It’s quite rare to stumble across a car tuned by Mikykauto, one of the most famous italian tuner of the ’70s and ’80s, so we didn’t know that he tuned also sedans like this Alfetta. The seller says that actually this car was initially prepped by Autodelta, but then the owner wanted a special touch… Read More Bad to the bone: 1978 Alfa Romeo Alfetta by Mikylauto
This bus is red like a Ferrari and it has a name used on a modern Ferrari as well, but it’s indeed a rare vehicle.

This two-tone Giulietta Spider is still a Type 750 even if it looks like having a long wheel base.

This Alfa Romeo (Type 102) belongs to a series which had not much success: designed to fill the need of the italian upper class families, finally they sold these cars mostly to the government, for representative purposes. The reason why it wasn’t a best seller is clear to everyone: even then, the bulky side of this… Read More Project 102: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina
Of course rust often wins, but it has no chance to finish its work on a Sprint Speciale.

Here it is another Giulia Spider Veloce (AR 390539) which, as the seller says, has rust.
