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.

Many have been produced and many have survived, especially if we compare them to other sports cars of the same era, yet the quantity of examples still existing has not inflated their charm: the value of this model… Read More Pasadena recluse: 1965 Jaguar E-Type O.T.S.

There is a lot of work to be done here: not so much for the condition of both cars – yes, there are two – but, precisely because both should be fixed. One has the title and the other does not: it will certainly be the new owner who will decide what to do with… Read More Half papers: 2 x 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750
Mistral is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows from southern France into the Gulf of Lion in the northern Mediterranean. And like the wind of the same name, this Maserati too can leave the observer rather “frozen”. There is in fact a lot to do with this car, indeed, there is not a single… Read More Cold wind: 1968 Maserati Mistral 4.0 by Frua
Here is a small convertible that will certainly not make you feel the thrill of speed but it will still make anyone’s head turn when you drive it on the street. We have published others in the past: some in very good condition, some so-so, others still in desperate condition, however they are small cars,… Read More Spotted cabriolet: 1951 Siata Amica
