We know that this car will certainly not interest a good chunk of our readers, especially Europeans, as cars of this type do not belong to their automotive culture. However, we consider ourselves very democratic: any car, produced in any continent, and of any category, arouses our interest if certain conditions are met. In the… Read More Tuck and roll: 1932 Ford Deuce Coupé
For some years now, many collectors of the cars built in the Portello factory have also been interested in their commercial vehicles, certainly much rarer than their car cousins. We have indeed written several times about how much the models A 11 and F11, or A12 and F12 have been further re-evaluated and how their… Read More Call of duty: 1980 Alfa Romeo F12 Ambulance
All Italian classic car enthusiasts know that there is an underlying problem when it comes to Abarths based on mass-produced Fiat models. In fact, if we talk about an Abarth Record Monza or Bialbero, we know with certainty that at least the bodywork and the interiors are original as it would be uneconomical to reproduce… Read More Snappy red: 1967 Abarth OT 1000 Stradale
The period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s was perhaps the most glorious period for Alfa Romeo, both in terms of sales and sports victories. It is in fact in this decade that Alfa Romeo becomes closer to the “people”: we must never forget that the cars produced by Alfa were certainly not within everyone’s… Read More Green outside: 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
It is not new that the “special” edition Fiat 500 A and B are rare, and this is even more true when it comes to cars set up for work. Many coachbuilders have tried their hand at the construction of bespoke bodies on the frames of these cars that they bought directly from the factory,… Read More Working class: 1948 Fiat 500A “Furgoncino”
We know well that, unlike other markets such as the American one, European cars, especially Italian, did not offer many paid options in the 1950s and 1960s, which is why we were interested in this Flaminia. The first reason for our interest is certainly the state: the dealer says that this car is a survivor,… Read More Loaded: 1963 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pinnfarina
In 1958, 451,526 units of Typ 1 were produced, more generally known as the “Beetle”, compared to this important number, only 9,624 units in the cabriolet version were produced. We are therefore talking about 2% of production built with a soft top and, of course, you can imagine how many of these almost 10k units… Read More Santa Barbara car: 1958 Volkswagen Typ 1 Cabriolet
We know that a Porsche 911 to be restored has almost become a cliché for about ten years, but we have to make exceptions. The first exception on this 911 concerns the fact that it is a so-called “0 series”, which is the first batch of this model sold starting from September 1964 until the… Read More Green spirit: 1965 Porsche 911
“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
When we first saw the ad about this car, its photos, and the asking price, it seemed to us that the seller was asking for a bit of a steep price, until we read more. In fact, the photos concern only one car, the 1750 GT Veloce first series from 1969, in a pine green… Read More Bulk sale: 1969 and 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
