The seller of this beautiful Giulietta Spider (chassis #135) says that it’s a pre-series car as it’s one of the first made and many details differ from the “standard” production: we believe that’s it’s not exactly the truth. Indeed the real pre-series cars (maybe the first 50) had some very different features: at least the… Read More Supposed pre-series: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Too good to be true, that’s the first thing you think at when you see this ad. This car was featured in early 2013 on eBay: the last time we checked it the bids reached $55K the day before the auction end, so we don’t know how and if this car has been sold back… Read More What’s the truth? 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
This funny Fiat 850 Spider is said to be a barn find, actually it seems everything but a barn find. Indeed these cars, quite rare in the US and especially the US model like this one, are deeply prone to rust even if they have been well cared during their life: the poor quality of… Read More Yellow fun: 1969 Fiat 850 Spider
We could call these last two days the “Veloce days”: after the GT Veloce (sold) of friday, this is the time of a Spider. This 750 Spider Veloce has been converted in a racer during the 1978, and probably is now for sale as the owner has quit his racing career. The seller says nothing… Read More Race mood: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce
Well, our opinion is that this Giulietta SWB, more than a bargain, is too good to be true. However, sending an email doesn’t cost anything but a couple of minutes of your day. Indeed here we have a Giulietta in need of a total restoration: body, engine, interiors, trims, chrome, everything must be disassembled, cleaned,… Read More Autumn bargain: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
We can’t find anything so wrong with this car, at least from what we can see from the photos, but the point is: who goes east to inspect the car? It’s a 1959 Giulia Spider which, as it can be seen, has wrong wheels but that’s not a problem: the car looks like a Giulia (1600 cc.) and… Read More Long way east: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
This Giulietta Spider is said to be a 1959 but, as the chassis number is 1495*472, we suspect that is a very early swb, probably a ’56. The seller says that this is a former racer which joined many events like Watkins Glen, Belmont, Lime Rock and many others: he says that the car got a… Read More Former racer granny: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Nowadays it often happens that “spider” means “exclusive” and “expensive” but not many years ago, you didn’t need to be rich to drive with the wind in your hair. The 850 Spider was one of those cars made not to affirm a social status, but just to have fun without spending a lot of money.… Read More Red but understated: 1965 Fiat 850 Spider by Vignale
Believe it or not, nowadays you can still see barn finds like this one which, indeed, is a rare B24S which has been stored many years. This car (chassis B24S-1612) needs not only cosmetics but to be disassembled in pieces and then fully restored. The seller says that there is rust under the sills (as usual)… Read More Restoration doesn’t matter: 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24 Convertibile
That’s the very first time that we see a job like this made on a Lancia Fulvia Coupé. Generally seeing a work like this on italian cars is quite odd, with the exception of some very particular cars like the Maserati Ghibli 115 or the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona. But in those cases who made… Read More A cooler summer: 1972 Lancia Fulvia 1300s “Spider”
