Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano

Browsing through the ads on the net, it is not that difficult to come across an Abarth 750 from the 1950s or 1960s, however this is not the case with this particular car. This is indeed the Berlinetta version built by Allemano, characterized by a more slender line and above all by the particular shape… Read More Rare bird: 1960 Abarth 750 Berlinetta by Allemano

Less and less: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

There are fewer and fewer of these cars, and we don’t mean the model so much as the chance of finding one to restore according to your own standards. But this raises another question: When is a restoration really worth doing? In fact, compared to a few years ago (and we tell you this by… Read More Less and less: 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

Yellow bull: 1969 Intermeccanica Italia

The bull is not only a symbol of Lamborghini, but also of a factory like Intermeccanica which saw its birth in Turin, the city – in fact – whose symbol is the bull. This Intermeccanica Italia was born red (at least so the seller says) and equipped by the factory with air conditioning and electric… Read More Yellow bull: 1969 Intermeccanica Italia

Blue on blue / 3: 1950 Fiat 1400 St. Leger Cabriolet by Bertone

In our opinion, there should be a specific branch of classic car collecting dedicated to custom-built cars built on a Fiat basis. But we are biased. This is a very rare – and we do not exaggerate much stating that it could be the only one in existence – “St. Leger” built by Bertone in… Read More Blue on blue / 3: 1950 Fiat 1400 St. Leger Cabriolet by Bertone

The odd cabrio: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI

We do not know who made this conversion and above all, more importantly, we do not know how it was done. The conversion from closed car to open car in fact requires a deep expertise of the torsional forces that are exerted on the body of a car. Nonetheless, we find this specimen very interesting.… Read More The odd cabrio: 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI

Headache: 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.

Should we talk about the E-Type Roadster in general? No, there is no need as we are talking more about an icon than a classic car in the strict sense. But even the icons have their exceptions: the most appreciated series is certainly the first, that is the one characterized by covered headlights, while the… Read More Headache: 1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 O.T.S.

French aluminium: 1951 Simca 8 Sport

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

Red gem: 1954 OSCA MT4

This MT4 (chassis # 1148) has been locked in a garage for 46 years, more than half of its life, which began in 1954. Only 78 MT4s have been built and most of them are unknown as these cars were bought to be driven on the track or in road races, so it’s easy to… Read More Red gem: 1954 OSCA MT4

Same place, different car: 1962 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti

It is not easy to find a classic car that is sold new and has remained in the same city, or at least around it. The above is the brief history of this Fiat 600 bodied by Viotti in the “Granluce” version: not rare and not even as beautiful as its sister Coupé, but certainly… Read More Same place, different car: 1962 Fiat 600 Granluce by Viotti

Red puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider

We do not know if this specimen is one of the last with a short wheelbase or one of the first with a long wheelbase, the only thing we know is that it needs a lot of work. Although, to be honest, the most important work to do on this specimen is to understand which… Read More Red puzzle: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
