This Giulietta Spider is said to be a 1959 but, as the chassis number is 1495*472, we suspect that is a very early swb, probably a ’56. The seller says that this is a former racer which joined many events like Watkins Glen, Belmont, Lime Rock and many others: he says that the car got a… Read More Former racer granny: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
This Giulietta Sprint 750b (chassis #3088) looks like a stalled project. The work done is nothing like a total restoration but a serious “make up”. Indeed the paint looks good (don’t ever trust photos to judge a paint job) but the undercarriage looks original and with some traces of rust but, from here, it looks like… Read More Texan red italian: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Once upon a time there was a superb and elegant coupè called 1900 C Super Sprint, usually driven by jet-set people who liked the ialian style. Now it’s sad and rotten, but for sure it will find a saviour. This is the last series (3rd) of the 1900 family, which has the best look and… Read More Once upon a time: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint by Touring
We have always liked the factory “lowrider” look of this car, not only for the height from the ground but also for its beautiful reverse channel wheels, usually painted in contrast with the rest of the car. It’s called Renault 4CV and it was produced from 1946 to 1961, but it was however secretely designed by Renault… Read More Factory slammed: 1956 Renault 4CV

We’ve read so many stories about cars parked many years because of whatever reason, nut we never read of a car parked 40 years because of a bad water pump: this is what the seller says. And, we must admit that it’s the first time we see a Willys with road specifications: never seen one before… Read More My loss, your gain: 1956 Willys Jeep 2WD
In the classic car world there’s no any bigger cliché than a Porsche 356 carried out of a garage, even better if covered with patina. About this car, we are on the edge between “patina” and “wreck”, but at last we are more oriented towards the first term. The seller says that this car has… Read More The european job: 1956 Porsche 356A Cabrio
This little fiberglass spider has been built putting toghether a Trojan body with a Cheetah front end. This is a long project as the seller provides also a bunch of period photos describing the work performed on it through the years. The frame is made of square steel tubes. The seller says also that the… Read More Mini Cobra: 1956 Cheetah Bangert/Trojan Custom
To the collective imagination the name “Aurelia” means sport, coupè, spider or Touring. But, before all these models, there was an Aurelia built for executives or affluent family men. Indeed this is a four door, six seats fastback pushed by the Lancia V6, the first V6 engine ever made, designed by engineer Francesco De Virgilio. Few,… Read More Family man’s V6: 1956 Lancia Aurelia B12
To be honest, we never heard of Mochet microcars (or cycle-cars) so far but what we see here is quite intriguing. The factory was established soon after WWI but the began to produce this car only in 1953. It has a two-stroke, single cylinder engine with a displacement of 125 c.c. which can push this… Read More Meep Meep: 1956 Mochet Type CM Grand Luxe
