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
In relation to nuclear explosions and other large bombs, ground zero (also called surface zero) is the point on the Earth’s surface closest to a detonation: this definition is plausibly associated with this Spider Veloce 750 of which very little remains. Well, at least the bodywork is visible in all its nakedness and, let’s face… Read More Ground zero: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
We don’t know when this car was built, we don’t know by whom it was built: absolutely not bad as a premise. Unfortunately the seller, or at least the description of the car that he reported in the ad, is not very helpful in identifying the origin of this Fiat 600 with this body so… Read More Mysterious and open: 1956 Fiat 600
If you intend to buy a car to be restored, buy one that has at least the upper parts of the bodywork in good condition: it is advice given to you by someone who has paid (in terms of time, money and headache) the consequences of a different choice.

The problem with cars like the Giulietta Spider is that, when they are universally recognized as an “Icon”, their prices break off the ground and start flying high.

The history of Intermeccanica is very varied: from its birth in Italy, to the passage to the American continent there would be a lot to say, but this is not the topic of the article. Of course we can say that it produced beautiful cars and if it did not have the success it deserved… Read More Sunburnt/2: 1968 Intermeccanica Italia Spider
There is rarely a car in these conditions, for a very specific reason. The reason is the originality of the car: this Fiat 1200 Spider, one of the best designed spiders and a Fiat icon from the 50s, second only to the 500, has a very correct external appearance, including the black Roma plate (which,… Read More Japanese heart: 1958 Fiat 1200 TV Spider
And here comes another special car based on the Fiat 600, this time with an open body made by Zagato. In fact we have seen cars similar to this one, but they had the bodywork built by Allemano and they are quite well known as several dozen have been produced: this car instead seems to… Read More Who’s who: 1958 Abarth 750 Spyder by Zagato
March 9 update Following the request of Roberto, the owner and seller of this beautiful Veloce, we add more photos of the car and we also report the text in Italian: “Alfa Romeo GIULIA SPIDER VELOCE (1600), costruita Aprile 1965, esemplare # 707 di 1091 unità prodotte nel 1964/65, colore biancospino 013/selleria fintapelle elastica nera… Read More Seller submission: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
It is italian, It has a soft top, it was built in the early 60s, it has a twin overhead cam engine, but it is not a Giulietta Spider. Actually it is what should have been a competitor of the famous spider built by Alfa Romeo, it had all the credentials to do it but… Read More Stored 50 years: 1960 Fiat 1500S Spider
