Lichtgrau survivor: 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEb

The Mercedes-Benz 220 SEb belongs to the W111 “Heckflosse” generation introduced in 1959, combining the restrained tailfins of Paul Bracq’s design with considerably more modern engineering than its appearance might suggest. The 220 SEb used Mercedes’ 2.2-litre fuel-injected six-cylinder engine and independent suspension, including the characteristic single-pivot swing axle at the rear. While restored W111… Read More Lichtgrau survivor: 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEb

Aircraft cockpit: 1955 Messerschmitt KR200

The Messerschmitt KR200 arrived in 1955 as the more developed successor to the KR175, retaining the aircraft-like tandem seating and hinged transparent canopy that made the Kabinenroller immediately recognizable. Built by Messerschmitt in Regensburg and designed by Fritz Fend, it used a 191 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine driving the single rear wheel. Its extremely low… Read More Aircraft cockpit: 1955 Messerschmitt KR200

Assertion of wealth: 1936 Lancia Dilambda Berlina “6 luci” by Farina

This 1935 Lancia Dilambda, chassis no. 1256, is a rare piece of Lancia history, preserved in its original condition. Though the chassis was produced in 1935, the car was homologated and registered in 1936 after being completed by Stabilimenti Farina, one of the most prestigious coachbuilders ever. This luxurious six-window sedan was designed for the… Read More Assertion of wealth: 1936 Lancia Dilambda Berlina “6 luci” by Farina

Preserved silver: 1947 Fiat 1100S 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

Not abused: 1973 Ford Bronco

We like off-road vehicles (after all, it is difficult to find a classic two, three or four-wheel vehicle that does not arouse our interest) but clearly it is more difficult to find a classic off-road vehicle for sale because up to 40 years ago very few were produced. In the USA there was Jeep and… Read More Not abused: 1973 Ford Bronco

Just enough scraped: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster

If there is a cliché about a vintage car, this Speedster is its plastic representation: black, red interior and paint worn by time. 62 years have passed since the construction of this 356 Speedster, assembled in Germany two years before the year in which the film Back to the Future (which I am watching while I… Read More Just enough scraped: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster

Wonderfully preserved: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera L

It is certainly one of the most beautiful Pantera we have ever seen, for just two – but important – reasons. The first is obvious and concerns the color: we cannot remember the last time we saw a Pantera painted in silver; we have probably never seen one before and this is the first, and… Read More Wonderfully preserved: 1973 De Tomaso Pantera L

Invest in silver: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750

This might seem like a week deliberately dedicated to Alfa Romeo, but it depends only on the ads we happen to find and, of course, the condition of the car. However, we believe that many of you do not mind seeing a worthy representative of the Alfa of the 1960s: a Duetto 1750, a version… Read More Invest in silver: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto 1750

Montreal, Texas: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

This Sprint 2600 seems to have arrived in Canada after having been “resident” for some years in Texas: if it comes to the western part of this last state, it follows that the car must be quite dry. Dust aside, the paint seems to be the original one and, as we have read, the color… Read More Montreal, Texas: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

California dust: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Super Sport by Zagato

Among the many things that we would have expected was certainly not a Flaminia Super Sport in these conditions: it seems to have stopped for 35 years, that is since it is said to have been parked in a garage and no longer used. The seller says that this is a traded-in car: the question… Read More California dust: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Super Sport by Zagato
