The base of this car is the Fiat 118 series (the one used for the 1500 and 1600 coupés, to be precise), but the bodywork is substantially different. As mentioned earlier, for this special spider, the chassis and engine of the 118 series were used, equipped with the twin-camshaft engine produced by Fiat but designed… Read More White scorpion: 1959 Abarth 1600 Spider by Allemano
This is a very rare car, yet we saw a similar one in person a few years ago and were fascinated by it. Firstly, the name: Cisitalia is a prestigious name in the world of classic cars, but this car is not part of those first models built entirely in the factory founded by Piero… Read More Little but special: 1954 Cisitalia 33DF Voloradente
This car is very rare, and we can imagine the surprise of the current owner when he found it abandoned in the corner of a warehouse in Italy. It’s one of the very few “Sabrina” models, built on a Fiat 600 Multipla base by Carrozzeria Fissore, one of the great Turin coachbuilders of the 1950s… Read More Rare find: 1963 Fiat 600 “Sabrina” by Fissore
The sleek lines of this Fiat Barchetta are very appealing but at the same time left us a bit puzzled: it seemed strange that the body was made in 1956, and indeed, that’s not the case. The seller mentions that this was initially a Barchetta built in 1956 on a Fiat 1100 base, but then… Read More Green team: 1956 Fiat 1100 Barchetta by Autotecnica del Lario
Perhaps not many people know that BMW cars were branded as EMW for about four years, starting from the end of the Second World War. This was because the automobile factory in Eisenach, a city in Thuringia (not Bavaria), housed the Bavarian brand’s car manufacturing facility, which was restarted by the Soviet government. EMW was… Read More Boomer: 1950 BMW/EMW 340-0
Have you ever seen this car before? We hadn’t, we were not aware of its existence, and we thank our reader Kyle for giving us this tip. Donald Healey, whose surname you surely know, used a tuned version of Riley’s twin-cam 2 1/2-litre four-cylinder engine in a light steel box-section chassis of Healey’s own design,… Read More Undercover Riley: 1949 Healey Sportsmobile
“The Porsche that wasn’t” could be defined as the Devin, based on a chassis derived from Porsche or Volkswagen. In this case, it is a car based on a shortened chassis taken from a 1951 Type 1. At that time, and we are talking about the years between the 50s and 60s, there was certainly… Read More Plastic fantastic: 1951 VW-Porsche Devin
Unknown as it has never been seen before, and probably, we won’t see others since this is a unique specimen. The seller mentions that this car was built by students at the Coachbuilders Master School in Kaiserslautern (MHK). After that, it wasn’t used anymore and was in poor condition. Someone from Frankfurt purchased it, but… Read More Unknown: 1968 Auto Union 1000 S Sport Coupe
We have already featured some Abarth Scorpione, including the extremely rare SS version; however, it is always rare to come across one for sale. This is because not only today but also back then, it was an expensive car, probably one of the most expensive considering the price-to-weight ratio. It is indeed a small car,… Read More Signed berlinetta: 1970 Abarth Scorpione 1300 S
Felice Mario Boano, one of the most famous Italian coachbuilders of his time, was the first – while working at Ghia – to propose the ‘Spiaggina’ version based on Fiat utility vehicles. These special versions, without a roof and hood, were intended to be used as tenders for the wealthiest individuals of the time who… Read More Endless summer: 1963 Fiat 500 Elegance by Savio
