That’s not a news that Hollywood celebrities, with scarce exceptions, often used to reward themselves with an european supercar when they arrived at the top of their popularity: Ava Gardner was one of those. Indeed she chose this HK500 (chassis HK-Z1) in the late fifties. The auctioneer says that this car was delivered new to her,… Read More Ava’s black one: 1959 Facel Vega HK 500
O.T.S. is the original name given by the factory to these cars to indicate an Open Two Seater car. This XK120 has been carried out from somewhere (an enclosed space we suppose) where it was sleeping since many years. Watching those strange wheels with those giant tires we suppose that the last time that this… Read More Balloon shoes: 1954 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
It’s rare to find a DB2/4 with the steering wheel on the left side, and this car is one of the few to boast this feature. Indeed most of the Aston of the mid fifties were produced with a right hand drive, not much were made with the LHD as they costed, back then, as… Read More Steering wheel ok: 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4
Actually this 1750 GTV is something about a barn find and a good, usable car: for sure it’s not a proper “Find” as the seller stores it in his garage. Probably the car is stored and it has not been much used in the last years; interiors looks quite good even if they’re used as a… Read More Something in the middle: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1750 Veloce
This car, if what the seller says is true, is one of the top barn find ever. Not much for the marque and model, but because this car is said to have just 6,700 miles from new. Indeed the seller says that he put new tires, new brakes, new fuel system and a new battery, but… Read More 6,700 miles from new: 1953 MG TD
Just when we think that top cars barn finds are finished, here it is another one popped out from a garage in UK. It’s an Aston Martin DB2/4 which ran for only 12 years after it was bought new in UK, then it was put in storage and it never saw the light again until… Read More Do not touch: 1955 Aston Martin DB2/4
This is a barn find located in Dallas: we would be surprised if the guys of Gas Monkey Garage don’t go to inspect it for one of their project, or just to flip it to someone who’s willing to restore it. This is the queen of the Camaro breed (with the exception of the Yenko, of… Read More Paging Gas Monkey: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS
What is so jarring about this car is the difference between exterior and interior: the first make you think “Oh my God!”, the second make you say “Wow!”. Indeed this is a one owner car which, unfortunately, has been use dfor two year only by the US Serviceman who bought it in Germany with a… Read More Jarring duality: 1970 Porsche 911 E
We’ve seen many barn finds but it’s the first time we see a Volvo P1800 carried out of a long storage. Indeed the seller says that the last run of this car was in 1998, then it was stored in a dry garage, the same place from which it is just out. The seller says… Read More The Swede in the barn: 1970 Volvo P1800 E
1961 was the first production year of the Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina: in that year the only available engine was the 2500 c.c. unit fed by a single carburetor. This particular car, although publicized as a 1966 car, was produced in 1961 (the original black plate can’t lie). There is no description in the ad… Read More Dusty sleeper: 1961 Lancia Flaminia 2500 Coupé by Pininfarina
