Although both the make and the model names could seem to come from the eastern Europe, this car was actually produced in Pavia, few kilometers south of Milano, Italy. It all began when Carlo Lavezzari, an italian enterpreneur, decided to build a microcar pushed by the same 125 c.c. engine of the Innocenti Lambretta: they… Read More Short wheel base: 1974 Lawil Varzina
The Merak is to Bora as Mercedes 190 SL is to 300 SL: the equation is simple but, differently from the 190 SL, the Merak had 200 hp on which to rely on. This car though, has some issues. It is a car which clearly had an accident which involved not only the front fender… Read More Christmas orange: 1974 Maserati Merak 3000
One of the 1,672 specimens of 2002 Turbo ever built is laying in a yard, waiting for someone who brings it back to its previous glory. Many of these cars had a sad ending because they had the bad luck to be born exactly in the midde of the greatest oil crisis ever and this,… Read More Suspended animation: 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo
This 2002 Tii is not a concours specimen, but on the other side it as all the right things in the right places to be an head turner anyway. Apart from the aesthetic point of view, this is a Tii and its four inline engine fed by one of the most sophisticated MFI of that period,… Read More Cheap thrills: 1974 BMW 2002 Tii
The plate of this Espada S3 says it all: this car was part of the owner’s world and part of it was actually painted in pink. The oddest thing about this car is not just the color but also that this paint was sprayed when the car was restored in 1992; so it isn’t just… Read More My world: 1974 Lamborghini Espada
The BMW e10 series, in this case represented by this silver 2002 Tii, was the german response to the sporty sedans built by Alfa Romeo: they didn’t have the charm of the cars built in Milano, and yet they were great two doors sedans. The engine of the Tii is a four inline fed by… Read More Needs nothing: 1974 BMW 2002 Tii
The seller of this nice looking GTV 2000 says that the car is al original, that it has zero rust and that it runs and drive perfect. We like it also because of its asking price. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t say anything more than that but actually the photos speak enough for themselves: it’s a… Read More Zero rust: 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
Another survivor here: this is not Maserati but a “humble” Alpine 310 which, on the other side, looks in even better condition than the Mistral. The Alpine 310 built in 1974 (344 cars built that year) was equipped with a four cylinders Gordini engine with a displacement of 1605 c.c., fed by a fuel injection and… Read More 30 years stored: 1974 Alpine A310
This 2002 Tii is said to have been fully restored and coming out from a private collection: it shows a white paint and a blue interior ad that’s a very elegant color combo. So the car has been restored but the owner put on it some touch to make the car more aggressive like the front… Read More Air dammed: 1974 BMW 2002 Tii
The first thing that jumps to the eye about this 2002 Ti is for sure the couple of huge, D.o.T. approved bumpers. However, the car deserves a proper attention. That’s because it’s a 2002 Ti so, differently from the Tii, it is equipped with a couple of Solex two-throat carburetors which are not as “refined”… Read More Huge bumpers: 1974 BMW 2002 Ti
