This car angered Enzo Ferrari. Certainly not because he thought that he could compete with his cars, but on the contrary, because he was too similar to the latter. In particular, it was too similar to the Ferrari 166 Inter Cabriolet, whose bodywork was made just by Farina. In reality this was quite normal as… Read More Almost Ferrari: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
Enthusiasts like us know very well what it feels like to see a very rare car locked up in a dark and messy garage: in our opinion, you never get used to it. And the strange thing is that to feel that feeling you don’t even need to be on the spot in person, a… Read More The baby blue one: 1949 Fiat 1100 “Derby” by Bertone
We are not writing anything new when we argue that “Barn Find” conditions are what most fascinate collectors or simple enthusiasts, but when it comes to pre-war cars, it increases exponentially. We do not know what the history of this car is but it is the car itself that can tell us a part of… Read More Patina Monster/9: 1935 Lancia Augusta by Viotti
It’s nice to see cars like this coming up for sale: until a few years ago there were so many but now it seems that they have almost disappeared from the market. We are clearly talking about very special models produced in very few specimens for which we have survived a few, very few. As… Read More Rare bird: 1949 Fiat 1100B Cabriolet by Farina
In our opinion, there should be a specific branch of classic car collecting dedicated to custom-built cars built on a Fiat basis. But we are biased. This is a very rare – and we do not exaggerate much stating that it could be the only one in existence – “St. Leger” built by Bertone in… Read More Blue on blue / 3: 1950 Fiat 1400 St. Leger Cabriolet by Bertone
Here we are in the presence of a very rare – probably unique – coachbuilt Fiat built by Vignale at the beginning of the famous body shop: even if Vignale seems to have always built cars, it actually lasted (under the guidance of Alfredo) only twenty years. Twenty years only but very intense, which have… Read More Green orchid: 1950 Fiat 1400 Orchidea by Vignale
This little spider is not only one of the very few produced on the basis of the Fiat 600D, but it is also one of two presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1963, says the seller. In support of this statement, the seller indicates the presence of a chrome molding on the nose of… Read More Tourin car: 1963 Moretti 750 Spyder
Although not the first to be released, the Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde is certainly a very rare car. Of course, it is less rare than the convertible version (we found one in the USA a few years ago, in a rather poor state) but it remains a model of which today only a few… Read More Raspberry & cream: 1958 Moretti 750 Tour Du Monde
We are always willing to publish special Fiats, that is all those built by the galaxy of coachbuilders who worked in Turin. In this case we are dealing with a car from 1963, or in the period in which the inexorable decline of the profession of “coachbuilder” began in its highest form, that is to… Read More Affluent coachbuilt: 1963 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Allemano
This 1100 TV is part of that small circle of coupes built by Vignale in the end of the fifties, of which very few survive today. A great-uncle of mine had one then (I’m talking about the late 1950s), and at the time this was considered a high-end car and it definitely made the owner… Read More Inner circle: 1956 Fiat 1100 Tv “Desireé” by Vignale
