Well, our opinion is that this Giulietta SWB, more than a bargain, is too good to be true. However, sending an email doesn’t cost anything but a couple of minutes of your day. Indeed here we have a Giulietta in need of a total restoration: body, engine, interiors, trims, chrome, everything must be disassembled, cleaned,… Read More Autumn bargain: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Update, same day: Alex, a faithful reader, italian classic car connoisseur and collector, has found a period photo of the 1949 edition of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este where there can be seen a car similar, very similar to this one. The caption says that the car is made by Colli and that’s painted in… Read More Huge price-weight ratio: 1938 Fiat 500A barchetta by Colli
This sand beige swb 911 (chassis #11835733) seems in a fair condition and actually the seller says that is a usable car, but recently it had some brakes problems so the seller suggest to bring a trailer. The paint of this car should be the first one: the dull aspect and some cracks on it… Read More Vintage sand: 1968 Porsche 911
It can happen to stumble upon on a very expensive, and very rare, original Abarth engine but it’s extremely rare to find a Nardi engine like this one for sale. As you know, the power of every engine resides in the head, so many of the period tuning kit consisted in head, carburetors and a… Read More The tuning experience: Fiat 600 “Nardi” engine
Watching how simple and straight is this car, of course the mind recalls something like the Porsche 356 Speedster. Indeed this car too has an air cooled engine. This car is equipped with a 850 c.c. flat-twin, air cooled engine producing 40 h.p: not a powerhouse for sure, but with this car power is not the… Read More French speedster: Panhard Dyna Junior X87
This is “just” a type 101 Giulia Sprint, but it has been put down in a very pleasant way: the only thing that it needs is to be driven, nothing else. It was sold new in Milano in March 1960 and there it stayed until someone bring it to UK: there it has been overhauled… Read More Just drive: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint
Actually we don’t know if this car is from 1962: for sure its birth year, if not 62, is very close as these cars were made from 57 to 63 but they had the “big” taillights only from 1959, when they began to be built by Viotti. Moreover, we believe to have spotted the number three… Read More Missing engine: 1962 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina

The car posted here is a rare bird, unfortunately, like many CL ads, there is one only photo to discuss about: the one above. At least we can publish a photo (of a coupé) where you can have an idea of what this car could be once restored. It’s a very pretty little car with a… Read More Rough but rare: 1957 Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde
We can’t find anything so wrong with this car, at least from what we can see from the photos, but the point is: who goes east to inspect the car? It’s a 1959 Giulia Spider which, as it can be seen, has wrong wheels but that’s not a problem: the car looks like a Giulia (1600 cc.) and… Read More Long way east: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
