Here we are in the presence of one of the best pieces among the Italian cars of the 60s: an important factory and an equally famous coachbuilder. It is worth saying that this is not a car born to have a “civil” use and therefore converted to racing: the OSCA 1600 GT was born with… Read More Winning four: 1963 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
Here is another example of our favorite Fiat from the 60s: a 1600S Coupe with the type 118b engine produced in less than 300 units. It is easy to recognize this model immediately: from the outside it is identical to the 1500 Coupè (the one with a pushrod engine) with the exception of the front… Read More Grey hound: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé O.S.C.A. by Pininfarina
It is italian, It has a soft top, it was built in the early 60s, it has a twin overhead cam engine, but it is not a Giulietta Spider. Actually it is what should have been a competitor of the famous spider built by Alfa Romeo, it had all the credentials to do it but… Read More Stored 50 years: 1960 Fiat 1500S Spider
We have often seen replicas of many cars, obviously most of them reproduce the rare and economically unattainable cars, this time however it is different. In fact, it is the first time that we have seen the replica – made with entirely aluminum bodywork – of the same OSCA MT4 1500 made famous by the… Read More Hand made: 1955 O.S.C.A. MT4 Replica
Exactly as the title suggests, we publish this beautiful boat on which, however, we have some curiosities to satisfy. The seller says that the aluminum bodywork was made by Viotti, and this is a great thing as long as it is possible to prove it by means of documentation and / or photos of the… Read More No head inlets: 1957 O.S.C.A. 1500 S by Viotti
If we exclude high-end cars. in the 60s the car models with a double overhead camshaft engine, intended for an “average” clientele, could be counted on the fingers of one hand. In Italy, in addition to the Alfa Romeo (of course) one could opt for another car, which in our opinion was no less fascinating… Read More The rival: 1961 Fiat 1500S OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
This Fiat 1500, equipped with the twin cam O.S.C.A. engine, features a beautiful patina over its red paint, but it actually was born painted in pale blue. Indeed the previous owner was an enthusiast racer, as all the period badges on the top of the dashboard say, and so he thought that the red paint… Read More Solid patina: 1962 Fiat 1500 O.S.C.A. Cabriolet by Pininfarina
This car really needs nothing as it is one of the most beautiful specimen seen so far belonging to the small batch of 1600S coupé produced by Pininfarina on behalf of FIAT. It is clearly a car coming from Italy (where we believe that the 99% of these were sold when new), indeed the seller… Read More Needs nothing/2: 1964 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé
The “standard” Fiat 1600S Coupé is yet a rare car as just 273 were build, this one is a special version built by Fissore coachworks and so here we’re talking of a true rarity. Indeed we don’t know how many of these were built: we have some literature but nowhere there are the production numbers of… Read More Italian japanese: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Fissore
Update, 29th of March: the seller told us that the car has been sold. As usual we monitor how many 1600S are for sale around and as usual no more than one or two of these type 118b are for sale in an year. This is the first one of 2017. This car is said… Read More Feeling blue: 1963 Fiat 1600S OSCA Coupé
