If we find a rare classic car, it is very likely that it will be published by us: let alone a car produced in a single specimen. In this particular case, as has often happened, the manufacturer and coachbuilder have different nationalities: the first is Jaguar, a brand that needs no introduction, the second is… Read More One off cat: 1952 Jaguar XK 120 Roadster by Beutler
If there is a difficult undertaking in the world of classic cars, this is finding a car produced after the Second World War up to the 80s in the so-called “communist bloc”, which is beautiful to look at: here is an exception. In fact, this does not surprise us: since the 1920s, the Czech Republic… Read More Eastern bloc roadster: 1959 Skoda 450
One of the best children of the Italian-American collaboration was certainly the Nash Healey, especially in the roadster version. As you can imagine, this is also a rare model as around 150 have been built (although we know how difficult it is to know the exact numbers, especially for smaller manufacturers), and far fewer… Read More Triple black: 1952 Nash-Healey Roadster by Pininfarina
“The Cobra in the Barn: Great Stories of Automotive Archeology” was a book published in 2005 by Tom Cotter, which met with moderate success among classic car enthusiasts: it would certainly have included this 300SL if it had been resurrected 15 years before. Seeing the photos of the ad surprised us: first of all because… Read More Vintage dust: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster
Actually we did not know exactly how to call this car: we know that – as the seller says – under the skin is the frame and engine of a Henry J. but we don’t know much else. Technically speaking, we do not know the year of manufacture of the chassis, nor the year in… Read More Time traveler: 1950 Kaiser Frazer Henry J. “Custom”
Take a 356 Speedster, add a slightly higher windshield, more comfortable seats and roll-up windows and you will get a Roadster. Among other things, the same formula is valid for two series of 356, the T2 and the T5: clearly in the T2 series the similarity is evident given that we are talking about the… Read More Baby blue: 1959 Porsche 356 Roadster by Drauz
The seller of this very rare car which, including us, few know, has been rather stingy in the description; consequently we will try to fill these gaps. The point is that it is not only this model that is rare (as it is produced in only 45 units), but the entire production of this mysterious… Read More 1 of 45: 1947 HRG Aerodynamic
Becoming a surgeon is not at all simple, however, today as well as yesterday, it can bring many satisfactions, both professional and economic. In this particular case, the financial satisfactions have turned, for the first owner of this car (a surgeon, of course), into a Mercedes 300 SL Roadster which, by the way, was not… Read More Surgeon’s car: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster
This car (chassis # DD7-6) is one of the fantastic Devin D produced in the 50s using Porsche mechanics and, apart from the paintwork, it doesn’t look bad at all. The truth is that little of the pint has remained (it seems that the original color was Porsche silver 6206) as someone has sanded the… Read More Thin paint: 1959 Devin “D” Porsche
On the classic car forums I have attended in the past, I remember that the phrase “they are still out there” often came up. This car is proof that that sentence was correct. A Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, hidden in a barn and in these conditions, in 2020 by now, is an extremely rare event, and… Read More Blue on blue: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster
