Not only classic cars but also “classic parts” are of our interest. Obviously, these must be very rare and highly requested parts. We also add that in this period there is a real shortage of interesting classic cars for sale. The part in question today is an entire Moretti 750 twin cam engine, including carburetors… Read More Two for two: 1953 Moretti 750 Twin Cam Engine
The seller claims that this is one of the two Moretti 1200 Sport built: a few years ago we certainly saw his twin for sale in the USA: the car in that case was painted dark blue. This specimen, on the other hand, seems to have never left Europe: it was sold new in Belgium… Read More The pale blue twin: 1955 Moretti 1200 Sport
“Ashley” is not the name of a friend of ours but that of a model produced by the British company Falcon Shells, a model that we have already published a few years ago. The Competition MKII was in fact introduced in 1959 as a car intended primarily for competitions (as the name suggests) and the… Read More After Ashley: 1959 Falcon Shells Competition MKII
You can be a veteran of many things, some very unpleasant, some a little less, and some decidedly fun. Fortunately for this car, its past is linked not to a war, but to the Mille Miglia. The edition we are talking about is that of 1955, which saw Stirling Moss as absolute winner at the… Read More The veteran: 1955 Moretti 750 Sport Barchetta
Do you like unrestored classic cars? Do you like them Italian? Do you like them rare? This car will satisfy all three requests. Actually this car is not uncommon: in fact it is extremely uncommon as it’s a Siata 300BC. We do not know how many specimens were built (nobody knows for sure, actually), but… Read More Old is gold: 1955 Siata 300 BC
Actually we did not know exactly how to call this car: we know that – as the seller says – under the skin is the frame and engine of a Henry J. but we don’t know much else. Technically speaking, we do not know the year of manufacture of the chassis, nor the year in… Read More Time traveler: 1950 Kaiser Frazer Henry J. “Custom”
We have often seen replicas of many cars, obviously most of them reproduce the rare and economically unattainable cars, this time however it is different. In fact, it is the first time that we have seen the replica – made with entirely aluminum bodywork – of the same OSCA MT4 1500 made famous by the… Read More Hand made: 1955 O.S.C.A. MT4 Replica
We are all used to thinking of Italian cars in the “Sport” category as well as beautiful barchettas built specifically for racing: this is partly true. The part that is not true, or at least not always true, is that these cars are all beautiful. The primary objective of these cars was to win races… Read More Red torpedo: 1949 Fiat 1100 BLT Barchetta by Benedetti
We have often seen Berkeley like this for sale, but rarely in Europe and, even more rarely, a car that hasn’t been imported in the last 15 years. This small roadster was in fact imported at least 50 years ago by its first Italian owner who was supposed to be a true connoisseur: the internet… Read More Red 500: 1958 Berkeley Sport SE 492
If you think that there is another Barchetta like this, then we give you an advice: don’t waste your time looking for it because you won’t find another one. It is in fact an Ermini 1100 Sport that, from what we found around, was designed by Michelotti while the aluminum bodywork was made by Frua… Read More Blast from the past: 1955 Ermini 1100 Sport by Frua
