Cars that still appear “modern” at first glance rarely feature on this blog. This Lamborghini Diablo SE 30, however, is now over thirty years old, having been built in 1994, and therefore fully qualifies within the definition of a historic vehicle. What makes this case particularly noteworthy is the context: it is uncommon to encounter… Read More Judicial auction: 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30
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
This 356 SC is no longer in the possession of the previous owner as it has been confiscated and auctioned off on July 20: it is rare to find classic cars that suffer this fate. It must be said that in recent years the SCs have experienced a surge in prices but in particular the… Read More Foreclosed: 1964 Porsche 356 SC Cabriolet
This beautiful Giulia Super has certainly been carefully restored by its former owner who has brought it around to be admired: unfortunately, on one of these tours someone has seen fit to ram it. Obviously what has been said is only what we assume has happened: an alternative is that, during a “happy” driving session,… Read More Rammed: 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super
If our aim is to report the most particular classic cars, available on the market at a given moment, we certainly could not avoid reporting this prototype. This is not a prototype of a mass-produced car (which, however, would have some importance), but the prototype of a Rally legend, the Lancia 037, the last rear-wheel… Read More SE 037-001: 1980 Lancia 037 prototype
If you were expecting a car today then well, we’re sorry to disappoint you. In fact, we are talking about something much more important than a single car, however important it may be. We are talking about the other half of the Carrozzeria Bertone assets: the first half was made up of its prototypes and… Read More Paper treasure: The Bertone files
It is almost paradoxical that, in the year in which bats are at the lowest of their popularity, a lot of noise is generated by the sale of three very famous Alfa Romeos (but not as famous as you might imagine) called BAT, an acronym in Italian for “Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica” (Technical Aerodynamic Sedan). Long… Read More Legendary triptych: Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 5, 7, 9d to auction
One of the most successful experiments of the collaboration between Italy and the USA, is certainly the Apollo GT, and we believe that few people have doubts about it. But even more than the Apollo GT, so is the Apollo GT Spider that we see here in a magnificent combination of colors: blue body with… Read More Save the date: 1963 Apollo 3500 GT Spider
If you think that the barn finds are found only in the US, you are wrong, and this auction is proof of this. There is in fact a collection of 81 cars (none in good condition, some in desperate conditions) that will be auctioned (also online) tomorrow by a french auction house that we did not… Read More The sunday auction: 81 barn finds
Every classic cars enthusiast knows well that this market is sometimes so strange and lunatic that for somewhat reason, truly great cars remain undervaluated for years. This happened so far for many cars: think at the Fiat Dino Spider which was not worthy $30k till three years ago: now the best specimens fly regularly over… Read More The Alfa Romeo Montreal revenge
