Rare and unique are the words that best define this 1949 Fiat 1500D Convertible, styled and bodied by the prestigious Stabilimenti Farina. This is not just any early postwar Fiat: it is the six-cylinder Fiat 1500, the refined evolution of the prewar 1500 “6C,” one of the most advanced Italian family cars of the late… Read More Maroon six / 2: 1949 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet by Farina
A truly exceptional Alfa Romeo 6C 2300, in completely original and matching-numbers condition, with elegant Touring Superleggera coachwork. What makes this car particularly significant is its documented provenance: it was delivered on April 16, 1935, to none other than Captain Gabriele d’Annunzio (“The Poet”), Prince of Monte Nevoso, and remained in his possession until February… Read More Satan’s Breath: 1935 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Turismo by Touring

All Alfa Romeos built in the period just before or just after the Second World War are worthy of particular interest, but this one is a little more. The reason is simple: the seller claims that this car has only driven 6,000 kilometers (just under 4,000 miles) from new, which would be extraordinary. Indeed, at… Read More Brand new: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Berlina
It is not the first time that this seller has offered Alfa Romeo of the immediate pre or post war period, and it amazes us how he manages to find them. But, curiosity aside, we are always pleased to see these cars emerge from a decades-long oblivion, even if in a miserable state like this… Read More Endoskeleton: 1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500S
If someone told you that he spent six figures on a car that only has 44 hp, you would probably think that at the very least he is crazy.

We would never have thought that after World War II Alfa Romeo cars were also purchased in Australia, but evidently the brand’s coat of arms had also reached the other side of the world. This Freccia d’Oro was in fact delivered new in Australia, but it seems that little is known about the very first… Read More Australian delivered: 1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d’Oro
If you read the name of this shop for the first time, Ranalah, don’t worry, you are in good company. It is the first time that we know of the existence of this shop which, however, was short-lived since it was founded in London in 1935 and closed its doors immediately after the Second World… Read More Two cylinders less: 1937 Alfa Romeo 8C/6C project by Ranalah
