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
That’s the first time we see a 1500 Ghia painted in this dark red shade: not sure if it’s the original color but it fits this body very well. It’s a project car for sale by one of our favorite seller; they’re specialized in Porsche but often they have also some italian gem like this… Read More Paint everywhere: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia
If what the seller says is true, this car could be the one and only Fiat 1500 Ghia on this world driven by the same owner from new. By the way this car has a curious story: the seller says that he bought it from Incar, the Fiat agent of Rhodesia (the south-african country now… Read More One owner only: 1965 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia

Update, October 8: Almost a record sale for this car which seems to have been sold in one day. We have published another 1500 Ghia for sale here: in that case the car was in beautiful shape although it missed the front badge; in this case the car is in worse conditions but it has a… Read More Tired lady: 1964 Fiat 1500 GT Coupé by Ghia

According to the seller, this early barchetta was built by (or based on the design of) Armando Palanca, and built on the chassis, engine and suspensions of a 1940 Fiat 1500 6C. Armando Palanca, not known by most people, was an italian aeronautical engineer (perhaps the top-notch back then) who worked with the team which… Read More No rain, no gain: 1940 Fiat 1500 6C by Palanca
