We are used to see Alfa Romeo Giulia’s built for italian police (mostly replicas), and sometimes some little van (built until mid ’80s), but we’ve never seen a Fiat 600 with such livery. As the seller says, this car is not a replica but a true 600 used by Carabinieri corps, it still has the… Read More Beyond coolness: 1966 Fiat 600 “Carabinieri”

Some Porsche metal here, which has almost the shape of an early 911. And, because you’re not used to see early 911 spider, there is a roof which can be detached from a 912, just in case… Apart from this “little” gap, the car has also few rust everywhere and a no-matching 2.0L engine which,… Read More One car plus one roof: 1966 Porsche 911
We’d never imagine that a little economy car could have such stance if properly lowered like this MG 1100. And, that’s even more surprising as we’re talking about a one owner, exceptionally preserved car. The seller says that this car was sold new in San Francisco, CA. and that the owner has always kept this vehicle indoors… Read More Stancefully yours: 1966 MG 1100
Here it is the heavyweight of the Corvette breed: this was the biggest Corvette available back then. “Was” because the original engine has been replaced in the past with a 396 c.i. which, although enough powerful, has not the “allure” of the original unit. The seller says that the car has still the original rear suspensions… Read More Once was Big: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Convertible

This ’66 Sunbeam Roadster has been the point of a crossbreeding experiment: indeed the original 1725 c.c. inline-four engine, producing 93 h.p. has been swapped with a VW VR6 2.8 engine, rated at 190 h.p. Such power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a 5 speed Toyota gearbox. That’s a lot of work which… Read More Crossbreed: 1966 Sunbeam Alpine Roadster 5th series
The late 1st series XKE FHC (Fixed Head Coupé) is the most desirable version of the E-Type breed. It features the splendid lines of 1961 but with a bigger 4200 c.c. engine, a proper gearbox (instead of the hopless 3.8 gearbox), alternator and some other little improvements which makes this car a great sports tourer.… Read More Two colors cat: 1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 FHC
