We believe that Italy was the only place on hearth where someone could think to build a twin cam engine powered van, and that place was Arese, just outside Milano, in a factory called Alfa Romeo. Indeed this van (along with others like Romeo 1° and 2°) is powered by the same single carburetor of the… Read More Twin cam van: 1968 Alfa Romeo F12
Two are the odd things about this ad: the first is that the seller says that this car was originally painted in “banana yellow”, but so far we didn’t know that was a shade used by Bertone. The other thing is that now the car is painted in a dark bronze color outside, while the engine… Read More Banana, chocolate and tomato: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Update, june 13: here is the car offered here at the next Artcurial auction with an estimate price of €210,000 – 270,000 (today $284,000 – 365,000). Next time follow our suggestions! July 22, 2013: The first time we saw this car we couldn’t understand why the seller wrote 16v into the description. After a check… Read More Autodelta 16v hardcore: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT gr.5
When you hear of an Alfa “stepnose” the first car that comes to your mind is not a cabriolet for sure. In this case, what we have here is one of the few Giulia Sprint GT cabriolet built by Touring. Our literature says that 1,000 of these cars were made, mostly sold out of Italy… Read More The other stepnose: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTC by Touring
Two Alfa’s today. This time our “one car per working day” has been missed, but this one’s too interesting to let it go. It’s a 1947 Freccia D’Oro (“Golden Arrow”) from the same seller of the 2500 GT posted some days ago. A lot of work is needed here: bottom-up and front to rear, btu… Read More Post-war class: 1947 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 “Freccia D’Oro”
This Giulietta Sprint 750b (chassis #3088) looks like a stalled project. The work done is nothing like a total restoration but a serious “make up”. Indeed the paint looks good (don’t ever trust photos to judge a paint job) but the undercarriage looks original and with some traces of rust but, from here, it looks like… Read More Texan red italian: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This car was the last Alfa Romeo made using chassis and engine of the great 6C series. It was called “berlina” even if it had two doors only. Of course in 1952 the 6C layout was obsolete but, because of the damage suffered after the WWII bombing, in the early post war period Alfa had… Read More Last of its breed: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Gran Turismo
The seller of this modified Giulia 1600 “Ti look” is at least honest: he says that this car has rust (how much?) and dents and that that’s not a show car but a car ready to be driven. Other than that, he says that the original engine has been swapped with a tuned 2000 c.c.… Read More Rust, dents and a power plate: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Super
Once upon a time there was a superb and elegant coupè called 1900 C Super Sprint, usually driven by jet-set people who liked the ialian style. Now it’s sad and rotten, but for sure it will find a saviour. This is the last series (3rd) of the 1900 family, which has the best look and… Read More Once upon a time: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint by Touring
This ’63 Giulia Spider (VIN #374253) is in “ground level” conditions: it is almost completely dismantled and the doors are missing but the seller says that they can be purchased online for only $300. The seller says also that the body is already primed (whatever there is under such primer) but the floors need to… Read More Doors not included: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
