Take a 1960 American coupe, make it 1:2 scale and you get a BMW 700 Coupé like this one. Statistics say that just over 9,000 examples of this model were built by the Bavarian factory, but obviously there were much fewer in the USA: after all, the American who bought this car did it to… Read More Little fins: 1960 BMW 700 Sport Coupé
All Alfa Romeos built in the period just before or just after the Second World War are worthy of particular interest, but this one is a little more. The reason is simple: the seller claims that this car has only driven 6,000 kilometers (just under 4,000 miles) from new, which would be extraordinary. Indeed, at… Read More Brand new: 1952 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Berlina
It is not the first time that this seller has offered Alfa Romeo of the immediate pre or post war period, and it amazes us how he manages to find them. But, curiosity aside, we are always pleased to see these cars emerge from a decades-long oblivion, even if in a miserable state like this… Read More Endoskeleton: 1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500S
It’s great to experience the sensation of seeing a classic car for the first time, and we don’t mean seeing it in real life but absolutely. In this case it is a Barchetta built using components taken from different cars: chassis from a fiat 500c and 900cc v4 engine taken from a Lancia Ardea, certainly… Read More Sometimes they’re blue: 1950 Fiat 500C Sport by Zabora
Body made of aluminum, red, original black plate and in apparently perfect condition: need to ask for more? There are not many of these cars belonging to the first series (type 818.132) of the berlinetta built by Zagato, at the end of its golden years, on the winning basis of the Lancia Fulvia Coupé. This… Read More Red Peraluman: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Sport by Zagato
This is a fully-fledged French car but it has a lot of Italian in it: starting with the line, designed by Pininfarina, and ending with the engine derived from Fiat. It must also be said that Facel-Metallon has never made one regret the Italian bodywork: this was a really well built car thanks also to… Read More French aluminium: 1951 Simca 8 Sport
We have already seen an Appia in its convertible version, so there is nothing wrong with seeing one converted by Zagato. It is in fact a GTE, characterized by the longer wheelbase of its “Sport” saddles and by a general greater resemblance to its big sister, the Flaminia built by Zagato which in common has… Read More Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
This car is as small as the charisma it emanates is big: you don’t need to be a supercar to turn heads. The merit is a very accurate design and studied in every detail: customers who, more than 50 years ago, bought cars like these wanted to feel driving a high-level car while spending acceptable… Read More Big charisma: 1969 Fiat 850 Sport Racer Berlinetta by Bertone
This rare Appia Sport is said to be available to the public for the first time after 40 years during which it was owned by only one person. This person is (or was, we did not understand) a producer known in the studio environment, Arthur Vitarelli, it seems that among his productions there were titles… Read More Producer’s car: 1963 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
One of the good things of sifting through thousands of classifieds ads, going around shows and attending classic car forums is to keep track of many cars over the years, especially the rarest and most unique ones. And so we found an old acquaintance – at least we suppose it is – this magnificent 6C… Read More Blue blood: 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Sport Cabriolet by Pininfarina
