This 1961 AC Greyhound (chassis BEF2526) is said to have 41,617 miles from new and to have been despatched new on the 13/04/1961 in the same color combo (Black Pearl on beige) in which it’s shown now. The first owner was a new zealander official allocated in the UK. Then the car came back to NZ along… Read More The Black Pearl: 1961 AC Greyhound Coupé
This car has made a long trip to South Africa, where it is now, and now it needs a lot of cares to shine again. It is a Simca Aronde Plein Ciel, a beautiful coupé with a body made by Facel. The seller says that this car has just moved from a long time storage and… Read More Colonial relic: 1961 Simca Aronde Plein Ciel by Facel
This is the typical “stalled project”: a Porsche 356 to be transformed in “outlaw style” but, this time, using a flat-four Subaru WRX Turbo engine and transmission: that’s what we call “lateral thinking”. That’s a really strange idea: for sure it’s the first time we see such choice as the typical engine used in these… Read More Japanese flat-four: 1961 Porsche 356 “Outlaw”
The seller says that this Giulietta SS has been sold new in Italy and then it was finally imported in UK, where it lives since many years. What it’s clearly visible is that this car is quite tall on the wheels, definitely taller than usual and we can’t understand why. Indeed the seller provides many… Read More Taller than usual: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
This 1961 Maserati 3500 GT is obviously in need of a total restoration but what we can spot through the photos is actually a very good starting point. The body, stripped to bare aluminium, looks in good shape with no apparent major crash signs or patches made in the past. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t provide… Read More Last train: 1961 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring
The seller must be a Lancia Appia nut, however he’s now oriented in parting with his two Appia Convertibile: a 1959 without title and a 1961 which is more complete than the other one. Actually, as the seller says, you can make only one car from these two as one lacks of too many parts,… Read More Two is better than one: 1959/61 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Really, the paint job on this car really catches us. Although such paint job could seem a sacrilege, we must admit that it has been realized with a clear project in mind. It doesn’t seem improvised: a very good hand did such job, unfortunately we don’t know when. We could bet on a late ’70’s… Read More Acid paint job: 1961 Chevrolet Corvette “Fuelie”
This yellow Appia GTE (chassis 81203-5076) is said to have been fully restored in 2004, including mechanical parts which have been overhauled by the actual seller. It was imported in UK from Holland (both countries have a special feeling with classic Lancia). This doesn’t seem a concours-level restored car but it actually looks good: we don’t… Read More Not so expensive: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
Update August 28: we posted this car on monday and today the ad has been removed, so the car has very probably been sold: it was a great deal indeed. This Flaminia Touring is said to be entirely restored many years ago but it’s actually sitting with the exception of the engine which has been… Read More Everything double: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2.5 Coupé by Touring
This 1961 Flaminia Touring Convertibile has been modified in the past in a way never seen before. Basically all the front end has been elongated like if someone pull it out with some kind of magnetic force: both the grill surround and headlights protrude of about half foot from what, once, has been the original… Read More Mutation: 1961 Lancia Flaminia Convertibile 2.5 by Touring
