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
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. Indeed, it is one thing to… Read More Early bird: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
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. As a result, it happens that, if ten years ago you could have brought home a beautiful Giulietta Spider Veloce with, say, $ 30,000, today that amount… Read More Sleeping icon: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
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
