We agree with the seller of this 356 A Cabrio (chassis #151513) about the fact that while Speedsters and Convertible D are often on the market while that’s not the same for the A Cabrio: this is one of the last made and that’s actually in good shape. That doesnt’ mean that with some tlc… Read More Floors and top: 1959 Porsche 356A T2 Cabrio
This Giulietta SS is being sold as you see it: basically that’s a bare shell with wheels and nothing more than that. What’s actually interesting is that this car is said to be the 12th car ever produced (chassis #AR10120*0012) The seller says that this car has been imported from Venezuela and that’s not a… Read More Number 12: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale

The sticker on the rear bumper is clear: “Who has the gold makes the rule”. Well, you need gold to rebuild this car but it’s a “Lowlight” KG Cabrio and it’s definitely worth it.

This red Triumph TR3 A is said to be a barn find purchased from the previous owner and then driven home where it is now. It starts and drives but needs “everything”. Indeed it seems an “honest” car although, of course, these british cars are well known to be prone to rust: there is some… Read More Starts and runs: 1959 Triumph TR3 A
