Never seen before: 1955 DKW / IFA F8 Cabriolet Export by Gläser

There are no errors in the title of the article: this is a 1955 car even though it clearly looks like a car conceived in the 1930s. And there is a reason for this apparent inconsistency. The reason is simple: this is in fact a car from the late 1930s built by the DKW-Audi group… Read More Never seen before: 1955 DKW / IFA F8 Cabriolet Export by Gläser

Twin carb: 1971 BMW 1600 TI Touring

This is a fairly rare BMW, indeed, very rare as not only is it a 1600 TI but it is also a Touring (at least the badges say so) Of course, this car has a much more particular design than its notchback sister, and in fact not everyone likes it, yet, precisely because of its… Read More Twin carb: 1971 BMW 1600 TI Touring

Out in 50 years: 1966 Intermeccanica Italia Coupé

We do not know whether to call this Intermeccanica “Torino” or “Italia”: the first name was in fact contested by Ford as it was its registered trademark. In any case, whether this car has the first or the second name, it seems that this particular car has a peculiar history: the seller says in fact… Read More Out in 50 years: 1966 Intermeccanica Italia Coupé

Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato

We have already seen an Appia in its convertible version, so there is nothing wrong with seeing one converted by Zagato. It is in fact a GTE, characterized by the longer wheelbase of its “Sport” saddles and by a general greater resemblance to its big sister, the Flaminia built by Zagato which in common has… Read More Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato

Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Ok, we imagine that at first glance you may look at this ad and think “What am I supposed to do with this wreck?” This question would make perfect sense if the car in question was an Appia Convertible belonging to the third series, this instead belongs to the second series and this means three… Read More Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Top tier: 1965 Abarth OT 1600

We did not know of the existence of this model: in fact we knew the OT 2000 called by the nickname “Monster”, this is the smaller sister. In fact, it seems that very few specimens of this model (technically called 102 / B) were built: this model had to be purchased directly from the racing… Read More Top tier: 1965 Abarth OT 1600

The open one: 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi

To those unfamiliar with cars it seems that making a spider version is easy: just saw off the roof and add a soft top but we know that this is not the case at all. The lack of the roof compromises the torsional rigidity of the chassis so, by eliminating the roof, it is necessary… Read More The open one: 1983 Ferrari 512 BBi

Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro

We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is… Read More Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro

Roman citizen: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint

Sold new and aged in the same place, this could be the short story of this Giulietta Sprint. It is in fact a specimen which, although it is not rare in itself (in relative terms, of course) has the rarity of having been sold new in Rome in 1965, and has remained in the Italian… Read More Roman citizen: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint

More than patina: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé

“Patina” is a term that is too often overused: it is in fact used for a wide range of conditions, from the perfectly preserved and original car to the one that has rust holes. In the case of this Porsche 356 (chassis #57011) we are talking about patina but in reality there is a lot… Read More More than patina: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
