A Fiat 1100B Cabriolet is a rare car even in Italy, let alone in the USA, especially if it has never been restored and still has its original black plate. If we were to imagine when this car ended up in California, we could think of the 70s when a large number of Italian cars… Read More From VI to L.A: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet
Anyone who has fully restored a classic car knows very well that an easy restoration does not exist, unless it is a car that already looks good and only needs general tuning and detailing. This is not, in fact, the case, indeed it takes many hours of work to bring this 356 back to the… Read More Drive the dolphin/2: 1960 Porsche 356b T5 Roadster

We are not lucky enough to be able to take a look at the engine of this 356 T6 convertible which is said to be a car matching numbers.

Finding a classic car owned by the same owner for 25 years is hard down, let alone twice as long. It seems to be the case of this 356 B Roadster, a car already rare in its standard model, but this is an S, that is, with the engine that produces 75 horsepower, it is… Read More 53 years ownership: 1960 Porsche 356B T5 Roadster
These two very special cars have been an inseparable couple for many years, and not just because they were built by the same coachbuilder. The coachbuilder we are talking about is Enrico Maestri, owner of a small workshop in Piacenza, Italy, whom in 1939 had a commission from the gentlemen driver Paolo Butti. The contract… Read More The odd couple: 1948 Fiat 500 A Berlinetta – 1947 Fiat 500 B Barchetta by Maestri
This 356 T5 was born as a Karmann Hardtop, so that means that it was basically a Cabriolet with a metal hardtop welded on the body: the actual owner removed it but he didn’t stop here. Indeed he tried to transform this car in something between a Speedster and a Roadster, removing all the “useless”… Read More Funny car: 1961 Porsche 356 T5 Hardtop “Sprint”
It’s hard to improve the job of a genius like Ferdinand Porsche, even if who wants to improve it is another genius like Giovanni Michelotti. Indeed the result is quite odd but not beautiful. This Porsche 356 T6 coupé, the existence of which was totally unknown by us, was an attempt made by the swiss… Read More Restyling attempt: 1961 Porsche 356 B T6 Coupé by Ghia-Aigle
Stone grey was the original color of this 356B T5 Roadster (chassis #87324) that has seen, during its story, many paint layers that overlapped: the last one is the white one.
