A rarely seen example of Alfa Romeo’s unconventional approach to practicality: a 1980 Alfasud 1300 Giardinetta. The seller has provided minimal information, so any considerations here are based on what the model represents rather than specific details about this particular car. The Alfasud Giardinetta is one of the least common variants of the Alfasud range.… Read More Ultra rare sight: 1980 Alfa Romeo Alfasud 1300 Giardinetta
This car is already intriguing on its own, being a 1956 Spider Veloce (find another one for sale right now—if you manage to, we’ll gladly feature it), but it has an even more fascinating history. The story of this Giulietta Spider begins on September 20, 1956, when it was produced as chassis number 194. Initially… Read More Blue under the skin: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
It’s fascinating how, after all these years, cars like this one are still being found parked for 30 or 40 years in a garage or storage facility, covered by a layer of dust so thick it actually protected the bodywork. That’s the case with this Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina, a high-end vehicle once chosen by… Read More White dust: 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 Berlina
Zagato is a coachbuilder known not for baroque or elaborate shapes, but rather for the exact opposite: minimal, clean lines designed for aerodynamic efficiency, with all superfluous elements left behind. The 2600 bodied by Zagato is the purest expression of this concept: taking the platform of a luxurious and well-equipped coupé like the 2600 Sprint,… Read More White and light: 1967 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
Anyone looking to have some fun with this car is more than welcome—especially since, in this case, the fun could last a long time given the car’s condition. We’re also unsure whether it’s truly worth restoring or if it’s better used as a source of many rare and valuable spare parts, which are increasingly hard… Read More Full size puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
When you see a mirror-like glossy paint finish on a car that’s 50 years old or more, and someone tries to pass it off as the original paint, show them this photo. We don’t deny that there may be exceptions to the rule, but the truth is that the lead-based paints used back then don’t… Read More Dull pine: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
It’s the end of an era. We don’t know if this will mark the beginning of a new one, but the closing of Joop Stolze’s business—“The Mad Hatter”—the Dutchman well known across Europe for his decades-long activity, has come as a shock to many, starting with us. His is a name that every classic car… Read More The ultimate auction: The Joop Stolze collection
Another Alfa, another Spider—but this time, it’s the mother of the one we featured two days ago: a Giulietta. Not perfect, of course, but more than enough to enjoy the good weather. It also comes in a classic color combination for this model: white with red interior—an all-time classic, no less timeless than red, which… Read More Snow white: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
The seller of this beautiful 1750 Spider (also known as the “Graduate,” a name borrowed from the 1967 masterpiece film of the same name, starring a brilliant Dustin Hoffman) says the car is in original condition. He states that it has never been in an accident or repaired, that it has zero rust, and that… Read More Cromodora wheels: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
No, with this post we’re not suggesting that anyone take on the restoration of this Spider, which would make no sense economically, given that the point of no return for the bodywork was passed at least twenty years ago. It would be a $100,000 restoration that, after a couple of years, would give you a… Read More You tow: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
