This special little car may not have offered its first owners the thrill of speed, but it certainly offered them a lot of style. This Moretti 750 in fact was part of that niche of cars which, although small, were intended for a small circle of customers as they were built on demand and tailored… Read More Blue on blue: 1958 Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde
This special Fiat has been under our radar for a long time, certainly since it was on sale in Italy six or seven years ago: it is rare and it is very beautiful. It is also very similar to the Ferrari 166 cabriolet built by Farina coachworks in the same year, so much so that… Read More Winemaker’s car: 1949 Fiat 1100 B Convertibile by Farina
For collectors and simple enthusiasts of classic cars there are not many things more exciting than cars modified by small, and often unknown, manufacturers, even if they are not even manufacturers in the strict sense, but only enthusiasts who have wanted to build their own visions. In this case, confirming what has just been written,… Read More Stranger things: 1959 Volkswagen Typ 1 one-off
The seller of this rare Ghia 1500 GT says that 846 cars like this have been built, and that currently 30 survive: we are not sure about this last figure, however we are still talking about a very rare car. Over the years we have seen several 1500 GTs for sale (both in photos and… Read More Golden ticket: 1964 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Ghia
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
