It is the second time that we see an A12 set up as a ladder truck, but the first time the vehicle was in not very beautiful condition while this is in excellent condition. This truck was set up by the company Man-Maniero (which is the first time we hear about) on behalf of the… Read More Working twin cam: 1969 Alfa Romeo A12 ladder by Man-Maniero
In recent years, Alfa Romeo collecting has increasingly turned towards “limited editions” such as, in the case of the 750 and 101 series, the Spider Veloce. But you know what? It depends on what you do with it. I mean that in the regular use of these cars, or at cruising speeds to enjoy a… Read More Red outside: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
For some years now, many collectors of the cars built in the Portello factory have also been interested in their commercial vehicles, certainly much rarer than their car cousins. We have indeed written several times about how much the models A 11 and F11, or A12 and F12 have been further re-evaluated and how their… Read More Call of duty: 1980 Alfa Romeo F12 Ambulance
The period from the mid-60s to the mid-70s was perhaps the most glorious period for Alfa Romeo, both in terms of sales and sports victories. It is in fact in this decade that Alfa Romeo becomes closer to the “people”: we must never forget that the cars produced by Alfa were certainly not within everyone’s… Read More Green outside: 1970 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina
“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
When we first saw the ad about this car, its photos, and the asking price, it seemed to us that the seller was asking for a bit of a steep price, until we read more. In fact, the photos concern only one car, the 1750 GT Veloce first series from 1969, in a pine green… Read More Bulk sale: 1969 and 1971 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
Bluette is the name that Alfa Romeo has given to this particular shade: it is a blue that takes on green tones in the sun: it is very beautiful and typical of Alfa Romeo, perhaps even more than red. We all know the car instead: it is a Giulia, perhaps the most aggressive-looking four-door sedan… Read More Bluette sleeper: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI
This F11 was abandoned in the countryside: today it seems strange to us but this was often – almost always, we would say – the end of these vans made by Alfa Romeo. If you think about it all this is not strange: if only up to twenty years ago someone had told you that… Read More Country boy: 1971 Alfa Romeo F11
GT Juniors to be restored are increasingly rare. And when they are found, they now have prices that until ten years ago they asked for a car in almost perfect condition. We could say, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, That’s the market, baby. The market! And there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing! So when… Read More Big heart: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
Built in May 1955, this is one of the oldest Giulietta Sprints on the road today – basically nothing changes compared to those built in 56 or 57 but we all know that, for a collector, the year is very important. We actually saw an older one, even built in 1954, it was in poor… Read More #349: 1955 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
