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

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
A few weeks ago we published a Fiat 1100-103 TV in excellent condition and with a price all in all correct, but this one has an even better price. Like the other car, this is an 1100 TV first series, then Mille Miglia eligible and seems to have been completely restored: as often happens unfortunately… Read More Red roof: 1955 Fiat 1100-103 TV
This 1100-103 TV is one of the cheapest ways to access the Mille Miglia since many of these cars joined the most famous race in the world from 1953 to 1957. TV is for “Turismo Veloce” ( literally “fast cruising” ), indeed this model, compared to 1100-103 “base”, had a motor with a larger carburetor, a… Read More Vip pass: 1955 Fiat 1100-103 TV
Orlandi built cars? Never heard of it before. So, we did a check on the book “La Sport e i suoi artigiani” which is the most important book eve made about the italian cars, but no trace of this car. And yet, Orlandi was a known coachbuilder specialized in building truck and coaches but we… Read More Unknown: 1955 Fiat 500C Barchetta by Orlandi
