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 car wasn’t indeed a best seller: two more seats were a great thing for who had… Read More High roof: 1964 Lancia Flaminia GTL 2800 3C Coupé by Touring
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
Just when you believe you will not see another 600 by Viotti for sale for a long time to come, here is another one which pops up to a few hundred kilometers away. This time though, the car is in much worse conditions than the car, almost perfect, published some days ago: this one is… Read More Blinded and striped: 1957 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
The Glas 1700 GT was probably the first road car equipped with a belt driven SOH camshaft; actually it was a little but sophisticated car which was sold for a couple of year before adopting the BMW badge. Few were made a few remain today especially in the U.S. also because it’s not easy at… Read More Belt driven/2: 1967 Glas 1700 GT
The first series of the Espada, in our opinion, is the best: as many first series it has the most lovable details like the odd dashboard and the knock-off wheels. This is black and not running. The car is said to be delivered to the first owner in California when new, and here in California… Read More Black bull: 1969 Lamborghini Espada
Here it is another Simca from the golden period of these cars: it’s a rare Simca 9 Coupé which has been partially restored. The job has been done on the body only even though the seller says that it has to be put together again: actually the car looks complete but all the interior parts,… Read More Two tone puzzle: 1954 Simca 9 by Facel
This car is a rare bird indeed as very few were produced (105 units) and many were destroyed during the oil crisis of the early seventies: a 2.6 liter engine was actually a big displacement for the european market in those years. So it’s very rare to find one in restorable conditions and even more… Read More Rare bird: 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by Zagato
