Slate Gray 6201 should be the color code of this rare 356 BT6 in its least appreciated version (but only at the time of presentation), now its collector interest is high. It has never been clear to us why the Porsche management of the time decided to produce this strange hybrid, neither coupé nor cabriolet… Read More 15 year long nap: 1962 Porsche 356 BT6 Super 90 Hardtop Coupé
Another day, another spider, another Alfa Romeo. But this time it’s the bigger sister of the one released on Monday. It is in fact a 2000 Spider designed and built not at the Portello factory, but at the Touring body shop which, at the time of production of this model, was a 20-minute walk away.… Read More Matte silver: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
A large number of TR3s were produced and while most of them have been lost over the decades, there are still many for sale. But we are talking about TR3 and TR3 A, not a car like this.
