Patina tourer: 1964 Morgan +4 Tourer

When wee see and old, unrestored Morgan of course our first thought goes to the rust and to the rotten wood, but could be an exception to this cliché. Actually this is a car which, as the seller says, has been drive the last time about twenty years ago from California to Nevada and then parked… Read More Patina tourer: 1964 Morgan +4 Tourer

Dull white: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale

We didn’t expect to spot a Sprint Speciale not yet restored, but sometimes there are more cars around than how you could imagine. Actually this is a Giulietta SS (chassis AR120*00693) which clearly hasn’t been ever restored or, at least, never painted: the white is almost flattened and the car has also some rust on… Read More Dull white: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale

Unrestored and matching numbers: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

The seller of this 190 SL has spent few words to describe the car but maybe we understand why: there’s no much to talk about this car. And that’s why this 190 SL is nothing more and nothing less of a barn find: it has probably been washed with steam or hi-pressure water but it… Read More Unrestored and matching numbers: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL

Puzzling puzzle: 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4

This is not the first time we find a DB2/4 for sale in need of a total restoration, however it’s the first time that we see one for sale spread around a garage. That is because someone has begun to disassemble the car in order to perform a serious restoration job on this blue chip… Read More Puzzling puzzle: 1957 Aston Martin DB2/4

Left handed: 1953 Alvis TA21 Drophead Coupé

The car you’re looking at is one of 302 produced, of which around 80  with the steering wheel on the left. So that’s quite a rare car especially because it looks to be in great conditions. The seller says that the car has a little more than 31k miles and that it was last driven… Read More Left handed: 1953 Alvis TA21 Drophead Coupé

Black eyes: 1970 Plymouth Superbird

This 1970 Superbird is said to be a barn find and a great candidate for a restoration. You may like it or not but this rare vehicle is still an icon of the muscle car era. These were equipped with three different engines: a 440 V8 Super Commando with a single barrel of the “Six… Read More Black eyes: 1970 Plymouth Superbird

Heat treatment: 1971 Lamborghini Espada

What remains of this Lamborghini Espada (chassis #8432) doesn’t involve anything related to gearbox and engine: indeed this last one caught fire some years ago and then has been removed from the car which was born painted in silver with a black cockpit. The fire damaged the engine, of course, the bonnet and the windscreen… Read More Heat treatment: 1971 Lamborghini Espada

Fifty years long sleep: 1959 Cadillac Coupé Deville

That’s not easy to find a true barn find Coupé Deville in the (almost) same shape as when it left the factory, but sometimes it still happens and this blue ’59 proofs that. By the way we never saw this color combo on a ’59: we’ve far away to be Cadillac experts but we’ve seen hundreds… Read More Fifty years long sleep: 1959 Cadillac Coupé Deville

More than bravery: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2500 3C Convertibile by Touring

No papers, no engine, no build year: these are the first things to deal with if you are going to buy this car which needs much more than an engine and a transmission. Indeed the “1966” put in the title is just a guess: the seller didn’t tell about it nor we could know it… Read More More than bravery: 1966 Lancia Flaminia 2500 3C Convertibile by Touring

Low gravity, Lower chassis: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupè

We are perfectly aware that these cars aren’t much loved by most people but a small bunch of passionate fans but, because we are part of these, it was obligatory for us to publish this very early KG. Very early as 1955 was the first production year for the Karmann Ghia and in that year… Read More Low gravity, Lower chassis: 1955 Karmann Ghia Coupè
