Here it is another Italia 2000, this time with body #46. It is speculated to be a former italian car (like the 90% of all Italia 2000 produced) and to have been restored in 1998 and then imported in Netherlands. As we have experience with the Italia 200o, we can say that’s a good car,… Read More #46: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
This Fiat Dino Spider shows its clean lines as the bumpers, both front and rear, have been removed. Now, we think that somehow the Dino Spider doesn’t look “complete” without them: better put them on. On the other hand, the car is equipped with its original and valuable hardtop. Apart from the lack of the… Read More Greek profile: 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Spider
This custom built car is a great representative of the custom cars era of the sixties. The seller says that this car has been built in 1962 from a known custom builder (but we can’t find his name in the description) and it was also portrayed on the Car Craft cover of june 1962. Often… Read More Rocket age custom: 1962 Vortex X-2000
This little japanese roadster belongs to the last batch of Fairlady (SR311) produced, featuring the U20 sohc engine (2000 c.c. and 133 h.p.), front disc brakes and a taller windshield than its 1600 c.c. predecessor. Back then it should have been a cheaper alternative to italian and british roadsters. Less than 2000 cars were produced… Read More Hardtop included: 1968 Datsun Fairlady 2000 Roadster
This pretty Italia 2000 (Vignale body #30) is said to have been registered new in Madrid and that it has 88,000 kms from new, which is quite plausible on such car. The most curious thing on this car is the pale blue paint which seems old, probably original, but it’s a shade not mentioned in… Read More Strange color: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
And here it is another Italia 2000 which pops out of darkness. The seller doesn’t say anything about the car itself: just few words to tell again the well known history of these cars and the relationships among Ruffino, Michelotti and Vignale. One of the most important information about these cars, the Vignale serial number,… Read More Waiting for a savior: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
It’s not unusual to find car ads with few explanations, but it’s extremely rare to find an ad without a word: this is the case. So, we must evaluate only what we can see. The second 2000 Spider Touring of this week seems solid and complete. The 2000 has more external trims than the 2600 (we… Read More Two scoops: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider
This 1958 Alfa Romeo 2000 spider (chassis #32) is said to be one of only 63 made in 1958, the first year of production of this model. It’s clearly a car that needs a full restoration but it’s however a good basis for the job. The seller says that this car misses the front grille… Read More Dad’s car: 1958 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
One of the best things of the classic cars hobby is that your certainties are continuously questioned. In this particular case, just when we thought to know (or, at least, to have seen) all the Italia 2000 survived so far, here is another one that pops out from darkness. We will not pull out about… Read More #95: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
The seller says that this 2000 GTV drives beautifully as all the suspensions bushes, springs, bushes and tierods have been replaced last year. That’s good as even if these bits aren’t expensive, they require many working hours to be installed. He says that the Spica-injected engine runs good without burning oil (a twin cam Alfa… Read More Red Bertone: 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000
