It is a car built entirely in Milan: the Portello factory and the Touring body shop were in fact so close that it was possible to walk from one to the other in half an hour. Yet, the original black license plate is that of Turin, the (once) automobile capital of Italy. In a few… Read More Black plate: 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint by Touring
Another day, another Fiat, but once again we are talking about a very special and very rare model. Very special as it is one of the very few (probably a hundred, but it is almost impossible to have a certain number, so we are talking about orders of magnitude) Fiat 600 Viotti in the coupé… Read More Little scorpion: 1956 Fiat 750 Coupé “Derivazione Abarth” by Viotti
Zagato has always built very particular and easily recognizable cars, however – perhaps an unpopular opinion – few of them can be defined as “beautiful” according to our tastes. Of course, this is an opinion (and we all know what people say about opinions) but the point is that Zagato’s construction philosophy was not devoted… Read More Trademark blue: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
Everyone stop: we know very well that there is no chance that this bodywork was built in 1935, and in fact the seller explains it in great detail. This example was first registered in Como, Italy on 5 January 1935. Subsequently sold to Imperia, Italy, in 1937 it was owned by Count Carlo Bruzzo, a… Read More Oddball: 1935 Lancia Augusta
We knew the sedan, station wagon and rare convertible versions, but we didn’t know of the existence of a coupé version, at least until a few days ago. Maybe we haven’t studied enough, but it’s also true that in years of sifting through tens of thousands of ads from all over the world, we’ve never… Read More Never seen before: 1963 Peugeot 403 Coupé
It is a car that was born black with a red interior, but has the history of previous owners, and one of them liked yellow. However, this 356 has no less charm, indeed, it wears a beautiful patina that should not be erased just to make it one of the many restored and shiny 365As.… Read More Black underwear: 1956 Porsche 356A Coupé
It wasn’t difficult, among cars built in the 1950s, to find cars that had “parents” of different nationalities: here is a representative specimen. The reason for this multiple paternity (or maternity) was the different specialization of the different countries: Nobody did bodywork as well as the Italians and therefore, for a luxury car, it was… Read More Niche stuff: 1954 Nash Healey Coupé by Pininfarina
Unfortunately, we cannot ask everyone to be generous with words in describing the car being sold, but it would be appropriate to at least give the main information. On the other hand it is also true that if the car is very particular, fewer words are needed because the interest of the potential buyer has… Read More Synthetic description: 1956 Fiat 1900 Granluce Coupé
The seller of this beautiful 1600S OSCA says that this is one of 814 built: perhaps this is true if you also consider the convertible versions. In fact, we have different data (better, or worse depending on the point of view): in fact, we understand that just under 300 specimens were built as regards the… Read More Silver italian: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
Pininfarina is certainly the best known Italian coachbuilder in the world, and certainly not without merit, but in our opinion Bertone was the one who “dared” most of all. By “daring” we mean that Bertone has always been the one who designed the bodywork with that extra inspiration that you would not expect, with solutions… Read More The french italian: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
