We know many of you are thinking, “Hey, this is a Francis Lombardi,” and you’re actually pretty much right, but the truth is a little more complicated. We know in fact that this model, built by the Piedmontese Francis Lombardi, has taken on various names and different characteristics: the first that comes to mind is… Read More Rare texan: 1971 OTAS Grand Prix 820cc
We have always liked Mustangs, as you well know, but generally we only released those produced from 1966 to 1970 (and only if Fastback or Sportsroof), we never released one of a subsequent series. Yet, perhaps due to the maturing tastes or simply because the former are becoming unapproachable from a price point of view,… Read More Lime horse: 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof
Only 420 were produced, but the 2400cc, unlike its smaller sister (2000cc) is actually a Ferrari with a different body and interior. And the worst thing is that I have always known that these cars would one day have a great value not because I have a particular intuition but because years ago I was… Read More Total white: 1971 Fiat Dino 2400 Spider
Unfortunately, we cannot expect all ads to be accompanied by detailed descriptions and dozens of photos: sometimes you have to rely on instinct. The same instinct that made us focus our eyes on this Audi 100S Coupé, one of the few still in existence: not many were sold as these were expensive cars: certainly much… Read More Silver rings: 1971 Audi 100S Coupé
This is a fairly rare BMW, indeed, very rare as not only is it a 1600 TI but it is also a Touring (at least the badges say so) Of course, this car has a much more particular design than its notchback sister, and in fact not everyone likes it, yet, precisely because of its… Read More Twin carb: 1971 BMW 1600 TI Touring
If the restorers were superheroes, they would all have one common enemy: rust. And rust is unfortunately an enemy to be feared especially on BMW’s E9 series. In the particular case of this car, the damage caused by corrosion is evident at first glance, but on these cars the horror hides inside the front fenders… Read More Baikal rust: 1971 BMW 2800 CS
We do not know if you have the perception of what happened to the values of the BMW E9 series, if not, we will make a short summary. Briefly, the E9 series, which is the flagship series of BMW production between the end of the 60s and the mid-70s, was practically ignored by the world… Read More Polaris and blue: 1971 BMW 3.0 CSi
Let’s face it: this is the 914 that everyone would have wanted (50 years ago), but of course there is a reason. The reason was strategic: although this model is commonly identified as a Porsche, it is actually a Volkswagen with Porsche DNA and if it had mounted a more powerful engine than the 100… Read More Six but bigger: 1971 Volkswagen-Porsche 914/6
When it comes to classic pickups, our thoughts automatically goes to vehicles such as the Ford F100 or the Chevrolet 3100, symbols of post-war US motoring. Yet even in Europe, in enormously smaller quantities and with much smaller engines, similar vehicles were produced: perhaps the most famous is the one built on the basis of… Read More Pick it up: 1971 Fiat 241 T
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
