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
The seller of this barchetta built on a 1937 Fiat 500 says that he purchased this car in Italy some years ago as a full project, he restored it and that this is the first time that this car is on the market. 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
It’s not the first time we see a car (or more than one) which is leaved in a garage soon after having been restored: this time the protagonist is a 1947 MG TC. The seller says that this car is stored in his mom’s house which is going to be sold: of course this is… Read More Restored then forgotten: 1947 MG TC “Twin spare”
Two Alfa’s today. This time our “one car per working day” has been missed, but this one’s too interesting to let it go. It’s a 1947 Freccia D’Oro (“Golden Arrow”) from the same seller of the 2500 GT posted some days ago. A lot of work is needed here: bottom-up and front to rear, btu… Read More Post-war class: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “Freccia D’Oro”
