We know that such poetic verse could be a bit too stretched to be used for a car but, what we have realized in many years is that, even the “humblest” classic car could astonish you if it’s properly set up and if your mind is not biased by concepts like “value”. This Fiat 128 Sport Coupé… Read More The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind: 1975 Fiat 128 Sport Coupé
If we should give a physical representation of the “Minimal art” concept, it would be this car. It’s an Ashley Sport 750 with a fiberglass body which clearly winks at period italian race barchetta’s. This car is the quintessence of the word “simple”: one engine, one chassis, two seats and four wheels: it’s even hard… Read More Minimal art: 1957 Ashley 750 Sport MKI
In the late fifities NSU asked to Bertone coachworks to design a little sporty coupé based on the Prinz chassis.

This car looks like a beautifully… Read More Scaglione’s touch: 1959 NSU Prinz Sport
Update, november 8 One day has been enough time to sell this car. No surprise at all at this asking price. November 7 This Fulvia Zagato needs a partial assembling but the overall look is very good.

The seller doesn’t specify the year of this stunning Appia Zagato but, because it says that this car is a “passo corto” (s.w.b.), we can deduce that this car is at least from 1961, the first production year of this model. The red – perfect – paint should be the “Rosso Arcoveggio” shade which perfectly… Read More Amadori equipped: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport “Passo corto” by Zagato
This car has been built in consequence of the late ’60’s beat wave, when many builders tried to replicate the style and lines of the pre-war cars: just think at the Siata Spring and at the Gamine built by Vignale.

On the Simca 8, the engine… Read More Farina outside: 1950 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet
