What has actually attracted us about this car is not only the car in itself which is rare and in barn find conditions, but also the asking price which is, you know, “cheap”. The seller says that the car is stored in a garage since 1982 and, of course, it needs a total restoration but… Read More Cheap: 1960 Abarth 750 Sestriere by Zagato
This early 356 is said to be an original german car sold by the Stuttgart dealer Hahn, then it was exported to U.S.A. for 50 years. Since five years though the car is again in Europe.

Lancia again. This time though, it is not a “common” Flaminia but a rare Flavia Zagato with an even rare color combo: the seller says that’s white on white but that’s not correct. Indeed the paint is Santa Anita Ivory and interiors are upholstered in tan leather: a very unusual color combo and for sure… Read More Whiteout: 1965 Lancia Flavia Sport by Zagato
This Flaminia Coupè could seem a desperate case if you look at the first photo only, but the truth is that it is actually ready for a full restoration. Indeed the seller says that he bought the car five years ago then started the restoration process: many parts like the dashboard, instruments, radio, wiring, carburetors,… Read More Ready for the job: 1963 Lancia Flaminia 2500 3B Coupé by Pininfarina
Back in the fifties it was not easy to afford an Italian sports car, it was indeed much easier to buy a fiberglass body shaped like the european GT’s and merge it to an american chassis and engine. These kits were produced in North Hollywood, CA, by Jerry Sutton who sold the C-2 in two… Read More Still waiting: 1956 Victress C-2 Coupé
This Giulietta Sprint – project car – is actually primed in black but that’s not a problem as this car is said to be born painted in black: a beautiful and unusual color for a Sprint. By the way ths car belongs to the “interim” series built for a couple of years between the late… Read More Black project: 1959 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
This Appia Convertibile (or what remains of it) is actually a California car purchased by the actual owner who trailed it to his home in Santa Fe, but the restoration process never began. The car is apparently in scary condition but I swear I’ve seen cars apparently in condition way better than this is, but… Read More Santa Fe Trail: 1959 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
We didn’t know that the Giulietta Veloce was built even in 1963: those were the years of the Giulia but actually few 1300 c.c. were built in that year. Update: see comment below This one is a late series Veloce which is actually offered as a car to be restored: it was probably born in… Read More Late car: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider Veloce
A classic Ferrari in a garage or a barn is of course the dream of every classic cars nut, only to discover that Ferrari is missing its engine and transmission. That is indeed the destiny of this car which, sometime in the past, became to be transformed into something different from what it as been… Read More Missing something: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTE
Seeing a car – that I used to see along the streets when I was young – slowly becoming a classic, makes me somehow unconfortable but I presume that I can’t do anything to stop all of this so here it is: a very quick hatchback from the early eighties. The most powerful car after the… Read More 7.5 seconds: 1981 Renault 5 Alpine Turbo
