car with a great handling, in this case it had a new dress. The builder of this car is Ronald Heijnsdijk in his shop, now… Read More Dutch oddball: 1985 Heynsdyk 2500 SF
The seller says that this car is a very easy project as its body is plenty of dime-size issues which can be easily fixed: more than a project, we see a car which can be driven as is. Actually the true bug of this car is that the engine block and cylinder head match each… Read More A matter of dime: 1953 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
The body is right, interiors are right, engine is right too on this rare Indy with the 4.9 liters engine of which only 300 were made from 1971 to 1975. The only “detail” which purists will not like about this particular car is that it is equipped with a Borg-Warner three speed gearbox, honestly not the… Read More Auto burgundy: 1972 Maserati Indy 4.9
Sometimes we’re pretty astonished by how many 356 still in restorable conditions keep coming out from nowhere, even after 20 and more years of huge revaluation, and this one is one of those. That’s a 356 SC (chassis #130685), the most powerful model of the 356 breed (with the obvious exception of the ultra rare… Read More Black and white: 1965 Porsche 356 SC
This Duetto 1750 is actually a rare car as not many of these have been built with this displacement which is, according to many, the best road engine of the sixties. I personally had a GT 1750 Velce and that’s actually an extraordinary unit, plenty of power and with a revvy character, so no doubt… Read More Mauled: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
Lately we’ve seen an increasing interest around the 1900 even if this is a four door car, aybe that’s because this car still belongs to the golden era of Alfa Romeo. Indeed it is pushed by the glorious 1900 c.c. DOHC engine, the father of the great “Bialbero” family lasted for over 50 years: the… Read More Nardi equipped: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina
