The worst choice you can make for a classic car is to try to restore it in your garage: we have seen so many undergo this choice, and in very few cases it has gone well. This rare B24 Spider (chassis # B24S 1154) is not one of those successful cases: as almost always happens,… Read More Rotten but not forgotten: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider
A lowered stance gives that extra touch to any car, but the look of some cars benefits more from this change. Clearly we are talking about the set-up of the Giulia Spider that you see published here: it is not only a Giulia but it is also a Veloce, that is one of the few… Read More Lowered Bialbero: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
In 2012, almost ten years ago now (at most four or five seem to have passed), I strongly advised a friend of mine to buy a 1957 Giulietta Spider Veloce, one of the 35 produced that year, which at the time was for sal and required a total restoration, but it was complete and also… Read More Scarce supply: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
In recent years, Alfa Romeo collecting has increasingly turned towards “limited editions” such as, in the case of the 750 and 101 series, the Spider Veloce. But you know what? It depends on what you do with it. I mean that in the regular use of these cars, or at cruising speeds to enjoy a… Read More Red outside: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
“Osso di Seppia” (cuttlefish bone) is the nickname given in Italy to the heir of the Giulietta Spider, shown to the public for the first time in 1966, then called “Duetto”. In reality, the name “Duetto” was later removed due to the civil lawsuit filed against Alfa Romeo by an Italian food company that produced… Read More Osso Di Seppia: 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1300
We were amazed to see a Duetto in silver: it was a factory color code (AR728), however it is rare to find one that was born in this color. And in fact, this specimen, according to the seller, was born in white. The seller also says the car has been repainted by the previous owner… Read More Silver streak: 1969 Alfa Romeo Duetto
Since most of the Giulietta Spider 750s have been recovered (indeed, almost all of those that were not reduced to a pile of rusted sheet metal without an engine), it is very unlikely today to find a good 750 to restore. But unlikely does not mean impossible and in fact here is one that not… Read More Good start: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
There was a big difference between the convertibles produced immediately after World War II in Europe vs the USA, a difference summarized very well by the Siata Amica. The difference was obviously clear from the dimensions: if we take the Ford Custom Convertible of the same year for example, we have a length of 196.6… Read More Small is good: 1950 Siata Amica by Bertone
There is certainly not a long description of this car by its current owner, probably a man of few words. Too bad because this little spider is a fairly rare car, in fact it is a model already published by us on other occasions but often the car was in better condition than this: it… Read More No brakes: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
The “big spiders” produced entirely in Milan took longer than the Giulietta to enter the hearts of the fans of the brand, but now their value has far exceeded their smaller sisters. Obviously what has been said is valid under the same conditions: the 2000 version (or type 102) of the Touring-bodied spiders is, from… Read More Empty heart: 1960 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring
