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
Once again, the seller of this rare Twin Cam has omitted to report the build year of this MGA, one of the 2,100 produced with the twin cam engine from 1958 to 1960. Other than having a special engine, this car was equipped with a set of steel wheel (no wire wheels on these) and… Read More Steel wheels: 1960 MG A Twin Cam
Although the seller of this 1200 TV Trasformabile says that the car is from 1960, this model was actually produced up to 1959 when it was replaced by the 1200 Spider built by Pininfarina.

This is then only the second time in ten years because this car is extremely rare, mostly because when it came out in 1959 this was an expensive car,… Read More Four eyed: 1959 Abarth 2200 Spider by Allemano
Two days, two California black plate cars: today the car published is not a big shot of the market but nevertheless it’s less lovely than the early Porsche.
