This is a fully-fledged French car but it has a lot of Italian in it: starting with the line, designed by Pininfarina, and ending with the engine derived from Fiat. It must also be said that Facel-Metallon has never made one regret the Italian bodywork: this was a really well built car thanks also to… Read More French aluminium: 1951 Simca 8 Sport
This MT4 (chassis # 1148) has been locked in a garage for 46 years, more than half of its life, which began in 1954. Only 78 MT4s have been built and most of them are unknown as these cars were bought to be driven on the track or in road races, so it’s easy to… Read More Red gem: 1954 OSCA MT4
It is not easy to find a classic car that is sold new and has remained in the same city, or at least around it. The above is the brief history of this Fiat 600 bodied by Viotti in the “Granluce” version: not rare and not even as beautiful as its sister Coupé, but certainly… Read More Same place, different car: 1962 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti
We do not know if this specimen is one of the last with a short wheelbase or one of the first with a long wheelbase, the only thing we know is that it needs a lot of work. Although, to be honest, the most important work to do on this specimen is to understand which… Read More Red puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
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
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
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
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
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
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
