Business ready: 1960 Peugeot D4

Around 76,000 examples of this van were produced between 1950 and 1965, yet very few are seen around today. The main reason is that these vehicles were intended for “business” users or for police, firefighters and hospitals and consequently they were exploited to exhaustion, so at the end of their professional life there was nothing… Read More Business ready: 1960 Peugeot D4

Very SWB: 1965 Porsche 911

For lovers of the Porsche brand, there is no 911 more “pure” than the first series, also known as the “zero series”. Of course, the earlier the better. This specimen belongs to the aforementioned series, and is also one of the first built as the first 200 approximately were built starting from August 1964 and… Read More Very SWB: 1965 Porsche 911

One year only: 1962 Triumph TR3 B

A large number of TR3s were produced and while most of them have been lost over the decades, there are still many for sale. But we are talking about TR3 and TR3 A, not a car like this. Apparently it is identical to the first mentioned but, as we know, the devil is in the… Read More One year only: 1962 Triumph TR3 B

Farm worker: 1978 Alfa Romeo F12 Diesel

This specimen belongs to the latest generation of the F12 series, whose production would end in 1983. That it is a late model can be seen from the greater presence of plastic compared to the previous series, especially in the passenger compartment whose design begins to “smell” of the 80s. In addition to this, it… Read More Farm worker: 1978 Alfa Romeo F12 Diesel

Bare metal: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera L

It is an Italian with an American heart, and perhaps this is why it was very successful in the USA, much more than other supercars produced in the same period. After all, having an engine full of torque, power and cheap to run like the Ford 351 was not a bad advantage, especially when compared… Read More Bare metal: 1972 De Tomaso Pantera L

Hole in the pocket: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL

Yes, there are holes almost everywhere on the bodywork, evidently this car was parked outdoors or under a shed, probably also with holes in it. However, under that layer of rust that you see there is still a 190 SL which, according to the seller, has matching numbers and also has a hard top, an… Read More Hole in the pocket: 1960 Mercedes 190 SL

Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce

No, it is not our intention to publish all existing Veloces, however, given the car’s rarity, we feel compelled to do so every time we find one for sale. It is an example that we could define as a “barn find”, in the typical conditions of a 60-year-old Alfa Romeo that has not only been… Read More Crusty red: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce

Reworked: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback

On this Mustang, born in Springtime Yellow and then repainted in red, there is a lot of work to do, however it is a GT390 Fastback and this is not a negligible detail. As already mentioned, the work to be done to bring it back to factory conditions is not even negligible, and this work… Read More Reworked: 1967 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback

Normale from the past: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

Here is a true “Barn find”: a car that was parked indoors many, many years ago, not rotten, that was not cannibalized or disassembled and scattered in buckets. And, most of all, belonged to the same guy during the last six decades. This event is even more remarkable because we are talking about an Alfa… Read More Normale from the past: 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

Body only: 1962 Apal 1200

Among the countless applications of the chassis of the Volkswagen Typ 1 (aka Beetle) there was also this: the Apal 1200, with the body strictly made of fiberglass. Apal was a Belgian company, indeed the name is the acronym of “Application Polyester Armé de Liège” (Reinforced Polyester Application of Liege), and only 150 of these… Read More Body only: 1962 Apal 1200
