This is really a rare bird: we only saw it in passing in a book about the “Special” Fiat 600s, but never in person, let alone for sale. It is one of the innumerable interpretations of the Turin coachbuilders (and not only) made on the very versatile and solid base of the Fiat 600: in… Read More Rare bird: 1964 Fiat 600/750 by Scioneri
Didn’t you know that there is also a four-door version of the Fiat 600? well, now you do. Surely it is not surprising not to know this version, created in very few specimens by Francis Lombardi coachworks: so far we have only seen period photos and advertisings; we suspected that some would have survived but… Read More The variant four: 1959 Fiat 600 Lucciola by Francis Lombardi
The problem with writing a review of cars like this is that often we don’t even know how to define the model to be included in the title: the only sure thing is that the chassis is that of a Kubelwagen. As many know, the Kubelwagen was a vehicle used by the German army during… Read More Something different: 1951 Volkswagen Kubelwagen “Bolide”
As often happens – far too much, actually – we are talking about a rare car that hardly appears on the market, and here is another one after only one week. Two cars that are part of a single batch of about 300 specimens, on sale simultaneously after more than sixty years are a curious… Read More Two of few: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 Primavera by Boano
The great diversity of special cars built in the 1950s in Italy, using Fiat 1100 chassis and engines, is well represented by this small berlinetta. Here too we have a chassis derived from the Fiat 1100-103 TV and also its engine which, of course, has been further elaborated with respect to the Fiat specifications: sometimes… Read More Rare goods: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Vignale
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
For some time now this seller has been amazing for the rarity of the specimens that he often puts up for sale, and the car that we publish today is just the latest in a long series. It is – most likely – a unique specimen, built on a Moretti 750 chassis and engine and… Read More Bundle of snakes: 1960 Moretti 750 Spider by Corna
It may seem that we are repetitive, but as long as there are small classic cars built by master coachbuilders for sale, we will publish them. Now, it’s not like a Fiat 600 Coupe is on every street corner, it’s not – let’s say – a commodity, so being repetitive to have a car published… Read More 64 years, 2 owners: 1956 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
We are all used to thinking of Italian cars in the “Sport” category as well as beautiful barchettas built specifically for racing: this is partly true. The part that is not true, or at least not always true, is that these cars are all beautiful. The primary objective of these cars was to win races… Read More Red torpedo: 1949 Fiat 1100 BLT Barchetta by Benedetti
The other time it was white, this time has a two-tone paint job: blue with a white roof, it’s certainly very elegant. Obviously it remains a very small car: it was even 60 years ago, so today it seems almost a pedal car, especially if you put it alongside a common utility car of our… Read More Blue outside: 1957 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti
