Let’s say that, at least for us, there can be no more appropriate color for a 1950 Italian Coupe: this shade of maroon (or dark red) is typical of italian sports cars of that period. Of course, to think today that this is a sports car makes you smile considering that, at best, this engine… Read More Aluminium heritage: 1950 Fiat 1400 Coupé by Farina
Ok we certainly know the Lancia Lambda, not only for the number of its variants but above all for the innovative contribution it has made to the global automotive industry. One thing that speaks for all: it was the first car with a monocoque construction; and we believe that this is enough to show how… Read More Aluminium torpedo: 1920 Lancia Lambda Siluro
What makes us love a classic car? Is it its lines, the sound of the engine, its economic value or even the stories it carries with it? Very often, more times than we admit to ourselves, it is the latter that attracts us most of all. This Aston Martin DB4, parked in a barn for… Read More A life: 1962 Aston Martin DB4 by Touring
The problem with writing a review of cars like this is that often we don’t even know how to define the model to be included in the title: the only sure thing is that the chassis is that of a Kubelwagen. As many know, the Kubelwagen was a vehicle used by the German army during… Read More Something different: 1951 Volkswagen Kubelwagen “Bolide”
The great diversity of special cars built in the 1950s in Italy, using Fiat 1100 chassis and engines, is well represented by this small berlinetta. Here too we have a chassis derived from the Fiat 1100-103 TV and also its engine which, of course, has been further elaborated with respect to the Fiat specifications: sometimes… Read More Rare goods: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Vignale
We agree that the Fulvia Sport built by Zagato is not an extremely rare car, however if we talk about the first 200 specimens things change. This first batch of cars in fact had the bodywork entirely in aluminum and other particular details such as the bonnet hinges placed sideways, the electrically operated rear hatch… Read More Blue Alu: 1966 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
Other times we happened to find interesting buggies for sale and, wrongly, we didn’t publish them. It is in fact the “funny car” by definition: it is uncomfortable, it does not protect against the elements, it has the same equipment as a motorcycle: however, it has fascinated generations of children, including myself, who as a… Read More Aluminium sand: 1972 ATL Explorer II
If we wanted to publish an original Cobra 289 we would not have a hard time finding one, but there would be a lot of trouble finding a buyer who can spend almost a million dollars to buy it. This is therefore not an original Cobra 289, but the best that can be found apart… Read More Black and silver: 1965 Cobra 289 FIA by Kirkham
This is really a strange car and perplexes us for several reasons, starting with the bodywork that it is very familiar to us. In fact, as many of you have already suspected, this is a body already seen elsewhere: it was taken integrally from a Ghia 1500 Coupé, built from 1965 to 1967, and adapted… Read More Transformers: 1971 Coachbuilt Renault R177
The seller of this Abarth 750 Spyder, built almost 60 years ago by Allemano, leaves no room for interpretation: the car is plenty of rust. Obviously he’s speaking about the frame as the body (partly sawed in the front) is made of aluminum, and so the rust is not a problem. What is instead a… Read More Plenty of rust: 1959 Abarth 750 Spyder by Allemano
