One of the most frequent problems when restoring a 60-year-old car is finding spare parts, it is true, you can find aftermarket components for sale but they rarely have the quality necessary for a top-level restoration. Not only that: sometimes the classic car parts produced now are of absolutely poor quality, and, the best part,… Read More Three for one: 1965 Subeam Tiger + 2 Sunbeam Alpine
This car was the swan song of Carrozzeria Touring, indeed, perhaps it was the cause of its financial meltdown. Let’s start from the beginning: The car was the result of the collaboration between the Rootes group and the Touring body shop, which already assembled the Sunbeam Alpine and the Hillman Super Minx in its Milan… Read More The last song: 1965 Sunbeam Venezia by Touring
Zagato has always built very particular and easily recognizable cars, however – perhaps an unpopular opinion – few of them can be defined as “beautiful” according to our tastes. Of course, this is an opinion (and we all know what people say about opinions) but the point is that Zagato’s construction philosophy was not devoted… Read More Trademark blue: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
For lovers of the Porsche brand, there is no 911 more “pure” than the first series, also known as the “zero series”. Of course, the earlier the better.

As already mentioned other times, this version had been entrusted to Touring for the conversion to Cabriolet and the consequent reinforcement of the body to be done professionally and with… Read More Open top: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTC by Touring
In spite of what is generally believed, these Alfa are solid cars: of course we are referring to everything that does not concern the bodywork. In fact, the generation of engines that pushed us these cars was the most solid we could ask for, especially if we consider that by the standards of the time… Read More With hat: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
We did not know of the existence of this model: in fact we knew the OT 2000 called by the nickname “Monster”, this is the smaller sister. In fact, it seems that very few specimens of this model (technically called 102 / B) were built: this model had to be purchased directly from the racing… Read More Top tier: 1965 Abarth OT 1600
Sold new and aged in the same place, this could be the short story of this Giulietta Sprint. It is in fact a specimen which, although it is not rare in itself (in relative terms, of course) has the rarity of having been sold new in Rome in 1965, and has remained in the Italian… Read More Roman citizen: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
An icon needs no introduction and the Jaguar E-Type, particularly if a first series, is no exception. Many have been produced and many have survived, especially if we compare them to other sports cars of the same era, yet the quantity of examples still existing has not inflated their charm: the value of this model… Read More Pasadena recluse: 1965 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.
If you want to buy a Giulia Sprint GT at the price of a GT Junior, here is the car for you. In fact, we understand well that, in the eyes of a layman, or at least in the eyes of those who know these cars only superficially, it is very easy to confuse a… Read More Grown up Junior: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
