This Lancia Aurelia is said to be a one-off built by Bertone on a B52 chassis, and exhibited at the 1951 Turin Motor Show. But the really remarkable thing about this special car (chassis B52. 1074, engine B21.4542) is that it is said to be completely original and to have traveled – brace yourselves –… Read More Time capsule: 1951 Lancia Aurelia B52 Coupé by Bertone
We have written it on other occasions and we will never tire of repeating it: we are fascinated by fiberglass cars, those built in small series by enthusiasts who wanted to build the car of their dreams. Sometimes it wasn’t even small series: the seller says that this car, called Karu de Carrera (a name… Read More Unknown: 1952 Karu de Carrera
All Alfa Romeos built in the period just before or just after the Second World War are worthy of particular interest, but this one is a little more. The reason is simple: the seller claims that this car has only driven 6,000 kilometers (just under 4,000 miles) from new, which would be extraordinary. Indeed, at… Read More Brand new: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Berlina
Porsche convertibles up to m.y. 1953 are rare, very rare. And if we add rarity to the well-known marketability of vintage Porsches, very important values begin to jump out. What we see here is even a car from 1952 (chassis # 15051), and here we begin to enter the elite of classic Porsches, especially because,… Read More Former Adriablau: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabriolet

We can only… Read More Mini rig: 1952 Fiat 500C Furgoncino
This little Italian Barchetta was one of the greatest protagonists of the golden age of the cars called Sport, and it seems to have arrived among us in almost original condition. The seller Indeed says this car has been in hiding for 45 years during which it has been owned by the same family it… Read More Higly original: 1952 Siata 300 BC
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
