Classic cars too could crash: this half-Dino 208 GT4 had such destiny but is seems pretty restorable. Indeed the seller has removed all the broken parts leaving the car ready to be fixed: actually the windscreen too is cracked and needs to be replaced but the car looks quite straight. Of course no ealier than… Read More Half is enough: 1976 Dino 208 GT4
Of course when most people are asked to imagine the color of an Alfa Romeo or a Ferrari, red is the first color which comes to mind. Fact is that red was barely used on road cars, both Alfa and Ferrari, mostly because it was considered (at least in Italy) a “Crude” shade for a… Read More Green becomes red: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
That’s not the first time we publish a car like this one: we’ve published another one few months ago but this later car is even a more refined model. What has astonished us is seeing the front seats that basically are the scaled version of the ones installed into the Lancia Flaminia Coupé/cabriolet by Touring:… Read More Precious seats: 1963 Moretti 750 Coupé
This two-tone Giulietta Spider is still a Type 750 even if it looks like having a long wheel base. However, this is quite the kind of project we like: basically it’s a complete car which probably has seen the open road for the last time about fourty years ago: the last license sticker on the plate… Read More Open air cams: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Actually it’s the first time we see the Le Mans Blue shade on a GTV 2000. Indeed these 2000 were often painted in sober colors: black, silver, metallic gold and white were the preferred colors for this coupé, but we’re talking mostly about the Euro market: in the U.S.A. people were more “aggressive” in their… Read More Le Mans Blue: 1974 Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV
This Alfa Romeo (Type 102) belongs to a series which had not much success: designed to fill the need of the italian upper class families, finally they sold these cars mostly to the government, for representative purposes. The reason why it wasn’t a best seller is clear to everyone: even then, the bulky side of this… Read More Project 102: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina
O.T.S. is the original name given by the factory to these cars to indicate an Open Two Seater car. This XK120 has been carried out from somewhere (an enclosed space we suppose) where it was sleeping since many years. Watching those strange wheels with those giant tires we suppose that the last time that this… Read More Balloon shoes: 1954 Jaguar XK120 O.T.S.
Of course rust often wins, but it has no chance to finish its work on a Sprint Speciale. This Giulia has seen for sure better days: what we have here is a car neglected and cannibalized for decades before someone has spotted her somewere and so now she’s waiting for someone brave who’s willing to… Read More Rust can’t win: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
This is probably the first time you see a car like this one for sale, and probably years will pass before you will see another one on the market. This is also the first time for us: we don’t like to post car adverts which don’t report an asking price, but this car is very rare so… Read More No excuses: 1955 Autobleu 4CV Coupé by Ghia
Here it is another Giulia Spider Veloce (AR 390539) which, as the seller says, has rust. But we suppose that no reader is particularly scared from rust: otherwise they would follow a blog called “Modern Virus”. However, when you find a car like this the first concern is not rust: unless the car has been… Read More Tired but clean: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
