That’s the very first time that we see a job like this made on a Lancia Fulvia Coupé. Generally seeing a work like this on italian cars is quite odd, with the exception of some very particular cars like the Maserati Ghibli 115 or the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. But in those cases who made… Read More A cooler summer: 1972 Lancia Fulvia 1300s “Spider”
It’s not usual to see a mid fifties tow truck based on a Fiat 1100 chassis but for sure once found, you can be sure that all the eyes along the street will be yours. Many of these tow trucks were made back then but of course they cannot tow a big weight so they… Read More Tow with style: 1955 Fiat 1100 Tow truck
When you think to a german classic car to restore, a BMW is not the first idea that comes to your mind, both because generally the most famous BMW were made beginning from the ’70s and because the bavarian badge has not the same appeal of Mercedes or Porsche. There are however some ’60s BMW… Read More Not the usual project: 1963 BMW 3200 CS by Bertone
The first impression we had of this car, once seen the (blurry) photo taken from the front end, was of a Borgward Isabella, then we found out that this is her cousin, built by the Borgward subsidiary, the Goliath-Werke Borgward & Co. This car appeared at the 1957 Geneva motor show and it was produced until 1958, when it… Read More Isabella’s cousin: 1958 Goliath Kombi 1100 Estate
Fuldamobil is the name of a micro car series produced by Elektromaschinenbau Fulda GmbH of Fulda, Germany, and Nordwestdeutscher Fahrzeugbau (NWF) of Wilhelmshaven between 1950 and 1969. Not many of these were sold in the past but their shape often attracted a lot of attention of the specialized media. The formula was the usual one: three… Read More Space age egg: 1959 Fuldamobil Fram King S7
This lowlight Karmann Ghia is said to be a one family car since new, and indeed it looks like an untouched specimen, including the period tires, the black CA plate and the original dealer plate frame. The seller has provided a very detailed description, partitioned in chapters for every area of the car. It comes… Read More One family car: 1958 Karmann Ghia Coupé
To completion of the photo reports posted some days ago, here is a video of the second start, saturday 21st of june. Enjoy.
Nowadays we use to see a lot of abandoned cars covered by a one finger-tall layer of dirt and dust, and that is defined as “patina”. This early 356 (chassis #51465) is not dusty but indeed it has the real patina. The seller says basically that this car is a survivor: he indeed says that this… Read More Patina is not dust: 1953 Porsche 356 Coupé
We’ve seen many variations made on the great VW, however we must admit that this customisation has been made with great taste and attention to historical details. Of course the owner/customiser has tried to backdate this Combi as the little taillights show, he also put older wheels and used a typical early ’60s color combo. The… Read More Beach cruiser included: 1970 Volkswagen Combi
We believe that Italy was the only place on hearth where someone could think to build a twin cam engine powered van, and that place was Arese, just outside Milano, in a factory called Alfa Romeo. Indeed this van (along with others like Romeo 1° and 2°) is powered by the same single carburetor of the… Read More Twin cam van: 1968 Alfa Romeo F12
