“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
When we first saw the ad about this car, its photos, and the asking price, it seemed to us that the seller was asking for a bit of a steep price, until we read more. In fact, the photos concern only one car, the 1750 GT Veloce first series from 1969, in a pine green… Read More Bulk sale: 1969 and 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
Volvo hasn’t produced many models in its history (at least until the 1980s) so those few models made have remained iconic. However, they weren’t in all markets: until the 1970s, Volvo was basically absent from the roads of southern Europe; more have been sold at home and in northern Europe and, especially with the Amazon… Read More Seriously fun: 1969 Volvo Amazon 123GT
Many do not know that, in addition to the Sportiva based on Fiat 850, Moretti also produced two subsequent versions, the S2 and the S4: we did not even know of the latter’s existence.

We were amazed to see a Duetto in silver: it was a factory color code (AR728), however it is rare to find one that was born in this color. And in fact, this specimen, according to the seller, was born in white. The seller also says the car has been repainted by the previous owner… Read More Silver streak: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto
Let’s stay in France also today as we found a very interesting car, both in terms of model and price. The Duetto 1750, in fact, with the type 541 engine, was the latest evolution of that iconic car made famous by the film “The Graduate”, starring Dustin Hoffman: in the case of the film it… Read More Think green: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750
The sight of this van reminded me that, when I was little, I definitely had a toy car of the same shape: at the time I didn’t understand which vehicle it was inspired by, but now I have understood it. Also because, honestly said, it is the absolute first time I see this Renault van:… Read More Groovy times: 1969 Renault Estafette R2137
Limited editions are not a prerogative of European cars alone, in some cases also the American car market was churning out cars in very limited editions. This is the case of the “L600” edition Ford Mustang: we are not experts in mustangs but we can say we know these cars yet we had never heard… Read More Groovy Green: 1969 Ford Mustang L600
This rare GTA Junior is one of the very few, if not the only ones left, that has belonged to the same owner for almost fifty years. In practice, even before I was born, the seller of this car was already driving it through the winding streets of north east Italy: not bad. So if… Read More 48 years ownership: 1969 Alfa Romeo GTA Junior
It is the first time ever that we see this car, probably for two reasons: it is rare and, perhaps, it is not among the most beautiful cars in the history of motoring. There are so few around if you are looking for this model, many of the photos that appear are the same as… Read More Mini Barracuda: 1969 Sunbeam Alpine Fastback
