Lately we have often seen Moretti Sportiva on sale, but these were especially in Italy, very rarely in other countries and especially in the USA, as long as back then this small car costed almost as much as a full size Pontiac. This article is written to report even two of them, in the hands… Read More Moretti mates: Two 1968 Moretti Sportiva
The car published yesterday was described by its seller with very few words and only one picture. This Abarth OT 1000 too is described with few words but, at least, has several photos. We do not know if it is a car stored or restored, for sure it is difficult that the paint is original… Read More Folk hero: 1967 Abarth OT 1000 Coupé
If this car was as long as its name, now we were looking at a 20 feet car. Indeed, this is te tiniest coupé built by Fiat and designed by Bertone. One of the strangest things about this car is that most of the production was exported to the U.S.A: number says 2,890 out of… Read More Tiny coupé: 1969 Fiat 850 Sport Racer Berlinetta by Bertone
How long has it been since you saw the last Cisitalia for sale? Ok this is the “2nd generation” Cisitalia but, anyway, many months have passed since the last time we saw one for sale. These cars was not entirely built by Cisitalia: the founder’s son, Carlo Dusio, kept on building cars but starting from… Read More Red and open: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Spider by Allemano
This is not the first time that we publish one of these specials based on the Fiat 850 chassis and engine, however it’s the first time we see one preserved like this one. Indeed the seller doesn’t say much about the car but that it is a complete car: we’d say that it’s even more… Read More Fading lines: 1969 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
The seller of these two little coupes must be a Vignale (and Fiat) enthusiasts as he has two of these for sale: it’s quite rare to find one for sale but it’sthe first time we see two in one shot. The odd ting is that both car looks to have the same color: both arepainted (were… Read More One shot, two cars: 1964 Fiat 750 + Fiat 850 Coupé by Vignale
Fourty years ago there wasn’t a wide choice when you wanted a sports car but you had a little budget: factories like Francis Lombardi tried to fill this market gap. Of course we’re talking about the european maket which, generally, was afflicted by high taxes on big displacement car and by expensive gas prices, so… Read More Little hot wannabe: 1970 Francis Lombardi Grand Prix
Fiberglass was the main material used (steel was used as well) for the body of this car which was built in order to provide clients with a cheap but funny vehicle. Indeed this car weighs only 1,400 lbs and, although the 43 hp of the 850 cc Fiat engine are not much, they are enough to… Read More Fiberglass fantastic: Francis Lombardi 850 Gran Prix
100 is not the number of the cars like this one ever produced, it’s just the price asked by the seller: we suppose that such asking price misses some zeroes. That’s a 850 GT Spider built by Cisitalia and equipped with an Abarth engine: four years ago, before Classic Virus, we’ve seen a white coupè… Read More Just 100: 1964 Cisitalia Abarth 850 GT Spider
This is actually a rare combination: a 1968 Fiat 850 special 2nd series mated with a period (one year younger than the Fiat) trailer, painted in the same shade, a kind of sand beige. Both them look restored properly even of the seller didn’t post any detailed photos; however we can spot quite a good… Read More Italian bundle: 1968 Fiat 850 Special + 1967 Franza trailer
