Few cars built, fine finishes, based on a Fiat chassis and engine: it is the typical identikit of Italian custom-built cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s. This identikit is also true for this creature of one of the most famous Italian coachbuilders, Vittorino Viotti, certainly not as famous as Pininfarina, Bertone or Vignale, but… Read More Little big coachbuilt: 1960 Fiat 600 “Granluce” by Viotti
As is often the case with classic Abarth cars, every car has something special, and this coupé is no exception. At first glance it seemed a 850 Scorpione with the body built by Allemano, but the seller reiterates that this is a 750 and in fact, observing it carefully, it is clear that the front end… Read More Almost 850: 1960 Abarth 750 Coupé by Allemano
Exactly six years ago, on February 25, 2013, we published an article titled “Patina monster”: that time it was a Volkswagen Beetle while this time it’s her cousin. It’s a Porsche 356 Cabriolet from 1960: once I had the same color even in the color but it was much worse than this which has instead… Read More Patina monster/3: 1960 Porsche 356 B T5 Cabriolet
Here is the other side of the coin. Just yesterday we reviewed a 2600 Spider which is an excellent starting point for a restoration, now we show you a restored, at the highest level. The car we deal with is not a 2600 but a 2000, less powerful but, in our opinion, more beautiful than… Read More No stone unturned: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
This little Abarth belongs to the large family of 750 cc of displacement for which the tuner of Turin became so famous. But the peculiarity of this car is to be an uncommon spider, in fact most of the cars caressed by Zagato were coupes, since the coachbuilder’s production was focused on speed racing and… Read More Subtle differences: 1960 Abarth 750 Spyder by Zagato
Red is the color which is mainly associated with four things: Blood, Christmas, Coca-Cola and Ferrari. Fortunately, the article does not concern the liquids mentioned in the previous list but a Ferrari (on the day after Christmas). Obviously, the Ferrari we are talking about is not an original 250 LM but a recreation based on… Read More Christmas red: 1960 Ferrari 250 LM recreation
It is not the first time that we find one of these very rare cars for sale: to be precise it is the second time, but the car published a few months ago was slightly different from this one. The reason is simple: unlike the first published here, this belongs to the first series (impossible… Read More More than rare: 1960 Fiat 600 Capri by Caprera
Well, this is not a car in the sense that we all generally mean, but we know very well that true classic car enthusiasts are first and foremost romantics who like objects like this. This micro car comes indeed from the Disneyland Autopia amusement park, during the ’60s (we suppose the early 60s) and was… Read More Amusement ride: 1960 Autopia
Italia 2000’s were not produced according to the Vignale body number sequence but, as far as we know, we suppose that this car was built in 1960: at least three were the production years of this special car so the margin of error is low anyway. Whoever needs more info about these cars can check Adrian… Read More #73: 1960 Italia 2000 by Vignale
Update, 03/26/2018: Here is the car at Jat Leno’s Garage show: 07/14/2016 We’ve already published a couple of article about the Appia Lusso, a Vignale coachbuilt Appia, but this is the only one in “barn find” conditions. Actually in Italy cars are barely stored in barns, most of the time you find these cars laying… Read More Factory paint: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso by Vignale
