In the 1930s (but also later) it was thought that a “streamlined” line was also aerodynamic: the science of fluids has however proved to be often counter-intuitive. The tapered tail (or boattail), on the other hand, creates turbulence that is harmful to the car’s aerodynamic resistance and is therefore not only poorly indicated but also… Read More Streamliner: 1935 Fiat 508 C Berlinetta Mille Miglia Aerodinamica
A necessary (but not sufficient) requirement for a car to be admitted to the modern edition of the Mille Miglia is that the car was built by 1957, the year in which the last edition of the legendary race took place. However, every year (except 2020 and the current year, for reasons we know well)… Read More Mille Miglia ticket: 1955 Fiat 600
Perhaps it is a bit late for the participation of the Mille Miglia 2020 (in progress these days), however if the thing still interests you, this car could be the right one. It is in fact a Panhard HBR 5 first series, built in 1956 and characterized, precisely as the first series, by retractable headlights,… Read More Orange racer: 1956 DB HBR 5 “Mille Miglia”
It is often difficult to find interesting classic cars for sale, indeed, the more time passes the more difficult this task becomes. Until a handful of years ago we found many cars which, despite not having high prices, were cars on which we would have bet all our pennies and often, very often, time has… Read More Preserved silver: 1947 Fiat 1100S Mille Miglia
It doesn’t often happen to see cars like these for sale not at an auction but with a normal ad posted by a private individual, but it’s nice when it does. The car we are talking about is none the less one of the best known Alfa Romeos in the world of collectors: a 1750… Read More Big blower: 1930 Alfa Romeo 1750 GS Compressore by Zagato
You can be a veteran of many things, some very unpleasant, some a little less, and some decidedly fun. Fortunately for this car, its past is linked not to a war, but to the Mille Miglia. The edition we are talking about is that of 1955, which saw Stirling Moss as absolute winner at the… Read More The veteran: 1955 Moretti 750 Sport Barchetta
If you think that there is another Barchetta like this, then we give you an advice: don’t waste your time looking for it because you won’t find another one. It is in fact an Ermini 1100 Sport that, from what we found around, was designed by Michelotti while the aluminum bodywork was made by Frua… Read More Blast from the past: 1955 Ermini 1100 Sport by Frua
“Fuoriserie” in Italian means all the cars not mass-produced, and was a term used very much from the beginning of the century until the 60s, when the era of coachbuilders began to set. The particular thing was that the custom-built cars were not only extremely expensive cars, destined to the most elite band of… Read More Fuoriserie: 1957 Fiat 600 Rendez Vous by Vignale
This very rare (unique, actually) small spider was built using a Gilco tubular frame and dressed by Zagato. You will not see many others like this around, that’s for sure. Indeed, this car belongs to the large family of special cars that were built to order by wealthy drivers who were planning to participate in… Read More One of one: 1951 Gilco 205 MM by Zagato
