So far we have often seen these cabriolets by Vignale built after the 1960, but actually cars built before that year are quite rare. Then, this is not a first series Cabriolet: the first series had only two seats (this is a 2+2 car), a discontinued side profile (with the rear fins more outlined than… Read More Early car: 1959 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
The 1958 saw the birth of the FV4, the most powerful Facel Vega ever produced as it was equipped with a 383 C.I. V8 Chrysler engine also called “Typhoon”. Only 85 of these cars were built in 1958 so this barn find is truly a rare car; moreover this is the first time we see… Read More Typhoon inside: 1958 Facel Vega FV4
As long as this car was produced in 261 specimens, it can easily defined “rare”. It’s a Alpine A110 L where “L” is for long: indeed this is the longest Alpine ever made as its overall lenght is slightly more than 4 meters. However the fiberglass body helped it to contain the weigth within 700 kgs.… Read More Unmatching wheels: 1964 Alpine A110 L GT4
The last series of the Mistral is the only to have the biggest inline-six engine ever produced by Maserati: it’s a 4.0 litre unit which, in this case, is not into the car. The seller doesn’t say much about this car: basically he says that although the body is in nice shape (and actually it seems… Read More Outboard engine: 1966 Maserati Mistral 4.0 Coupé
Here is another “Pantera” (as these cars were called when used by Italian police) for sale: it needs toi be restored, it’s black outside and brown inside. It has the chassis number #AR824989 and it’s said to have an excellent body without a dramatic amount of rust: rust is there for sure but actually this… Read More Two for one: 1965 Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
This is a 4.7, not a 4.9: the seller says this as the two models had different production numbers and the 4.9 is the scarcer of the Indy family built by Vignale. That, of course, doesn’t mean that you will find this Maserati behind the corner: it stills is a maserati produced in few specimens:… Read More The trident underdog: 1972 Maserati Indy 4.7
This is the second green Urraco published here; the other one was a P200 while this one is a P250, not as rare as its bigger sister, the P300, but not common at all. In our opinion, this green is the color which fits perfectly this daughter of the italian design of the seventies, and… Read More Green bull/2: 1974 Lamborghini Urraco P250 S
This is one of the Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina which have dodged the same destiny of many others which have been scrapped during the last 30 years. Of course that happened as this model has not the same sleek, streamlined lines of its cousin made by Touring, but still it’s a typical example of how well… Read More Dirt and gray: 1960 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina
This Kellison J6 is said to be one of only 500 made and it clearly shows a psychedelic paint which for sure dates back sometimes between the late sixties and the mid seventies. It’s the first time we see a Kellison with its roof chopped, and we must say that we like it. It is… Read More Psychedelic paint job: 1962 Kellison J6 Roadster
Many of these panel cars were made by Lancia as they were often used by small companies in order to make quick deliveries around the city. Unfortunately most of them were scrapped as, once they became old cars, they could not be recycled in the used car market: indeed the few cars remained are basically… Read More A different delivery: 1955 Lancia Appia “Furgoncino”
