Around 76,000 examples of this van were produced between 1950 and 1965, yet very few are seen around today. The main reason is that these vehicles were intended for “business” users or for police, firefighters and hospitals and consequently they were exploited to exhaustion, so at the end of their professional life there was nothing… Read More Business ready: 1960 Peugeot D4
Yes, there are holes almost everywhere on the bodywork, evidently this car was parked outdoors or under a shed, probably also with holes in it. However, under that layer of rust that you see there is still a 190 SL which, according to the seller, has matching numbers and also has a hard top, an… Read More Hole in the pocket: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL
We know well that, among the dozens of Piedmontese shops active until the 1960s, Fissore was the most specialized in the reworking of vans or vehicles for professional use. We were therefore not surprised, on the one hand, to find for sale this very special 600 Mutipla, nicknamed “Sabrina” by the Turin coachbuilder. On the… Read More Special van: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla “Sabrina” by Fissore
One of the problems that often happens to those who are restoring a Spider Veloce is the absence of the original engine.

The engine is that of a second series Veloce produced starting from… Read More Spare Bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce Engine and Transmission

Black is a color that according to me gives a lot to this car:… Read More Black shade: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
In a period in which the off-road vehicle market is very strong, it is not a surprise to see the restored classic vehicles, which are part of this category. Some of these classic off-road vehicles are unknown to us, just like this Renault Colorale 4×4 from 1960, although we understand that this model was produced… Read More Country coral: 1960 Renault Colorale 4×4
Browsing through the ads on the net, it is not that difficult to come across an Abarth 750 from the 1950s or 1960s, however this is not the case with this particular car. This is indeed the Berlinetta version built by Allemano, characterized by a more slender line and above all by the particular shape… Read More Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano
We could not fail to publish this wonderful Alfa Romeo pickup truck based on the “Romeo 2 °” model as it is the first time we see one. In fact, we thought that these pickups were only a prerogative of the A12 model while the Romeo 2 ° was built only in the “closed” version:… Read More Patina monster/7: 1960 Alfa Romeo “Romeo 2°” Cassonato
We may not be the only ones who have never seen a four-seater Jaguar XK150, yet here it is in all its strangeness. It is apparently a creation of Jaguar enthusiast Geoffrey Stevens in the 1975 to 1977 period. He was a Jaguar enthusiast and worked as an industrial chemist near Swindon, he and his… Read More Four seater cat: 1960 Jaguar XK150 Shooting Brake ‘Foxbat’
