This model was created to allow three-pointed star customers to access a spider that resembled the 300SL, without, however, incurring the astronomical cost of the latter. Not that the 190SL was inexpensive by any means: in 1962, it cost twice as much as an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider, which, despite having a smaller engine, was… Read More Raw diamond: 1962 Mercedes-Benz 190SL
If this car had been abandoned for the same number of years further northeast in the USA, there would probably be little to see now. That is, there would be a mass of rusted sheet metal that would probably have remotely resembled the car it once was, fortunately this car has it – although it… Read More Hot wallet: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
It is already a rare British car in itself, as only 74 were built (according to Wikipedia). It is certainly a car that was sold at a very high price as, according to the seller, it cost $12,000 at the time, equivalent to $116,000 today, so it was a high-end car in an era in… Read More Rare RHD: 1965 Bristol 409
We won’t dwell too much on the description of the car as there is little to see from the photos, but in person there would be far too much to analyze. And the analysis should be made by an expert not only of Alfa Romeo, but of the GTA as this is said to be… Read More Nobody moves: 1966 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA
Here we are dealing with a rare car, but at the same time an almost desperate case. It is in fact a Glas 1300 GT, a German one designed by the Frua workshops in Turin at a time when German houses relied on Italian designers who knew what they were doing, and in fact this… Read More The challenge: 1966 Glas 1300 GT
Once these cars were a bit mistreated, considered more like motorized toys than real cars, and for this reason most have been lost. Indeed these are not cars in which you can travel 1000 miles to take your family and their luggage on a beach holiday, yet these are cars that have the power to… Read More Yellow bug: 1968 Meyers Manx Dune Buggy
It’s already been a while since we published a Simca 1200S, and the reason is that lately they only find one at high prices, but this could be an opportunity for someone to get their hands on an affordable specimen. Obviously the reason is easy to understand: the car needs some work starting with the… Read More Stuck silver: 1968 Simca 1200S Coupé by Bertone
We always aim to understand exactly what the name of this particular Abarth is, as some call it “Scorpio” and others don’t. Obviously there is something we are missing. Never mind, the important thing is not the name but the car itself which in this case is in pretty bad shape: it certainly hasn’t seen… Read More Was red: 1959 Abarth 850 Coupè by Allemano
A little over 20 years ago I remember stumbling upon a ’63 Corvette for sale, in good condition, in Silver Blue. The asking price was $25,000. Although attracted by the car, I thought that the price was too high and gave it up: it is clear that if I had chosen the profession of fortune… Read More Split window: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Coupé
This car could be called the perfect sports car: light, easy to handle, cheap to maintain, beautiful. It is difficult to find all these qualities together in another car. Sure, it’s probably not comfortable, but sporty and comfortable together are an oxymoron, so we won’t consider this last aspect. The fact is that when new,… Read More Bare minimum: 1960 Lotus Elite
