Special combo: 1965 Lancia Flaminia GT Coupé by Touring

This is a quite “common” Flaminia Coupé built fifty years ago by Touring coachworks, but its color combo is not common at all. Indeed that’s the first time that we see this light blue on this model and, trust us, we’ve seen a lot of these for sale. That is probably a special order color… Read More Special combo: 1965 Lancia Flaminia GT Coupé by Touring

Little red Ferrari: 1965 ASA 1000 GT

The ASA 1000 GT needs no presentation for all the classic cars enthusiasts: known as the “Ferrarina” (little Ferrari), it has always considered as a little masterpiece. Indeed who started this venture was sure that a little car with high performances could fill a market gap back in 1965 and he was even right: unfortunately… Read More Little red Ferrari: 1965 ASA 1000 GT

Half windshield: 1957 Simca Aronde Plein Ciel by Facel

This Simca Aronde Plein Ciel seems a very dry car which have been never abused in its life: other than being almost rustless it is also complete, with one exception. Indeed it looks a perfect candidate for a restoration which it’s not difficult if all the parts are with the car: unfortunately this car has a… Read More Half windshield: 1957 Simca Aronde Plein Ciel by Facel

Ready for the job: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce

This is of of 1091 cars made because, other than being a Giulia Spider, it carries (at least once) the badge “Veloce”. That means that the engine of these cars was modified to be moe powerful: it actually was the same unit installed on the Giulia Sprint Speciale and that means different camshafts, a couple… Read More Ready for the job: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce

Abandoned Junior: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior

Actually, many of these cars have been abused, abandoned, environmentally recycled or crushed in the past: this one has been abandoned but still something remains of it. It s a red GT Junior which has not been abused as it looks pretty original with the exception of the period correct mag wheels, but the point… Read More Abandoned Junior: 1969 Alfa Romeo GT Junior

Green and Gold: 1967 Porsche 911S 2.0

All we know (almost all) that the magic “S” after “Porsche 911” means performance and value, but not all know that if that “S” belongs to a pre-1968 car, the value rises a lot. It raises steeply if that “S” belongs to a matching numbers car like this one is said to be: it actually… Read More Green and Gold: 1967 Porsche 911S 2.0

Italian delivery: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce

This GT Veloce was originally delivered to its first owner in Italy but then a former soldier stationed in Italy (hence the “AFI” plate) bought the car and took it with him in the U.S.A. That’s not at all the first time we read a story like this, unfortunately just like many stories like this,… Read More Italian delivery: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce

Cut away: 1954 Siata 1100 Coupé by Vignale

The Siata 1100 built by Vignale was a rare car even back then in the fifties, so it’s quite unusual, today, to find one still in restorable conditions. We don’t know the exact build year of the car as the actual plate was issued in 1963 but these were built from 1954 to 1958, nor… Read More Cut away: 1954 Siata 1100 Coupé by Vignale

50 years owership: 1960 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring

A representative of one of the most elegant cars built in the sixties needs a lot of help as no one took care of her for a long time – despite a 50 years ownership – and of course years have taken their toll. Of course this model, because of the aluminium body, don’t have… Read More 50 years owership: 1960 Maserati 3500 GT by Touring

Christmas orange: 1974 Maserati Merak 3000

The Merak is to Bora as Mercedes 190 SL is to 300 SL: the equation is simple but, differently from the 190 SL, the Merak had 200 hp on which to rely on. This car though, has some issues. It is a car which clearly had an accident which involved not only the front fender… Read More Christmas orange: 1974 Maserati Merak 3000
