Small displacement: 1976 Lamborghini Urraco P200

It is rare to find one of these Urraco P200 for sale and not only because it is a Lamborghini: only 66 were built. The reasons for these small numbers are essentially two: on the one hand, the fact that we are talking about an expensive sports car created just three years after the biggest… Read More Small displacement: 1976 Lamborghini Urraco P200

Vintage dust: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster

“The Cobra in the Barn: Great Stories of Automotive Archeology” was a book published in 2005 by Tom Cotter, which met with moderate success among classic car enthusiasts: it would certainly have included this 300SL if it had been resurrected 15 years before. Seeing the photos of the ad surprised us: first of all because… Read More Vintage dust: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster

HIR 993: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring

When, in the world of classic cars, it is said “it is original only once”, it is not just the fact that it left the factory and is no longer modified. That saying also means that, as people get to grips with it, some details – related to the finishing of one part or the… Read More HIR 993: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring

Santa Fe Trail/2: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super

As time passes we expect less and less to find cars like the Giulia 1600 Super in conditions similar to the original ones, so we like to be surprised as in this case. The seller says that the car made a long journey from the state of NY to Texas where he previously resided, it… Read More Santa Fe Trail/2: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super

Airborne: 1941 Tatra T87

These cars are very rare, and even more rarely appear on the market in “barn find” conditions such as this one, parked in a barn since 1990. We are talking about a Tatra T87, built in the Czech Republic with a bodywork designed by the great Paul Jaray, made with lines and materials that winked… Read More Airborne: 1941 Tatra T87

74,917 Original miles: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé

Finding a 356B Coupé for sale is not great news, we all know. Yet sometimes there are exceptions to be made. We make exceptions in special cases such as the one we are presenting. The peculiarity of this car is, on the one hand, that of being a rare Super 90 model (therefore with 90… Read More 74,917 Original miles: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé

Time traveler: 1950 Kaiser Frazer Henry J. “Custom”

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”

Black barn find: 1959 AC ACE Bristol

Fifty years are, in human terms, a very long time. There are many people who at the age of 50 are not even lucky enough to arrive and others, such as the former owner of this Ace Bristol, have even owned the same car for all these years. The previous owner actually bought the car… Read More Black barn find: 1959 AC ACE Bristol

Thin paint: 1959 Devin “D” Porsche

This car (chassis # DD7-6) is one of the fantastic Devin D produced in the 50s using Porsche mechanics and, apart from the paintwork, it doesn’t look bad at all. The truth is that little of the pint has remained (it seems that the original color was Porsche silver 6206) as someone has sanded the… Read More Thin paint: 1959 Devin “D” Porsche

Blue on blue: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster

On the classic car forums I have attended in the past, I remember that the phrase “they are still out there” often came up. This car is proof that that sentence was correct. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, hidden in a barn and in these conditions, in 2020 by now, is an extremely rare event, and… Read More Blue on blue: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster
