This very special roadster is not for sale through a simple announcement, but it is one of the lots of an auction to be held in September, in a beautiful place south of Lisbon, Portugal. The auction is about a fantastic collection of the 130 cars of Mr. Saragga, put together in about thirty years… Read More Later style: 1955 WD Denzel 1300
OSA was the acronym of Officina Specializzata Automobili, a workshop in Naples (Italy) specialized in tuning standard cars, during the 50s and 60s. This workshop was founded by Agostino Accadia who, besides being a mechanic, was also a car driver and one of the cars he drove at the Mille Miglia was a boat based… Read More Approved by the son: 1955 Lancia Aprilia “Mille Miglia” Barchetta by OSA (recreation)
We seem to have already published – a few years ago – a small barchetta similar to this one, red in color, but we didn’t know it with the name Microplas. This company was founded in 1954, also taking advantage of the experience of some partners whose families had produced reinforced plastics for some military… Read More The green barchetta: 1955 Microplas Toledo
We have known this dealer for some time and we know his soft spot towards Italian cars, especially the “special” ones like this Siata (chassis #448BC). On the other hand, he finds us perfectly in agreement: as far as we are concerned if it is Italian, built by hand from 1930 to 1950 in small… Read More Old Motto: 1955 Siata 300 BC
Let’s face it: it is not that finding a 1956 356 for sale is an exceptional thing, however this specimen has its peculiarity. And as you may have guessed, the peculiarity of this car lies in the color in which it was originally painted: it is the “Jadegruen” color or, not in German, “Jade Green”,… Read More Rough stone: 1955 Porsche 356 Coupé
And here, every now and then, another one of these small, elegant coupés comes out, built on a humble but solid base and dressed by a top-tier coachbuilder. The carmaker in question is (or rather, it was) Alfredo Vignale whose career was very eclectic: he built cars for rich industrialists and movie stars but he… Read More Little blue special: 1955 Fiat 600 Rendez Vous by Vignale
“Continental” is a rather irrelevant name for anyone who is not keen on the Porsche 356 series, on the contrary it immediately awakens the fantasies of the followers of what Jeremy Clarkson called “a jumped up Beetle”. Lately we have come across a Continental Coupé, perfectly restored (but not a matching numbers car) for which… Read More Bent windshield: 1955 Porsche 356 Coupé Continental
The latest series of the Lancia Aurelia sedan is represented by the B12 as published here: the car benefited from several improvements such as the De Dion suspension at the rear. A very refined solution which, moreover, was consistent with the Lancia constructive philosophy; unfortunately this philosophy was one of the main reasons that less… Read More De Dion back: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B12
The problem with a fully restored classic car, especially if with very high standards, is the fear of driving it to avoid ruining it: with this 1955 Speedster this problem does not exist. In fact, although apparently seeming (or at least in photos) a very nice car, actually this car would need several repairs that,… Read More Early body: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
A few weeks ago we published a Fiat 1100-103 TV in excellent condition and with a price all in all correct, but this one has an even better price. Like the other car, this is an 1100 TV first series, then Mille Miglia eligible and seems to have been completely restored: as often happens unfortunately… Read More Red roof: 1955 Fiat 1100-103 TV
