What we have here is a package consisting of two very interesting cars, an English to be restored and an Italian one to drive. We must start by saying that both cars are rare: English is certainly rare, the Italian is very rare and it is really difficult to see around. Another difference lies in… Read More Britaly: 1953 Arnolt-MG Convertible + 1948 Siata SC 750 by Motto

If it is true that we like the small Fiat Berlinetta built in the 40s and 50s, it is also true that the convertibles built in the same period have their dignity of publication.

The world of classic cars, at least for what concerns us, is not just about cars produced in Europe but also iconic cars like this one, produced in the USA. As many (but not all) will know, this is a Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible of 1957, a true icon of the american automotive industry (and… Read More Larkspur barn find: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
Balbo was one of those coachbuilders who operated in the shadow of famous brands like Pininfarina, Farina or Vignale, however he built beautiful cars, especially before the WWII. Indeed Balbo shut his doors in 1954 but he still had time to build beautiful post war cars like this “Trasformabile” built on the six-cylinder Fiat 1500… Read More Find another one: 1950 Fiat 1500 6C Trasformabile by Balbo
