There is a real cult for microcars, certainly not as widespread as that for “large size” classic cars, yet well rooted among collectors: the car featured in this article is the same model that was exhibited at the Bruce Weiner Microcars Museum, now closed. The car is a Mochet CM-125 Luxe, whose history in brief… Read More No license required: 1951 Mochet CM-125 Luxe
The Samantha, based on the Fiat 125 chassis and engine, is one of the last creation of Vignale and, we think, one of the better ones. Even though it was based on a Fiat, this car was never sold by Fiat dealers and that’s probably why there aren’t many cars around. Moreover, a 1600 c.c.… Read More Twin cam blue: 1969 Fiat 125 S “Samantha” by Vignale
As usual, you can look for months searching a particular car for sale without finding anything, then two or more cars pop out at the same time.

Although it’s called “Fiat”, this coupè was never marketed as a Fiat but sold by independent dealers, not related with Fiat. This because it was designed and built by Vignale in about 100 units in order to fill the market gap of a well priced luxury coupé. So it is actually based on the chassis… Read More Chestnut brown special: 1968 Fiat 125 “Samantha” by Vignale
To be honest, we never heard of Mochet microcars (or cycle-cars) so far but what we see here is quite intriguing. The factory was established soon after WWI but the began to produce this car only in 1953. It has a two-stroke, single cylinder engine with a displacement of 125 c.c. which can push this… Read More Meep Meep: 1956 Mochet Type CM Grand Luxe
This rare Moretti 125 really reminds the Fiat Dino breed: actually the front clip is almost identical to the Fiat Dino Spider while the side line is similar to the coupè. This car is equipped withe the rock solid Fiat twin cam 1.6 litre engine, which is rated at 90 h.p. The seller doesn’t say… Read More Dino wannabe: 1968 Moretti 125 GS 1.6
