How many of the se have been scrapped during the past 40 years? Many is the answer and, indeed, now it’s not a common car as it should expected to be. On the other side, many of those have been restored and few still remain in restorable conditions like this one: of course the work… Read More Restoration ready: 1960 Fiat 600 Multipla
This super rare 1900C is not a “common” coupé built by Touring but one of the very few cars built by Pininfarina with a special body. Unfortunately the seller says very few about the car but the car had a front crash in the past and that the nose has been repaired by one of the… Read More Face off: 1955 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint by Pininfarina
The interim series includes the cars with some features coming from the first series like the dashboard, interiors and engine, other things come from the later series like the taillights and the front end. This is said to be a matching numbers car owned by an Alfa collector who had other Veloces in the past: he… Read More Interim series: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
These VW (generally all the aircooled VW) usually split opinions in two parties: who likes them and who hates them. We basically love all classic cars so also this one deserves some words. These “Kübelwagen”, a.k.a. “Thing” for the U.S. market, were built, of course, on the Beetle chassis and engine but they were even more… Read More Summer ready: 1976 Volkswagen Typ 181 “Kübelwagen”

For sure… Read More Since ’76: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
This Signal Yellow 911 Targa (chassis #9112111659) belongs to the “E”series batch of cars produced between 1971 and 1972 also known as “external oil filter” or “oelkappe” because they had the oil filler on the right side soon after the door. The problem with this solution was that a lot of incidents happened: many filled… Read More Dry orange: 1972 Porsche 911 T/E 2.4 Targa
More or less just 300 GTL were built from 1963 to 1965; only three cars were equipped with the 2.5 litre engine, all the other specimens had the more powerful 2.8 litre engine equipped with three Weber carburetors.

The 2600 Sprint has always been the Cinderella among the Alfa Romeo production of the sixties: ok it is a coupé but it never had the “sporty” attitude of the GT stepnose and so it has been underrated so far. So far indeed: up to a couple of years ago you could find nice specimens… Read More Start right: 1963 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
This gift from the Mesa is a Flavia Convertibile built by Vignale in 1962, a quite rare car to find in these conditions even in Italy, never mind in the U.S. However, here it is: the seller says that this car hasn’t been driven since 1997 (that’s scary to realize that 20 years are already… Read More Desert italian: 1962 Lancia Flavia Convertibile by Vignale
We often see these Jensen CV-8 for sale but, basically every time, they are RHD cars and that makes them less attractive for the countries out of the Commonwealth. This one is one of the two LHD cars produced in 1965. This car is said to be found in a dry warehouse where it sat for… Read More V8 power: 1965 Jensen C-V8 III
