The light work vehicles produced 50 or 60 years ago in Italy were not exclusive to Fiat, but also to the most refined Lancia. They too helped Italy in the post-war economic recovery. In our case, these are two installations carried out on a common platform: that of the Lancia Ardea, a medium-high class sedan… Read More Two trucks: 1952 Lancia Ardea 800 van and pickup
It’s an Alfa Romeo, it’s rare, it’s convertible, it’s a barn find: each of these four elements, taken alone, is worthy of consideration, let alone if taken all together. As for the history of this car, we literally report the seller’s description which is detailed and clarifying: “The first recorded owner of this Pinin Farina… Read More Three nations army: 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900C Cabriolet by Pininfarina
If we find a rare classic car, it is very likely that it will be published by us: let alone a car produced in a single specimen. In this particular case, as has often happened, the manufacturer and coachbuilder have different nationalities: the first is Jaguar, a brand that needs no introduction, the second is… Read More One off cat: 1952 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster by Beutler
One of the best children of the Italian-American collaboration was certainly the Nash Healey, especially in the roadster version. As you can imagine, this is also a rare model as around 150 have been built (although we know how difficult it is to know the exact numbers, especially for smaller manufacturers), and far fewer… Read More Triple black: 1952 Nash-Healey Roadster by Pininfarina
If you are classic cars enthusiasts, you cannot miss Nestor Salerno, an Italian-Argentine who, other than have been a racing car driver, is also one of the best coachbuilders in the world.

We know that most British classic cars do not make crazy prices at professional retailers market or at auctions, however they are not generally “gifted”. Well in this case we find ourselves evaluating an MG TD which, despite apparently acceptable conditions, has an extremely affordable price, even considering some work to be done on the… Read More Inexpensive thrills: 1952 MG TD
In that period between the twenties and the sixties there was an area, bounded on the west by Turin and on the east by Milan, within which the magic of cars happened. This Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “very” special is the testimony of that magic and, if you are still wary, look in Google for… Read More Design daughter: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport by Pininfarina
Today there is a task to be carried out: to understand which car it is, and who made it. It seems that this barchetta, which at first sight appears to be a Giaur 750, has nothing in common with the other Giaur except for the aluminum bodywork. In particular, what perplexes the seller is the… Read More Mystery car: 1952 Patriarca 750 Sport?
We have already talked about classic cars this week in “driver” conditions, but here we propose another one even if completely different from the 2600 Spider. Completely different for everything: year, type and construction philosophy; we have in fact realized that it is difficult to find an Alfa Romeo enthusiast who is also an Porsche… Read More Radium chance: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupé
This is one of the very latest 6C 2500 ever produced and it has not been set up by a coachbuilder like Touring but by the Alfa Romeo body shop. Probably this is one of the last chassis produced and left unsold, and the buyer of the time has had the car set up according… Read More Italian patina: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupé
