First of all the body, which has a lower roof, a fastback tail and two doors only, the body… Read More Wankel attempt: 1971 Citroen M35 by Heuliez
This poor baby has so many problems that, if you look at it from the side, it doesn’t even look like a first series Giulietta Sprint, which it is. That’s because, even though we clearly see that this car has more rust than metal, it also lacks of everything: the glasses all around are gone,… Read More Open air project: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Update, same day: Turns out that the car is a real Carrera GT but this ad is a scam: the true car is for sale at €79k here in Milano, Italy. Santa’s dead, of course. There is an issue here: this Porsche 924 is advertised as a “normal” 924 but the look of the car… Read More Real or not: 1979 Porsche 924 “Carrera GT”

The last thing we’d expect to see was a BMW M1 in the typical “barn find” conditions: dust, flat tires and some stuff covering its nose and roof. But this is it. The former italian owner has driven this car for 7,329 kms and then he left it in a garage; of course something bad has happened… Read More Odd barn find: 1981 BMW M1

This car is said to have been owned by a member of the Cinzano family, the famed italian brand of bitters drinks. Of course it has some special features.

This Sunbeam Venezia (chassis #009/145) is one of the first made and one of the very few cars survived so far: actually this has not survived well but still it is in one piece only.
