Was red: 1959 Abarth 850 Coupè by Allemano

We always aim to understand exactly what the name of this particular Abarth is, as some call it “Scorpio” and others don’t. Obviously there is something we are missing. Never mind, the important thing is not the name but the car itself which in this case is in pretty bad shape: it certainly hasn’t seen… Read More Was red: 1959 Abarth 850 Coupè by Allemano

Split window: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupé

A little over 20 years ago I remember stumbling upon a ’63 Corvette for sale, in good condition, in Silver Blue. The asking price was $25,000. Although attracted by the car, I thought that the price was too high and gave it up: it is clear that if I had chosen the profession of fortune… Read More Split window: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupé

Bare minimum: 1960 Lotus Elite

This car could be called the perfect sports car: light, easy to handle, cheap to maintain, beautiful. It is difficult to find all these qualities together in another car. Sure, it’s probably not comfortable, but sporty and comfortable together are an oxymoron, so we won’t consider this last aspect. The fact is that when new,… Read More Bare minimum: 1960 Lotus Elite

From darkness/3: 1947 Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet by Vignale

Here is another car that emerges from the darkness and we assume, given the details of some photos, that it comes from South America. Obviously we are not sure but certainly, in relation to this car, there is very little, as in the announcement there are no details relating to the origin, the chassis number… Read More From darkness/3: 1947 Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet by Vignale

A little TLC: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce

Let’s say that perhaps a little tlc – as claimed by the seller – is perhaps an understatement to bring this beautiful Gulia Sprint GT Veloce back to life, however there could be excellent grounds for a restoration. The seller also says that this car is registered as 1968 and this is probably true, but… Read More A little TLC: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce

Sleeping bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce

It has been resting for many years, but hasn’t lost its charm yet, maybe it’s time someone put it back on the road. This Giulietta Sprint Veloce has belonged to the same owner for 20 years but is said to have been taken off the road in 1977: on the one hand this is negative… Read More Sleeping bialbero: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce

Uncle’s car: 1973 Saab Sonnett III

If, looking at this Swedish car, you have the impression of recognizing the Italian style of the time, you are not wrong. The designer of this small Swedish berlinetta is in fact Sergio Coggiola, a little-known car designer who, however, had important experiences such as the one at Ghia. Either way, the Sonnett IIII oozes… Read More Uncle’s car: 1973 Saab Sonnett III

Seasoned star: 1939 Mercedes-Benz 170V Cabriolet A

This is what a car that has been sitting in a shed for many decades looks like. A car, by the way, never restored since its pre-WWII production. In fact this car, during its long life, has seen a lot of history pass by it, and we are sure that it will probably still see… Read More Seasoned star: 1939 Mercedes-Benz 170V Cabriolet A

Very special: 1959 PMS Panhard

Finding very special cars for sale has always been our aim, and this little racing car fully satisfies that requirement, not least because it looks like a barn find. The builder of this car was Paul Meniessier, a Citroën agent and a pilot in the South of France. Ménissier designed and built this PMS-Panhard (PMS… Read More Very special: 1959 PMS Panhard

Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce

No, it is not our intention to publish all existing Veloces, however, given the car’s rarity, we feel compelled to do so every time we find one for sale. It is an example that we could define as a “barn find”, in the typical conditions of a 60-year-old Alfa Romeo that has not only been… Read More Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
