We use the words spoken by Mugatu, the crazy designer, character from the film Zoolander, to describe a phenomenon that affects not only the world of classic cars, but the world of collecting in general. Long story short: one day owning a certain object, be it a car, a painting, a watch, a porcelain sign,… Read More So hot right now: 1968 Ford Bronco
We haven’t published many of these cars, but when we do we always have doubts as this car has been (and still is) always called differently, using more or less the same words. René Bonnet Djet, Matra Bonnet Djet, Matra Sports Djet, Matra Sports Jet are the variants with which this model is called: we,… Read More Many names: 1964 Matra Djet 5
It’s an Alfa Romeo, it’s rare, it’s convertible, it’s a barn find: each of these four elements, taken alone, is worthy of consideration, let alone if taken all together. As for the history of this car, we literally report the seller’s description which is detailed and clarifying: “The first recorded owner of this Pinin Farina… Read More Three nations army: 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900C Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Ladies and gentlemen, they are still out there, perhaps not as many as ten or twenty years ago, but good hunters are able to discover them. These cars are the last of their kind probably bought forty or fifty years ago by owners born at the turn of the 30s and 40s who followed an… Read More Blind horses: 1964 Ferrari 250 GTE
Strange to say but after ten years of mining everything that was even barely restorable, something still pops up and attracts a lot of the attention of the miners. This is the turn of a Giulietta SS – one of the blue chips in the classic car market – on which the 50% of the… Read More Grey shark: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale
In relation to nuclear explosions and other large bombs, ground zero (also called surface zero) is the point on the Earth’s surface closest to a detonation: this definition is plausibly associated with this Spider Veloce 750 of which very little remains. Well, at least the bodywork is visible in all its nakedness and, let’s face… Read More Ground zero: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Of all the production relating to the 105 Alfa Romeo series, there are two highly sought after models: the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce and the 1750 GT Veloce first series, exactly like the one in bad condition you see here. The seller says that this model – which has a beautiful combination of Dutch Blue… Read More First series: 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
If you intend to buy a car to be restored, buy one that has at least the upper parts of the bodywork in good condition: it is advice given to you by someone who has paid (in terms of time, money and headache) the consequences of a different choice. Indeed, it is one thing to… Read More Early bird: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
In spite of the image it has, this can be considered to all intents and purposes a muscle car. Indeed, if a Ford Mustang of the same period is considered a muscle car icon, let alone how the Tiger can be considered, it has the same eight-cylinder engine (but in this case 260 cubic inches),… Read More Green feline: 1965 Subeam Tiger
Over the past few decades, a car built on a versatile platform was subject to many variations, limited only by the imagination of the designers. Even the Fiat 500, in its “D” version, had its own interpretations and among these was that of the NSU through the vision of the Weinsberg workshops: two versions were… Read More The other side: 1962 NSU/Fiat 500 Coupé by Weinsberg
