This is the small sister of the 300SL: the 190SL was in fact built in the image and likeness of its older sister but with a price tag that can still be reached by few, but certainly more than those who could afford a 300SL, both coupe and spider. And we must also say that… Read More Little sister: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL
Browsing through the ads on the net, it is not that difficult to come across an Abarth 750 from the 1950s or 1960s, however this is not the case with this particular car. This is indeed the Berlinetta version built by Allemano, characterized by a more slender line and above all by the particular shape… Read More Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano
There are fewer and fewer of these cars, and we don’t mean the model so much as the chance of finding one to restore according to your own standards. But this raises another question: When is a restoration really worth doing? In fact, compared to a few years ago (and we tell you this by… Read More Less and less: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
The bull is not only a symbol of Lamborghini, but also of a factory like Intermeccanica which saw its birth in Turin, the city – in fact – whose symbol is the bull. This Intermeccanica Italia was born red (at least so the seller says) and equipped by the factory with air conditioning and electric… Read More Yellow bull: 1969 Intermeccanica Italia
In the United States, out of 100 recreational vehicles sold, only 10% are motor caravans while the remaining 90% are caravans: probably because, unlike in Europe, there are many pickups to which the aforementioned trailers can be attached. In Europe, as we said, caravans are 70% of the market, a market where Germany is the… Read More Alternative camping: 1953 Ford Vanette
In spite of what is generally believed, these Alfa are solid cars: of course we are referring to everything that does not concern the bodywork. In fact, the generation of engines that pushed us these cars was the most solid we could ask for, especially if we consider that by the standards of the time… Read More With hat: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
In our opinion, there should be a specific branch of classic car collecting dedicated to custom-built cars built on a Fiat basis. But we are biased. This is a very rare – and we do not exaggerate much stating that it could be the only one in existence – “St. Leger” built by Bertone in… Read More Blue on blue / 3: 1950 Fiat 1400 St. Leger Cabriolet by Bertone
We do not know who made this conversion and above all, more importantly, we do not know how it was done. The conversion from closed car to open car in fact requires a deep expertise of the torsional forces that are exerted on the body of a car. Nonetheless, we find this specimen very interesting.… Read More The odd cabrio: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI
Should we talk about the E-Type Roadster in general? No, there is no need as we are talking more about an icon than a classic car in the strict sense. But even the icons have their exceptions: the most appreciated series is certainly the first, that is the one characterized by covered headlights, while the… Read More Headache: 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.
This is a fully-fledged French car but it has a lot of Italian in it: starting with the line, designed by Pininfarina, and ending with the engine derived from Fiat. It must also be said that Facel-Metallon has never made one regret the Italian bodywork: this was a really well built car thanks also to… Read More French aluminium: 1951 Simca 8 Sport
