It’s not that we forgot to put the year of the car in the title, the fact is that the seller didn’t write it. In fact, this Elite, perhaps the most beautiful Lotus ever produced, is a “Type 14”, produced from 1957 to 1963: we are not Lotus experts so we are unable to deduce,… Read More Needs cosmetics: Lotus Elite Type 14
It is nice to find rare, special or unique history cars for sale. The only problem (for 99% of enthusiasts), is that cars with these characteristics almost always have unattainable prices. Yet there are also many cars, secularly in the so-called “youngtimer” segment, which are very interesting and have affordable prices provided – be very… Read More Big bumpers: 1983 BMW 633 CSI
Do you like unrestored classic cars? Do you like them Italian? Do you like them rare? This car will satisfy all three requests. Actually this car is not uncommon: in fact it is extremely uncommon as it’s a Siata 300BC. We do not know how many specimens were built (nobody knows for sure, actually), but… Read More Old is gold: 1955 Siata 300 BC
“The Cobra in the Barn: Great Stories of Automotive Archeology” was a book published in 2005 by Tom Cotter, which met with moderate success among classic car enthusiasts: it would certainly have included this 300SL if it had been resurrected 15 years before. Seeing the photos of the ad surprised us: first of all because… Read More Vintage dust: 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster
When, in the world of classic cars, it is said “it is original only once”, it is not just the fact that it left the factory and is no longer modified. That saying also means that, as people get to grips with it, some details – related to the finishing of one part or the… Read More HIR 993: 1962 Maserati 3500 GTi by Touring
As time passes we expect less and less to find cars like the Giulia 1600 Super in conditions similar to the original ones, so we like to be surprised as in this case. The seller says that the car made a long journey from the state of NY to Texas where he previously resided, it… Read More Santa Fe Trail/2: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super
We like off-road vehicles (after all, it is difficult to find a classic two, three or four-wheel vehicle that does not arouse our interest) but clearly it is more difficult to find a classic off-road vehicle for sale because up to 40 years ago very few were produced. In the USA there was Jeep and… Read More Not abused: 1973 Ford Bronco
This car, never restored from the moment it left the dealer, makes us understand some things that are often ignored. Do you know when, in some advertisements, classic cars of 50 or 60 years old are presented in fantastic conditions that are said to be “preserved”, “never restored” and so on? Well, most of the… Read More One family car: 1951 Simca 8 Sport Cabriolet
Becoming a surgeon is not at all simple, however, today as well as yesterday, it can bring many satisfactions, both professional and economic. In this particular case, the financial satisfactions have turned, for the first owner of this car (a surgeon, of course), into a Mercedes 300 SL Roadster which, by the way, was not… Read More Surgeon’s car: 1961 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster
1968 was a year of great changes in society, but muscle cars nuts also associate it with the birth of the Corvette C3, whose lines have become iconic. Indeed, with small modifications through time, this bodywork has been basically produced for twenty years, and that is a remarkable achievement for a sports car: very few… Read More One owner survivor: 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
