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
Perhaps you have already seen similar cars, but the truth is that most of the time you have seen a 600 Granluce, while here we are talking about a Coupe. The difference with the sister Granluce is obvious: the coupe has a low roof with a completely different design, much more slender and harmonious, which… Read More Small and red: 1958 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
We are not new to this particular variation of the legendary Fiat 1100/103, which for years has been the blank canvas on which many coachbuilders – not only Italian – have realized their vision. One of these, indeed one of the main ones, was Allemano, who designed both this coupé version and a Cabriolet version… Read More A different vision: 1953 Fiat 1100/103 Coupé by Allemano
It is the second time we see a Fiat Pininfarina like this on sale and, definitely, we are amazed because we thought that after the one published here, we would not have seen another one on sale for many years to come. But there is nothing more beautiful than being amazed (in a positive sense)… Read More Swedish plate: 1958 Fiat 1200 Coupé by Pininfarina
And here, every now and then, another one of these small, elegant coupés comes out, built on a humble but solid base and dressed by a top-tier coachbuilder. The carmaker in question is (or rather, it was) Alfredo Vignale whose career was very eclectic: he built cars for rich industrialists and movie stars but he… Read More Little blue special: 1955 Fiat 600 Rendez Vous by Vignale
What we propose today is certainly not “the deal of the century”, but it is such a special car that it deserves to be mentioned. It is in fact an experiment carried out by the Moretti body shop for some very wealthy customers who were not satisfied with having “just” a Maserati 3500 GT, but… Read More Second life: 1966 Maserati 3500 GT by Moretti
Few cars built, fine finishes, based on a Fiat chassis and engine: it is the typical identikit of Italian custom-built cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s. This identikit is also true for this creature of one of the most famous Italian coachbuilders, Vittorino Viotti, certainly not as famous as Pininfarina, Bertone or Vignale, but… Read More Little big coachbuilt: 1960 Fiat 600 “Granluce” by Viotti
This is really a strange car and perplexes us for several reasons, starting with the bodywork that it is very familiar to us. In fact, as many of you have already suspected, this is a body already seen elsewhere: it was taken integrally from a Ghia 1500 Coupé, built from 1965 to 1967, and adapted… Read More Transformers: 1971 Coachbuilt Renault R177
