This MT4 (chassis # 1148) has been locked in a garage for 46 years, more than half of its life, which began in 1954. Only 78 MT4s have been built and most of them are unknown as these cars were bought to be driven on the track or in road races, so it’s easy to… Read More Red gem: 1954 OSCA MT4
It is not easy to find a classic car that is sold new and has remained in the same city, or at least around it. The above is the brief history of this Fiat 600 bodied by Viotti in the “Granluce” version: not rare and not even as beautiful as its sister Coupé, but certainly… Read More Same place, different car: 1962 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti
We do not know if this specimen is one of the last with a short wheelbase or one of the first with a long wheelbase, the only thing we know is that it needs a lot of work. Although, to be honest, the most important work to do on this specimen is to understand which… Read More Red puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
There are no errors in the title of the article: this is a 1955 car even though it clearly looks like a car conceived in the 1930s. And there is a reason for this apparent inconsistency.

Sold new and aged in the same place, this could be the short story of this Giulietta Sprint.

What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course. Especially if the climate is that of Virginia, one of the wettest states in the United States, a climate that puts all classic cars to the test. Of course,… Read More Under the tarp: 1957 Porsche 356A Speedster
By now, for those who want it, there are no longer many possibilities to get your hands on a Porsche 356 at a “human” price. When I sold my 356 T5 Cabriolet for $ 47,000 more than ten years ago, it took me six months and even had to accept a car as a partial… Read More Last call: 1963 Porsche 356B T6 Cabriolet
If the restorers were superheroes, they would all have one common enemy: rust. And rust is unfortunately an enemy to be feared especially on BMW’s E9 series. In the particular case of this car, the damage caused by corrosion is evident at first glance, but on these cars the horror hides inside the front fenders… Read More Baikal rust: 1971 BMW 2800 CS
Also in this case – unfortunately – we are faced with a project that ended only in the mind of those who thought it up. In reality we only see a disassembled car. That the car is disassembled is not a problem in itself, the problem arises when a project is abandoned for years and… Read More Tenant of the barn: 1957 BMW Isetta 300
Even in the USA, utility cars have been produced in the European way, although they have not been very successful. And it’s not hard to guess why.
