Once again here it is another relic of the magnificent and bygone era of hand-crafted italian sports cars. It is called “Siluro” (Torpedo) as usual for this kind of cars. This is one of the many (most of which lost) cars made by small coachworks (often made by one of two craftsmen) for private parties who… Read More Disused postwar torpedo: 1948 Fiat 500 “Siluro”
This is an ultra-rare pre-war Siata Amica Trasformabile, built on Fiat 500B chassis (a.k.a. “Topolino”). It’s indeed a rare event to see one of these, especially if for sale. This car has not only the chassis but also the engine, drivetrain and suspensions of the Topolino so the good is that finding the correct spare parts… Read More Transformed Topolino: 1939 Siata Amica Trasformabile
Apart from having the same colors of Bumblebee (the Camaro of the film Transformers), this tiny car has another similarity with such film: it is basically a Fiat 500 chassis and engine transformed by Ferves, a little company among other similar companies which rose in the late ‘60’s and generally closed in the mid ‘80’s.… Read More Transformer: 1967 Ferves Ranger 500
Probably there’s not a classic little car with more class and style than a “Topolino” Belvedere. This car was born to let common people have a little and cheap car but, at the same time, providing them with more space than a standard Fiat 500 for every family need. This particular car is very nicely… Read More Early wagon: 1952 Fiat 500C “Belvedere”
This 1951 home-built race car is pushed by a Gilera Saturno 500 motorcycle engine in order to join the 500 c.c. class back then: the builder was a french (we suppose) guy, Adrien Bec who is said to have built three cars including this one which is bodied using the aluminium. The seller doesn’t mention… Read More Nice wheels: 1951 Bec-Gilera Saturno 500 Monoposto
This 1970 Abarth 595 is based on a Fiat 500L which is recognizable from the “classic” door opening system. Indeed early cars had suicide doors, but you won’t find them easily on the market. This particular car should be a recent italian import as we can spot the front black plate installed. This car has… Read More White scorpion: 1970 Abarth 595
This ultra-rare Fiat 500b (aka “Topolino”) Giardiniera is not only one of the last survivor of its series, but it’s a rare coachbuilt car by Turin coachbuilder Accossato too. This particular car was featured in a 2012 article of italian classic cars magazine Quattroruote. The seller says that this car is the last survivor of… Read More Stylish Topolino: 1948 Fiat 500b Giardiniera by Accossato
Some sources say that less than twenty Fiat 500 B Giardiniera are still around. This car, although in need of a total restoration, seems a very good candidate for the job. The cracks in the silver paint show the green paint which could be the original tone. The car has still its original four digits… Read More Rare: 1949 Fiat 500 B Giardiniera
