This pretty Italia 2000 (Vignale body #30) is said to have been registered new in Madrid and that it has 88,000 kms from new, which is quite plausible on such car. The most curious thing on this car is the pale blue paint which seems old, probably original, but it’s a shade not mentioned in… Read More Strange color: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
The seller says that this car could be one of the scarce Dino 196S with a body made by Medardo Fantuzzi, a coachbuilder who worked for Ferrari until 1966 on his race cars. He says that the car has not tags or numbers and that it comes with many parts. For sure, the only part… Read More The Fantuzzi in the barn: 1959 Dino Ferrari 196S
This 1960 Maserati 3500 GT was born with a Grigio (grey) color and it has seen much better days. It seems a car forgotten for several decades among nature elements and it carries all the pain of such negligence. The seller says that what you see is what you get: so, whatching the photos, you… Read More Grigio, not Frigio: 1960 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring
This ’64 SS has two oddities: the banana yellow paint and the right hand drive. Almost surely, the yellow paint was not a factory option but we have no sources to confirm that the lhd wasn’t an option as well. Only the Archivio Storico Alfa Romeo (Alfa Romeo Archive) can make clarity on this point.… Read More Yellow and RHD: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale
This 1963 Giulia Spider should have the original paint which is completely faded, looking more like orange than the proper red.

The… Read More Usual rust: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
This 1961 Flaminia Touring Convertibile has been modified in the past in a way never seen before. Basically all the front end has been elongated like if someone pull it out with some kind of magnetic force: both the grill surround and headlights protrude of about half foot from what, once, has been the original… Read More Mutation: 1961 Lancia Flaminia Convertibile 2.5 by Touring
Ground up restoration needed for this ’67 GT Veloce: starting from blasting the whole body which features many layers of paint in different shades. Much probably the original color should have been “Verde Pino Scuro” (dark pine green), but someone here bets also on “Faggio” (beech). The car hasn’t anymore the original 15″ steel rims… Read More Many colors: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
This 1964 Flaminia Touring has seen better days. Actually it’s a car in need of a ground-up restoration regardless of the cost because on a car like this the motto is “the top or nothing”.

And here it is another Italia 2000 which pops out of darkness. The seller doesn’t say anything about the car itself: just few words to tell again the well known history of these cars and the relationships among Ruffino, Michelotti and Vignale. One of the most important information about these cars, the Vignale serial number,… Read More Waiting for a savior: 1960 Triumph Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
The Dual-Ghia has been one of the many hybrids tentatives involving italian craftsmanship and american muscle; probably it was the first attempt in doing it. Obviously, because of the cost of realizing a body in Italy, shipping the engine and mechanical parts and then shipping back the car in U.S., these cars were quite unaffordable… Read More Italian dress: 1958 Dual-Ghia Convertible
