The Citroen SM has always been little considered in the world of classic cars, perhaps for the fact that it was a Citroen in itself, perhaps for the fear of facing the maintenance or restoration of a “complex” car, perhaps for both reasons. Yet when this car was unveiled in Geneva in March 1970, the… Read More Code S: 1972 Citroen SM
It’s been 49 years since Rick McCloskey (aka RickMack), fresh out of photography school at San Fernando Valley State College in Northridge, spent every Wednesday night throughout the summer of 1972 photographing a generation of boys and girls in first half of their twenties, cruising and meeting with their cars – stock, partially modified or… Read More The vanished world
It has a beautiful color and looks very, very well preserved: this is the brief identikit of this rare Audi. The fact that the car looks very well preserved is probably also due to the fact that the car – so the seller says – has passed from father to son and has therefore remained… Read More One family car: 1972 Audi 100S Coupé

Of course, a coupe with a V6, 3.2 litre engine was not the best choice in the… Read More Pristine burgundy: 1972 Fiat 130 Coupé
Many of the De Tomaso Pantera that you find for sale are the base model which in the USA was called “L”, then there is also the GTS model like this one, much rarer and much more expensive than the first. But the GTS was not one for all markets: that for the American market… Read More Euro specs: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera GTS
If you know the Lamborghini Jarama, the similarity of this with the ISO Lele will be clear. Let’s face it: both certainly don’t fit into the top 50 most beautiful cars ever built. However, collecting is not only made of beautiful things but also and above all of particular or particularly rare things: here, in… Read More Bloody project: 1972 ISO Lele
