Older and older: this is the market trend on the Porsche 356 which, in the models prior to ’55, have experienced a real boom in recent years. Surely the motivation is linked purely to aesthetics: these are slow cars, they do not have a great sound and are and by many considered simply as an… Read More Missing windshield: 1953 Porsche 356 Cabriolet
That’s right: this rare Alfa Romeo F12 was born with ambulance equipment and, probably, used for many years before being abandoned. Until 5-6 years ago these rare means were little considered by collectors and, as a result, many were abandoned outdoors where they ended up rotting (rust had probably begun long before) as in the… Read More Rescuer to be rescued: 1969 Alfa Romeo F12 Ambulance
Finally another Simca 1200 S designed by Bertone. Finally because we had not seen it on the market for some time, and we are sorry of that because we have always liked this car. Elegant, small and snappy are the main connotations of this small coupe that at the time had a moderate commercial success,… Read More Be green/2: 1967 Simca 1200 S Coupé by Bertone
It is the second time we see a Fiat Pininfarina like this on sale and, definitely, we are amazed because we thought that after the one published here, we would not have seen another one on sale for many years to come. But there is nothing more beautiful than being amazed (in a positive sense)… Read More Swedish plate: 1958 Fiat 1200 Coupé by Pininfarina
And here, every now and then, another one of these small, elegant coupés comes out, built on a humble but solid base and dressed by a top-tier coachbuilder. The carmaker in question is (or rather, it was) Alfredo Vignale whose career was very eclectic: he built cars for rich industrialists and movie stars but he… Read More Little blue special: 1955 Fiat 600 Rendez Vous by Vignale
This is a single car but it has two engines, one inside the engine compartment, the other is incomplete and is located in another State. The seller says that the engine currently installed was rebuilt with new rod bearings, pistons and cylinders checked with new piston rings, a valve job, appropriate shims, new timing chain,… Read More One car, two engines: 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
Every time we see a Fiat 1100 or 1200 TV Spider for sale in the US, we wonder what the tortuous path that led it to the other side of the pond may have been. In this case, the owner’s first name seems Italian so it is also probable that this car came to California… Read More Totally open: 1957 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
Let’s not fool ourselves, this car is a mess, but it still has all the most important parts: engine, gearbox, dashboard and seats. The seats are particularly important because this splendid design was only available in 1969 (if we exclude the GTAs) and, although very faithful reproductions are made in Italy, the original ones are… Read More No warranty: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce
We are all used to thinking of Alfa Romeo as an elegant or sporty vehicle, and in any case to a vehicle that runs on asphalt, but this has not always been the case. In addition to the vans, in fact, the Alfa also built this off-road vehicle commissioned by the Italian police: we must… Read More The country one: 1953 Alfa Romeo AR51 “Matta”
A real “green start” this week, yesterday with a perfectly restored car, today with one to be restored completely (and even incomplete). Ladies and gentlemen here is a true classic Alfa Romeo, probably the “classic” Alfa after the Giulietta Spider, both of these two cars are in fact true classic motoring icons. As we said,… Read More Green again: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
