There are still some around in unrestored condition, but here comes the dilemma: spend the money on the restoration or buy a restored one? Between the two alternatives, at the end of the day, there is no difference. Differently from a few years ago, when original spare parts could be found (much better than that… Read More Rough steel: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
More than three million Fiat 600s were produced in ten years, but very few were dressed by famous coachbuilders. And of those few made, very few have reached us, including this beautiful two-tone specimen which still has the scent of originality in many of its parts which, in fact, are not perfect. In fact, the… Read More Two tone era: 1958 Fiat 600 by Monterosa
It’s amazing how, despite the cleanup of all the barns and backyards done in the last 15 years, cars like this still pop out. This Giulietta Spider Veloce swb (chassis AR1495F.09918), certainly the most coveted of the series together with its bigger sister Giulia, was in fact taken off the road in 1969 and bought… Read More Red project: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
The fact that most Italian classic cars are red is nothing more than a myth built over the years, a myth that has a precise origin. The myth is linked to the fact that until the 1960s, road cars that participated in official races had to have colors established by regulations: red for the Italians,… Read More Humphreys’ car: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Although it looks like one of the many Giulietta Spider that you see around, this is a Veloce and it is also the swb version, so it is rarer than you imagine. The most “precious” of this series is that of 1957 as it seems, at least by consulting Fusi’s book, that in the first… Read More Short and grey: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
We agree that this doesn’t look like the best Typ2 from an aesthetic point of view, yet the seller claims that rust on this bodywork is minimal. In fact apparently the bodywork seems to be made of plaster, probably this is due to the overlapping of layers of paint given over the years (even by… Read More Chalk look: 1958 Volkswagen Typ2 Panel van
When Italian classic car enthusiasts hear the name “Appia Vignale” they naturally think of the convertible version: they would be surprised to see this sedan instead. We collected out thoughts but this actually seems to us the first time we see this model offered for sale: we remember having seen it in a book about… Read More Subtle coachbuilt: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina by Vignale
Whoever commissioned this replica must be a true enthusiast of the brand, at least judging by the care with which it was made (and certainly by how much it was spent). 595 Abarth engine derived from original conversion kit, vintage bucket seats, Bilstein suspensions (17-inch inverted-eye leaf springs, shock absorbers), Fergat rims, electronic ignition with… Read More Blue bug: 1958 Fiat 500N Monza Record replica
Although not the first to be released, the Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde is certainly a very rare car. Of course, it is less rare than the convertible version (we found one in the USA a few years ago, in a rather poor state) but it remains a model of which today only a few… Read More Raspberry & cream: 1958 Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde
It hasn’t been long (about a month) since we last released a similar vehicle, but to be honest we don’t mind repeating ourselves as this one seems in better condition than the first one. Apart from the rarity of the vehicle, obviously, with regard to this Appia it is worth pointing out that – according… Read More One family rig: 1958 Lancia Appia Cassonato
