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. His workshop has been in the business for years and deals with restorations and constructions of replicas very faithful to the originals: this… Read More Half italian: 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 “Fianchi Stretti” Replica
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
We know this car (chassis #SL0168): it is a rare car in itself, then it has a spectacular color combo so it’s easy to spot it around the world. The first time we saw it in flesh was six years ago, in Italy. When we saw it back then, the car was already restored… Read More Green aluminium: 1952 Siata Daina Trasformabile by Farina
This Simca 8 Cabriolet (chassis #867363) has its typical aluminium body which can’t rust, of course, but it needs a lot of work ayway, along with other parts which are missing. The seller says that this car is to restore or it can be used as parts car: maybe ten years ago he would have… Read More Disunited unity: 1952 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet by Farina
Although being named with “Sports”, this model was actually a tourer (not even fast) built by Jensen with an aluminium skin: few of these survive today. Jensen built the bodies of these little cabriolets, then send them to Austin which completed the assembly of the car: it is said that 4,000 of these car were… Read More Jensen touch: 1952 Austin A40 Sports
