The Alpina B7 Turbo was the model that established Alpina as a manufacturer capable of challenging the world’s fastest GT cars. Introduced in 1978 and based on the BMW E24 6 Series, it combined the elegant “shark nose” coupé with a turbocharged version of BMW’s M30 inline-six. With up to 330 horsepower and a top… Read More Special one: 1981 ALPINA B7 S Turbo Coupé
And here is one of the many puzzles we enjoy, namely a car of uncertain origin and practically unrecognizable from the photos. Clearly, it is a 1972 911, specifically an E series (also known as Oelkappe, with the oil tank filler cap on the outside, precisely on the right rear fender, later removed due to… Read More Question mark: 1972 Porsche 911 Targa
Indeed, for fans of classic Italian cars this is a gem: there are many (so to speak) in the spider version but very few in the coupé version. In the era of the transformations of standard Fiat cars, in which all the Italian (and not only) coachbuilder craftsmen tried their hand, OSI could not be… Read More Silver pearl: 1960 Fiat 1200S Coupé by OSI
This is a P1800 that has the letter S on its badge. This does not mean, as you might guess, “Sport” but Sverige, or in English: Sweden, seat of the factory where its production had been moved. In fact, initially (officially from 1961 to 1963), the production of this car was entrusted to the Jensen… Read More Bull horns: 1964 Volvo P1800 S
Every now and then we happen to publish classic cars with a price that is not really – let’s say – “popular”, but in order to tell an era the price takes a back seat: after all, admiring it costs nothing. We are sure that many know the Iso Grifo, one of the most beautiful… Read More Queen of the meadow: 1970 Iso Grifo S “Targa”
From Portugal comes this Abarth Scorpione which is a rare car in itself, plus this seems to be the S version, so produced in a few dozen units. We do not know, apart from the difference in power, the details that differentiate the “normal” version (if normal can be defined) from the S version, we… Read More Venomous: 1971 Abarth Scorpione 1300 S
It has a beautiful color and looks very, very well preserved: this is the brief identikit of this rare Audi. The fact that the car looks very well preserved is probably also due to the fact that the car – so the seller says – has passed from father to son and has therefore remained… Read More One family car: 1972 Audi 100S Coupé
Every once in a while a nice barn find pops up as it should, and this time it’s a 911 S that has rested for the last 26 years. The seller in fact says that this car has been in possession of a single family since new, that is in 1975, but it has not… Read More Buried emerald: 1975 Porsche 911 S
If we exclude high-end cars. in the 60s the car models with a double overhead camshaft engine, intended for an “average” clientele, could be counted on the fingers of one hand. In Italy, in addition to the Alfa Romeo (of course) one could opt for another car, which in our opinion was no less fascinating… Read More The rival: 1961 Fiat 1500S OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
If you are looking for a 911S 2.4 there’s plenty of them around: the problem is that, in most cases, their prices are totally unreachable. This car is not cheap as well, but wat far from those price tags. This car in particular looks very nice: starting from the color combo which includes an Oxford… Read More Euro blue: 1973 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa
