Once upon a time there was a superb and elegant coupè called 1900 C Super Sprint, usually driven by jet-set people who liked the ialian style. Now it’s sad and rotten, but for sure it will find a saviour. This is the last series (3rd) of the 1900 family, which has the best look and… Read More Once upon a time: 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 C Super Sprint by Touring
We have yet published another Simca, but then it was a Plein Ciel. This time is a rare Océane, much scarcer than the first one. This car is now in the UK but it came from Oregon, which is not a dry country at all; however this car, although in need of a total restoration,… Read More French style: 1960 Simca Aronde Océane
Moretti was an historic brand of the coachbuilt cars world but, unfortunately, like its competitors it began to have financial problems at the end of the sixties: the great coachbuilder era was going to quit and, with the exception of Pininfarina and Ghia, most coachbuilders must shrink their dreams of glory and take care of… Read More Dino’s daughter: 1968 Moretti Sportiva
We’ve seen some Cadillac Meteor for sale, but never a car this old. It’s a 1952 green ambulance whick looks rather tired and in need of a lot of work. The seller says that he bought this car in 1986, then he have rebuilt the engine (spending more than $7,000) but the car is basically unused… Read More Green code: 1952 Cadillac Meteor Ambulance
Some Porsche metal here, which has almost the shape of an early 911. And, because you’re not used to see early 911 spider, there is a roof which can be detached from a 912, just in case… Apart from this “little” gap, the car has also few rust everywhere and a no-matching 2.0L engine which,… Read More One car plus one roof: 1966 Porsche 911
This ’63 Giulia Spider (VIN #374253) is in “ground level” conditions: it is almost completely dismantled and the doors are missing but the seller says that they can be purchased online for only $300. The seller says also that the body is already primed (whatever there is under such primer) but the floors need to… Read More Doors not included: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
Actually, this car needs much more than some cans of fresh paint: seats are missing too. However, with a lot of patience it could be a nice challenge. The seller says that the car is basically solid, at least the body and the floors are, but there is rust on the door sills (as usual). The… Read More Some paint needed: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
Mr. Rapley confirms his skills in finding Zagato cars. What we have here is a double sale: a 750 Double Bubble and a (stock) Fiat 600 Multipla. The Zagato needs everything: no engine or gearbox (even if the seller provides them apart, and even more than one), floors have to be rebuilt and, substantially, a… Read More Buncha Fiat 600: 1959 Abarth Zagato 750 and Fiat 600 Multipla
This ’67 GT Veloce was probably born painted in “Faggio”, but the Texas sun made its job properly and now it looks basically “cooked”. It’s however an interesting project. It wears a set of BWA mag wheels and, despite few rust spot, it doesn’t seem sentenced to death by the metal cancer. On the contrary,… Read More Cooked to perfection: 1967 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Veloce
After a two years production (1958-1960) and a little more than 2000 cars made, the MG A Twin Cam came out of the production lines, both because the engine used to give much troubles to the owners and for its high selling price. However, just after the end of the production, the cause of such… Read More Rough diamond: 1958 MG-A Twin Cam
