If there is a difficult undertaking in the world of classic cars, this is finding a car produced after the Second World War up to the 80s in the so-called “communist bloc”, which is beautiful to look at: here is an exception. In fact, this does not surprise us: since the 1920s, the Czech Republic… Read More Eastern bloc roadster: 1959 Skoda 450
After the Second World War, Europe was in pieces and had started to lick its wounds, yet at the same time there were people who commissioned cars like these. After all, it is not a novelty that rich people are certainly not suffering from the crises, however it is also true that if it were… Read More Post war glory: 1946 Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet by Pininfarina
800 cc, four carburettors, 67 hp at 8,000 rpm: that’s not the synthesis of a motorcycle but of a spider from the 60s. As you can imagine the manufacturer is called Honda and the car model is S800: let’s say that the manufacturer was familiar with motorcycle engines, and designing one for a small sports… Read More Four-wheeled bike: 1969 Honda S800 Cabriolet
We have already written on other occasions how difficult it is to find a nice, early Typ 1 specimen for sale, and we meant a specimen with a closed roof. Finding a cabriolet is extremely unlikely. All the more if we are talking about a specimen – according to the seller – which has never… Read More Clean cab: 1950 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet
It is Italian, it is convertible, it is very rare. Three excellent topics to report this very special Fiat which saw its birth a few months before the storm. Indeed, to be precise, “rare” is an understatement since, most likely, this is the only car of its kind. Obviously after 80 years and without adequate… Read More Less than two: 1939 Fiat 508 C Cabriolet by Viotti
This car, never restored from the moment it left the dealer, makes us understand some things that are often ignored. Do you know when, in some advertisements, classic cars of 50 or 60 years old are presented in fantastic conditions that are said to be “preserved”, “never restored” and so on? Well, most of the… Read More One family car: 1951 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet
The Belna is nothing but the French declination of the Lancia Augusta: obviously it wasn’t just the name, there were also differences due to a very specific reason. At the time, in fact, France imposed a duty of 85% of the value for the imported cars, but this duty could be circumvented by planting a… Read More Two for one: 1937 Lancia Belna F-234
In reality we did not understand very well from these photos the exact color of the car: it would seem a cross between green and blue, often called “oil green”. However it is called, the substance is that it is a very beautiful shade, especially when it is flanked by interiors and a soft top like… Read More Vert parisien: 1960 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
We are not lucky enough to be able to take a look at the engine of this 356 T6 convertible which is said to be a car matching numbers. But we can see both the bodywork and the floors quite well, and despite the appearances they are not so bad for a good body shop… Read More Believed matching: 1962 Porsche 356 B T6 Cabriolet
The Lotus 907 engine installed in this Jensen Healey was called “The Torqueless Wonder” for its lack of bottom end but good high end horsepower. Certainly the behavior does not surprise us: ask for 144 bhp to a 2000 c.c. naturally aspirated, built almost 50 years ago, and also to expect a consistent driving couple… Read More Torqueless Wonder: 1973 Jensen Healey
