The make and model of this project need no introduction: even those who are not enthusiastic about classic cars probably know this unmistakable profile. The spider version obviously has the peculiarity of the canvas roof, but our personal opinion is that the coupé profile is difficult to beat even by cars that are worth ten… Read More Aged Burgundy: 1962 Jaguar E-Type FHC
This F11 was abandoned in the countryside: today it seems strange to us but this was often – almost always, we would say – the end of these vans made by Alfa Romeo. If you think about it all this is not strange: if only up to twenty years ago someone had told you that… Read More Country boy: 1971 Alfa Romeo F11
GT Juniors to be restored are increasingly rare. And when they are found, they now have prices that until ten years ago they asked for a car in almost perfect condition. We could say, to paraphrase Humphrey Bogart, That’s the market, baby. The market! And there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing! So when… Read More Big heart: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT Junior
It’s white, it’s dry, has a V8 engine and it’s nearly complete – a great calling card for any classic car to be restored. And even more so if the car in question is a BMW 501, quite rare from the point of view of the units produced and above all for how many are… Read More White whale: 1960 BMW 501
There are few cars, among those ever built, beautiful even if neglected and rusty. This is precisely the case with the E-Type roadster. In addition to being a spider (technically the name given by Jaguar for this version is OTS or Open Two Seater), this car is a true icon of world motoring along with… Read More Carmen red: 1966 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.
Well yes, it seems that this is the Veloce version of a Giulietta type 750, although we don’t have much to deduce from, if not the seller’s description. The point is that this car seems to be equipped with a “normal” type engine, characterized by the classic intake manifold ending with a single Solex PAIA… Read More Single inside: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Let’s make it short: we’ve never seen a pick-up like this, we didn’t know it existed, we didn’t even know that BMW had produced this type of vehicle after the war. You never stop learning, right? In fact, the seller says that after World War II BMW produced “industrial” vehicles under the name EMW, but… Read More Working class: 1951 BMW 340 Pritschenwagen
We have already seen a similar car but in red: we do not know if it is another example or this one painted in a different color, the fact is that this shape is not new to us. Last week we talked about the “Sport” category: here is another representative of this category, this time… Read More Blue Barchetta: 1951 Fiat 1100E Sport
Anyone who has fully restored a classic car knows very well that an easy restoration does not exist, unless it is a car that already looks good and only needs general tuning and detailing. This is not, in fact, the case, indeed it takes many hours of work to bring this 356 back to the… Read More Drive the dolphin/2: 1960 Porsche 356b T5 Roadster
Since most of the Giulietta Spider 750s have been recovered (indeed, almost all of those that were not reduced to a pile of rusted sheet metal without an engine), it is very unlikely today to find a good 750 to restore. But unlikely does not mean impossible and in fact here is one that not… Read More Good start: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
