After a week full of hundred thousands dollars car, here it is something cheap but no less particular: watched from the front it looks like the nose of a Space Shuttle. Unfortunately this is much slower than a Shuttle: actually it doesn’t run at all as it is missing the engine which, on this car,… Read More Snowmobile rocket: 1970 Trimuter
This rare Alfa Romeo 1900 C built by Zagato is said to have been parked for years in a collector’s garage which, other than this car, accomodates also other important cars like a Cisitalia Aerodinamica built designed by Savonuzzi. I remember well when I found one of these, a green one in good conditions, ten… Read More Sleeping with the enemy: 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900C by Zagato
Two days, two white coupes. The one published on last friday was a german coupè equipped with cutting edge technology (for its period), this indeed is an italian monster with 50’s technology. Of course saying “BMW” is nowhere near to say “Maserati” and this, coupled with the fact that the Mexico was produced in near… Read More Another white: 1967 Maserati Mexico

We find that this is a very particular shade which is stunning if mated with… Read More Chocolate powder: 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Coupé

Among the three published, this one is the only car in not-driveable conditions: it’s clearly a barn find… Read More No foolish: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
There are many restored E-Type which fetch a lot of money at several auctions worldwide: those are generally restored cars but this isn’t. Indeed the seller says that this is an original car, an unmolested California black plate (unfortunately now that plate has been replaced) which have been stored in a garage for 30 years… Read More White survivor: 1964 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 F.H.C.
This Jaguar XK 120 Open Two Seater is buried under a pile of unused home stuff and, at a glance, it doesn’t look well as is, however the seller says that it has no rust. Other than that, the seller says that the car is basically intact and that it still has its original California… Read More Pink slip: 1951 Jaguar XK 120 O.T.S.
This Sunbeam Tiger is, for the uninitiated, a little british roadster pushed by an american V8: basically what you see is not what you hear. The seller says that this is a true survivor as it has been stored since the ’70s but only recently it has been brough back to life: now it has… Read More Back to life: 1964 Sunbeam Tiger
