The history of Volkswagen during the Second World War and in the years immediately following is complex and has many dark sides or in any case little known if not by the greatest experts of the brand. One of these is the vehicle rebuilding program set up by the US army immediately after the war,… Read More Commander’s bug: 1947 Volkswagen Typ 1
It is often difficult to find interesting classic cars for sale, indeed, the more time passes the more difficult this task becomes. Until a handful of years ago we found many cars which, despite not having high prices, were cars on which we would have bet all our pennies and often, very often, time has… Read More Preserved silver: 1947 Fiat 1100S Mille Miglia
Update, same day This is a scam: A reader told us that the real owner of the car never put the vehicle up for sale and he will never do so: be careful if you see the same car popping somewhere for sale again. ****************************** Too bad for the presence of only one (bad quality)… Read More Mega rare: 1947 Fiat 500C “Panoramica” by Zagato
We are well aware that not everyone is passionate about this car, in fact, many have a true repulsion for it. Yet, we can certainly say that there is an automotive world before Typ 1 and a world after its introduction, not so much for its lines that have long since become iconic, but also… Read More Banana bumpers: 1947 Volkswagen Typ 1
The seller of this very rare car which, including us, few know, has been rather stingy in the description; consequently we will try to fill these gaps. The point is that it is not only this model that is rare (as it is produced in only 45 units), but the entire production of this mysterious… Read More 1 of 45: 1947 HRG Aerodynamic

At a first sight we believed this car to be a modern… Read More Never on the market: 1937 Fiat 500B Sport Barchetta
The years across the Word War II were those which saw the birth of the most luxurious cars even made, and for “luxurious” we mean the bespoke craftsmanship and the attention to details. One of the best example of this philosophy is this Alfa 2500 Cabriolet built by Farina coachworks in 1947: it is said… Read More Déco luxury: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Farina
For the uninitiated, these Cisitalia weren’t built by one coachbuilder only: actually they were built both by Pininfarina and Vignale but unfortunately we son’t now this detail maybe because the car is missing its fender badges. The seller says that this is a very early car since it has a split windscreen, the engine type… Read More Needs love: 1947 Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet
The seller says that he bought this car 12 years ago from the US in order to restore it, but clearly something went wrong in the meantime. He says that the car has basically no rust but the problem is that the upper part of the engine is missing: we don’t know if it’s possible… Read More Beheaded V4: 1947 Lancia Ardea
Here it comes another basically unknown barchetta from the past: this one, bodied by Frua, is another car based on a Fiat 1100 platform. The seller says that this is an original barchetta by Frua and as proof of this he has published a period photo of this car where is clearly visible the same original black… Read More Bulky face: 1947 Fiat 1100 Barchetta by Frua
