Believe it or not, this Giulietta, which has the perfect appearance of a wreck, runs good as the video posted by the seller shows. This shows once again, if proof were needed, the robustness of engines built by Alfa Romeo after the WWII. They were as reliable as the body of these cars were prone… Read More And yet it moves: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Lately it has been difficult to see an SS prepared for historic races, mainly because the value of these cars has quadrupled in the last four years.

We are not uesd to publish articles on tucks but this one is so rare and beautiful that we owe it some rows. These trucks were built by Lancia in Bolzano, far from Torino as there it was their “industrial division”: of course, as for their cars, these trucks were so refined that they look… Read More Tragically famous: Lancia Esatau 864
This relic is what remains of an Intermeccanica called Omega, but the first name given to this model when it came out in 1966 was “Griffith”.

Four headlights, four doors, four seats, four wheels: this is what Maserati offered back then to its clients who wanted something more reliable than the Ghibli. The bad of such choice is that for sure the Quattroporte couldn’t boast the magnificent profile of its coupé sister, but in this car four people could run in… Read More Four of everything: 1969 Maserati Quattroporte
This is the typical former car which is mostly used as parts car by a Ghibli owner: of course it could be entirely rebuilt but in that case it’s up to the new owner to decide if the outcome is worthy of such an effort. Indeed this is a nude shell with the suspensions and the wheels: it… Read More Nude look: 1967 Maserati Ghibli Coupé
We are pretty sure that the Karmann Ghia, particularly the early series, has been rated by the market as the new Porsche 356.

The Asa 1000 is known by Italian cars nuts as “The Little Ferrari” and the reason is simple: the engine is basically one half of a 3000 cc. V12 Ferrari engine less a couple of cylinders. Indeed Ferrari, one of the best marketing men ever existed, accepted to provide ASA with this unit but he… Read More One third of Ferrari: 1965 Asa 1000 GT Coupé
That’s the first time we see a 1500 Ghia painted in this dark red shade: not sure if it’s the original color but it fits this body very well. It’s a project car for sale by one of our favorite seller; they’re specialized in Porsche but often they have also some italian gem like this… Read More Paint everywhere: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
This was the cabriolet version of the latest Simca Aronde model, produced from 1957 to 1962. Bizzarrelly this car was not called “Plein Ciel” (open sky) like its coupé sister. Alle these cars were assembled by Facel Metallon: this complicated assembly process made these cars to cost more than the double of their sedan sisters which shared the… Read More Chasing the sun: 1959 Simca Aronde Sport Océane by Facel
