“Patina” is quite an abused noun, often used to tag cars that are actually wrecks: in this case such noun is appropriate as this car looks just like an “old” car. Indeed this is – or seems, at least – a car that hasn’t ever been restored, neither partially: the paint, by now faded, seems… Read More Grey patina: 1962 Lancia Flaminia Coupé 2.5 by Pininfarina
This long-owned Maserati Ghibli 4.7 has been in the same family since 1979 but used until 1980 when the previous owner, the second one, parked the car in his garage and never drove it anymore. That’s because the family priorities took place and even because, unfortunately, he passed away without seeing his beloved car restored.… Read More Survival: 1970 Maserati Ghibli 4.7
This is a not matching numbers 911, in driver conditions, with a not original color and basically not much cared. Yet all this makes sense. It does because in a classic cars world that is always struggling to reach perfection, with a perfect paint, with all the right details in the right place, with every… Read More The road to San Jose: 1971 Porsche 911 T 2.2 Coupé
The Unobtanium brothers have found another aircooled machine: this time it’s a 356 A Coupé (chassis #100316), we believe a 60 hp, unearthed from some barn and now for sale without reserve. As usual, they are pretty clear about the conditions of the car: on one side this is said (and actually it seems) an… Read More Snake on the hood: 1957 Porsche 356 A T2 Coupé
Finding a special Fiat coupé still in restorable conditions is now a very rare thing, that’s why finding a 1500 Coupé built by Alemano is an event by now. Allemano was a well know coachbuilder which saw a peak in popularity during the first half of the sixties, when the company built top-notch cars among… Read More A special one: 1962 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Allemano
The strange thing about this Porsche 356 is that it’s an italian delivery car: that would not be strange for an italian car but it’s odd to see a 356 imported from Italy; indeed Porsche sold more than the 50% of its 356 production to the U.S.A. As an italian car, it has some features… Read More Italian silver: 1963 Porsche 356 B T6 Super 90 Coupé
We have always had a soft spot for these little coupés and the reason is simple: they’re small, cute, classy, nimble and very well made. That’s quite a good recipe. Indeed that’s not the first time we publish one and it will not be the last one: unfortunately, lately, it’s not easy to find one… Read More Small greatness: 1971 Simca 1200 S Coupé by Bertone
Morgan, in the mind of all the classic cars nuts, means “tradition”, however not many know that Morgan too tried to evolve during the sixties. This attempt produced the the Plus 4 Plus, a two seater “berlinetta” which should have changed the course of the Morgan production: a fiberglass body with a design that was… Read More Evolution of the species: 1964 Morgan Plus 4 “Plus”
This 3.0 CS is said to have been ordered with a lot of options: power sunroof, power windows, electric antenna, leather seats and air conditioning. Last but not least, it is said to have 47k original miles. Of course, no matter how good it was cared, the paint couldn’t be the original one and indeed the… Read More Chamonix white: 1973 BMW 3.0 CS
Did you ever see a car radio integrated in the rear view mirror? We didn’t, so this is the first time; however that’s not the only interesting aspect of this Cisitalia 850 Coupé. This is one of the few Cisitalia-Argentina built by the son of Piero Dusio, the founder of Cisitalia who left Italy for… Read More Invest in gold/2: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Coupé by Allemano
