We were not familiar with this berlinetta, which closely resembles the FIAT 8V models built by Zagato, and perhaps the reason is that it is likely a one-of-a-kind example. Besides its rarity, this car also seems to have been a winner: the seller claims that it placed first in its class at the Sebring and… Read More Glorious past: 1955 Bandini GTV by Zagato
This 1951 Siata Daina 1400 Berlinetta offers a – not cheap – restoration opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian automotive craftsmanship. The vehicle features matching numbers and has been preserved as a restoration project. The Siata Daina, introduced in 1951, was a collaboration between SIATA and the coachbuilder Stabilimenti Farina. Built on the Fiat… Read More Little B20: 1951 Siata Daina Berlinetta by Farina
Browsing through the ads on the net, it is not that difficult to come across an Abarth 750 from the 1950s or 1960s, however this is not the case with this particular car. This is indeed the Berlinetta version built by Allemano, characterized by a more slender line and above all by the particular shape… Read More Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano
Very few cars like this have survived time and road accidents. Indeed, as far as we are concerned this is the first one we see for sale. In fact it is easy to confuse this Moretti 600 with the Algier-Le Cap, but in reality there are differences even if at first glance they look like… Read More Split screen: 1951 Moretti 600 Berlinetta
This car is as small as the charisma it emanates is big: you don’t need to be a supercar to turn heads. The merit is a very accurate design and studied in every detail: customers who, more than 50 years ago, bought cars like these wanted to feel driving a high-level car while spending acceptable… Read More Big charisma: 1969 Fiat 850 Sport Racer Berlinetta by Bertone
Very few specimens of this model were built, and only a handful survive today: this is one of the best ever. Based on the Fiat 1400, the Siata Daina was built in several versions including some, such as the Sport and Gran Sport, widely used in competitions, particularly in the USA in championships such as… Read More Classy special: 1950 Siata Daina Coupé by Farina
Probably few car manufacturers have lived as little as the ASA but are equally well known, and in our opinion there is a very specific reason. The reason lies in the same idea that moved the founder: a car that summarized the needs and aspirations of the Italian motorist of the early 60s: on the… Read More All or nothing at all: 1964 ASA 1000 GT
We have written several times, but we will never tire of thinking or reiterating it, that if there is a story that deserves to be told, that concerns the countless creations based on Fiat 1100 chassis. And we are not only talking about the 1100-103 frames but also those of the previous series, that is… Read More Former sedan: 1938 Fiat 508C Berlinetta by Geburth
We know that Classic Virus readers expect us to publish some very special cars, produced in very limited series and better still if Italian. It goes without saying that this is not easy but sometimes we manage to find something special. What we have found for sale today is a very special small car: it… Read More Rare bird: 1956 Fiat 600 Coupé by Monterosa
Not long ago we published a yellow A108, in conditions that looked beautiful. Today we have another one, but in much less seductive conditions than the first. It is in effect a car to be restored in its entirety, however it seems anything but a wreck: there is certainly a careful work to do to… Read More French bronze: 1966 Alpine A108
