The fact that most Italian classic cars are red is nothing more than a myth built over the years, a myth that has a precise origin. The myth is linked to the fact that until the 1960s, road cars that participated in official races had to have colors established by regulations: red for the Italians,… Read More Humphreys’ car: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
Of the many Giulietta Spiders we published, very few, indeed probably none (at least as far as we can remember) were black. And when we say black we mean born that way, certainly not repainted in the course of her life. Black is a color that according to me gives a lot to this car:… Read More Black shade: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
This is a P1800 that has the letter S on its badge. This does not mean, as you might guess, “Sport” but Sverige, or in English: Sweden, seat of the factory where its production had been moved. In fact, initially (officially from 1961 to 1963), the production of this car was entrusted to the Jensen… Read More Bull horns: 1964 Volvo P1800 S
Technically speaking, this Mustang GTA is a one-of-a-kind specimen. Clearly its uniqueness is due to a combination of features testified by its Marti Report. Let’s start with the fact that, Marti Report aside, this GTA looks like a real survivor, a car that has never been restored and arrived intact to us: the seller says… Read More Surviving raven: 1968 Ford Mustang GTA 390 Fastback
Let’s face it: fans of the German brand have seen, in the last 5-6 years, the values of many models soar, and probably the series that has seen the most grow and its value is the E9. The series we are talking about includes the “CS” and “CSL” models: ten years ago you brought home… Read More Northern black: 1967 BMW 2000 CS
Let’s face it: it is an unsafe car, it does not brake very well, it has an engine that produces more or less the same power as a Fiat Panda, the winter heating is poor as well as the waterproof seal of the hood and, finally, it is very expensive. But there is also a… Read More Freedom of choice: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
One of the best children of the Italian-American collaboration was certainly the Nash Healey, especially in the roadster version. As you can imagine, this is also a rare model as around 150 have been built (although we know how difficult it is to know the exact numbers, especially for smaller manufacturers), and far fewer… Read More Triple black: 1952 Nash-Healey Roadster by Pininfarina
It is said that only 5 of these cars produced in 1942 still survive: we do not know if this is correct but even if the real number was ten times higher, it would still be a super rare car. In addition to being very beautiful, this car is powered by a flathead V12 engine:… Read More V12 roots: 1942 Lincoln Zephyr 3 Window Coupé
The Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera is the direct heir of the “noble” 2.7 RS but, paradoxically, for many years no one has thought about it, perhaps only because of the bumpers. The 2.7 RS is in fact part of the family of the so-called “Pre-bumpers”, that is the most sought-after 911s, while starting from 74… Read More Black duck: 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7
We have seen many De Tomaso Pantera for sale in recent years, but never so black as this one. The reason is certainly because this is a newly restored car but not enough: black is the most difficult color to apply on a body (ask any coachbuilder) because the black color also highlights the smallest… Read More Pitch-black: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera
