An icon needs no introduction unless, as on this occasion, it is not perfectly original, starting from the color. Well, the color is a good surprise because although the car is now blue, it was born in the color Fjord Green, very particular and quite rare on a Speedster; as for the rest, we have… Read More Blue but green: 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The title does not concern the code name of some members of a group linked to some black ops, but to the way in which many continue to call Alfa Romeos. Among the Alfa Romeos, this is one of the most sought after since it is a Giulietta Spider SWB (therefore type 750), in a… Read More Alpha 750: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
In the past and even in the present, the Alfa virus has infected many, which is why they are found everywhere, including the far north of the world. This 1600 Veloce, already rare in itself, is in fact in Sweden where it was imported – the seller says – in 1995, certainly for some change… Read More Children and hunting dogs: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
We have already talked about classic cars this week in “driver” conditions, but here we propose another one even if completely different from the 2600 Spider. Completely different for everything: year, type and construction philosophy; we have in fact realized that it is difficult to find an Alfa Romeo enthusiast who is also an Porsche… Read More Radium chance: 1952 Porsche 356 Coupé
The problem with a fully restored classic car, especially if with very high standards, is the fear of driving it to avoid ruining it: with this 1955 Speedster this problem does not exist. In fact, although apparently seeming (or at least in photos) a very nice car, actually this car would need several repairs that,… Read More Early body: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
The BMW e10 series, in this case represented by this silver 2002 Tii, was the german response to the sporty sedans built by Alfa Romeo: they didn’t have the charm of the cars built in Milano, and yet they were great two doors sedans. The engine of the Tii is a four inline fed by… Read More Needs nothing: 1974 BMW 2002 Tii
The last thing we would expect to see installed on a Mercedes 190 SL is an Abarth exhaust: you never stop learning and that’s it. Indeed the seller says that this car is equipped with the italian exhaust since 1971, the year before this car had its second repaint (after the original one). It is said to… Read More Abarth equipped: 1956 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
There is a very active bidding for this survivor 356 C Cabrio (chassis #161129) which actually should be a full matching number car, well preserved during the last 50 years. Full matching numbers car not because so says the Kardex but because the car has a full pack of documentation since it was new, among… Read More No shenanigans: 1965 Porsche 356 C Cabrio
This Speedster (chassis #82204) is one of the last driver around (at least we’ve seen few of them lately) as the last big job done on it was a repaint, 40 years ago. Actually the paint looks not bad but the seller says that it has some cracks and bubbles around even though they aren’t… Read More Cracks and bubbles: 1956 Porsche 356A Speedster
Here it is one of the very last SWB Giulietta Spider (chassis AR1495.06512): indeed not many know that there was been an “interim” series of Giulietta Spider which, although badged “750” and featured by small headlights, had already a long wheelbase and you can easily spot these car by the presence of the wing windows.… Read More The die is cast: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
