“Special” Fiats have been under the spotlight for years now and some have astronomical prices, however there is still something around with a “human” price. In this case we are technically speaking of a Siata 1500 Coupé, designed by Michelotti but based essentially on Fiat 1500 components: the obvious differences, in addition of course to… Read More Blue on blue / 2: 1963 Siata 1500 Coupé
We are always willing to publish special Fiats, that is all those built by the galaxy of coachbuilders who worked in Turin. In this case we are dealing with a car from 1963, or in the period in which the inexorable decline of the profession of “coachbuilder” began in its highest form, that is to… Read More Affluent coachbuilt: 1963 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Allemano
The seller of this rare Ghia 1500 GT says that 846 cars like this have been built, and that currently 30 survive: we are not sure about this last figure, however we are still talking about a very rare car. Over the years we have seen several 1500 GTs for sale (both in photos and… Read More Golden ticket: 1964 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Ghia
We have often seen replicas of many cars, obviously most of them reproduce the rare and economically unattainable cars, this time however it is different. In fact, it is the first time that we have seen the replica – made with entirely aluminum bodywork – of the same OSCA MT4 1500 made famous by the… Read More Hand made: 1955 O.S.C.A. MT4 Replica
This Fiat 1500 GT Coupé built fifty years ago by Ghia coachworks is said to be one of the 50 imported, back then, by Grimm brothers of Detroit who were the official importer of these special cars. That’s a car which has undergone a restoration process but it needs now to be completed; the good… Read More Mixin’ italians/2: 1967 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
This Fiat 1500, equipped with the twin cam O.S.C.A. engine, features a beautiful patina over its red paint, but it actually was born painted in pale blue. Indeed the previous owner was an enthusiast racer, as all the period badges on the top of the dashboard say, and so he thought that the red paint… Read More Solid patina: 1962 Fiat 1500 O.S.C.A. Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Actually we don’t know if this car was produced in 1962 as the seller didn’t mention its build year, nor if this car has been actually under the sun for many years: the cracked leather of the seats tell us so. The car is covered with dust so ot could also have been stored in a… Read More Sunburnt: 1962 Fiat 1500 OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
The seller of this racing-look MG A 1500 Coupé is actually a Classic Virus reader and, by the way, he told us that he’s also the actual owner of this car which, after many improvements, won the 1st prize (category 1956-1975) at the Antwerp Classic Salon of this year: congratulations both for the car and… Read More Green racer: 1958 MG A 1500 Coupé
The smiling face is, of course, the nose of this 1500S without headlights, front grill and bumper. And that’s because the car is in the early stage of a deep restoration. What is clear is that the restoration of this car wasn’t carried out by professionals but, probably, by the owner itself who tried to… Read More That smiling face/2: 1962 Fiat 1500S OSCA Cabriolet
The first thing that has caught our attention about this car is the beautiful pale blue mated to the striking red leather interiors. Then we realized that this coupé has the OSCA engine too. That’s not the most powerful Fiat OSCA made (like the 1600S 118B): this engine is 100 c.c. smaller and it is fed… Read More Blue meets red: 1961 Fiat 1500 OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
