This car looks has few misterious points which really puzzle us, it would be nice to solve them. First, this car is claimed as a Veloce: we didn’t know about 750E cars made in 1958, but the car could even having been registered in that year. The chassis number plate is coherent with such statement and,… Read More Nice mistery: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce
This elegant and stylish coupé was the result of the effort put toghether by Renzo Rivolta and his engineer Giotto Bizzarrini to built a fast coupé. Actually this car was designed not to deal with Ferrari’s but with a smaller concurrent like the Fiat 2300 Coupè. However in the end this was much more powerful and… Read More Hybrid works: 1965 ISO Rivolta IR 300
This car looks like a desperate case but we’ve seen cars in worse conditions than this one and, never forget it, it’s still a 3rd series Super Sprint. So what we have here is a dismantled car (chassis #10475), maybe because the owner gave up on restoring it. We can understand him because this is a… Read More Rest in pieces: 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS by Touring
This is one of the 1,920 Superbird produced in 1970 but it’s not equipped with the hemi engine but with a 440 Magnum, so back then this car had enough power to have fun. This is one of the very few barn find we’ve seen in the last years, at least since the muscle cars… Read More Call Sonny: 1970 Plymouth Superbird
Believe it or not, nowadays you can still see barn finds like this one which, indeed, is a rare B24S which has been stored many years.

The seller says that there is rust under the sills (as usual)… Read More Restoration doesn’t matter: 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24 Convertibile
This is one of those Porsche’s which have the magic pair: matching numbers and one owner from new.

When you think to a german classic car to restore, a BMW is not the first idea that comes to your mind, both because generally the most famous BMW were made beginning from the ’70s and because the bavarian badge has not the same appeal of Mercedes or Porsche. There are however some ’60s BMW… Read More Not the usual project: 1963 BMW 3200 CS by Bertone
This 1st series E-Type has arrived to us from the early days of rock’n’roll: watching those very old tires it’s clear that this former car has been abandoned somewhere many years ago and then cannibalized of its engine and transmission. Now it’s just a rolling chassis. Someone could say that it’s just a parts car as restoring… Read More Rock and rolling: 1963 Jaguar E-Type Coupé
Two are the odd things about this ad: the first is that the seller says that this car was originally painted in “banana yellow”, but so far we didn’t know that was a shade used by Bertone. The other thing is that now the car is painted in a dark bronze color outside, while the engine… Read More Banana, chocolate and tomato: 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint
