It is amazing how, after years of recovering abandoned and hidden classic cars, those who have good prospectors at their disposal often manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat. The seller who offers this 3500 GTi is certainly not new to these companies, and this time he has found a 3500 GTi with… Read More 54 years ownership: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring
The make and model of this project need no introduction: even those who are not enthusiastic about classic cars probably know this unmistakable profile. The spider version obviously has the peculiarity of the canvas roof, but our personal opinion is that the coupé profile is difficult to beat even by cars that are worth ten… Read More Aged Burgundy: 1962 Jaguar E-Type FHC
Twin cam engine, aluminum body, covered headlights, perspex windows and double bubble roof: this information is already enough – for an enthusiast – to identify an Italian sports car built in the 1950s or 1960s. In the specific case it is a rare OSCA 1600 GT, one of the 98 produced by the Maserati brothers… Read More White racer: 1962 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
The seller of this 2000 Spider – without an engine – says this auction is not about a car in the strict sense but a spare parts stash. From a certain point of view we agree: until a few years ago, let’s say up to about ten years ago, probably all these spare parts had… Read More Parts car, perhaps: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
What makes us love a classic car? Is it its lines, the sound of the engine, its economic value or even the stories it carries with it? Very often, more times than we admit to ourselves, it is the latter that attracts us most of all. This Aston Martin DB4, parked in a barn for… Read More A life: 1962 Aston Martin DB4 by Touring
Over the past few decades, a car built on a versatile platform was subject to many variations, limited only by the imagination of the designers. Even the Fiat 500, in its “D” version, had its own interpretations and among these was that of the NSU through the vision of the Weinsberg workshops: two versions were… Read More The other side: 1962 NSU/Fiat 500 Coupé by Weinsberg
We know very well that this is not a “precious” Sprint Veloce first series, however it is still a special car and no less rare than the first. This is because rather than opting for the small – although performing – 1300 cc, customers turned to the Giulia which, having the 1600 cc engine, had… Read More Golden hour: 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
Undisturbed actually seems to be the right word: this first series E-Type seems to have been completely forgotten for decades, luckily somewhere indoors. In fact, this car probably comes from some place with a non-dry climate: this is what the traces of moss on the trunk floor tell us. Certainly though, if it had been… Read More Undisturbed: 1962 Jaguar E-Type Coupé
It is strange to define this car as “complete”, yet looking at the photos it seems that, apparently, the main components (and many other details) are all there. Probably because it is a 2600 Sprint (chassis # AR820112) disassembled thinking of an integral restoration but, as often happens, the time or money to do it… Read More Puzzling puzzle: 1962 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
Mr. Ermanno Cozza, the Maserati guru, defined the color “Celeste Chiaro” (light blue) as the “Magic Color”: a Maserati painted in that color acquired a very special charm. This 3500 GT would seem originally painted in the same color which, combined with the red interior, would be an extraordinary match, however we do not understand… Read More Magic color: 1962 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring
