Uncle’s car: 1973 Saab Sonnett III

If, looking at this Swedish car, you have the impression of recognizing the Italian style of the time, you are not wrong. The designer of this small Swedish berlinetta is in fact Sergio Coggiola, a little-known car designer who, however, had important experiences such as the one at Ghia. Either way, the Sonnett IIII oozes… Read More Uncle’s car: 1973 Saab Sonnett III

Carbon look: 1957 Porsche 356 A Coupé

This 356A is very down in the dumps, it will take a lot of work to restore it to acceptable looks and function, yet we believe it is someone’s dream. The reason is obvious: in fact this is a blank sheet from which you can start for any type of creation. In fact, since the… Read More Carbon look: 1957 Porsche 356 A Coupé

Ti-red: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

This 2000 Spider has definitely seen better days, but it’s still better than many “projects” seen lately. In fact, we have seen models like this, or 2600s, so rotten that we don’t understand how they are still all in one piece, for sale at prices which, although apparently low, would have led the owner to… Read More Ti-red: 1959 Alfa Romeo 2000 Spider by Touring

Red project: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce

It’s amazing how, despite the cleanup of all the barns and backyards done in the last 15 years, cars like this still pop out. This Giulietta Spider Veloce swb (chassis AR1495F.09918), certainly the most coveted of the series together with its bigger sister Giulia, was in fact taken off the road in 1969 and bought… Read More Red project: 1958 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce

Fallen God: 1963 Apollo 5000 GT

The idea of the Apollo was born from the desire of Milt Brown, a young Californian engineer, to create an American response to the European GTs such as the Ferrari berlinettas and the Aston Martin. In his search for a coachbuilder, in 1960 he met Frank Reisner, a Hungarian transplanted to America who had founded… Read More Fallen God: 1963 Apollo 5000 GT

Seasoned star: 1939 Mercedes-Benz 170V Cabriolet A

This is what a car that has been sitting in a shed for many decades looks like. A car, by the way, never restored since its pre-WWII production. In fact this car, during its long life, has seen a lot of history pass by it, and we are sure that it will probably still see… Read More Seasoned star: 1939 Mercedes-Benz 170V Cabriolet A

Rare texan: 1971 OTAS Grand Prix 820cc

We know many of you are thinking, “Hey, this is a Francis Lombardi,” and you’re actually pretty much right, but the truth is a little more complicated. We know in fact that this model, built by the Piedmontese Francis Lombardi, has taken on various names and different characteristics: the first that comes to mind is… Read More Rare texan: 1971 OTAS Grand Prix 820cc

White project: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider

Unlike other classic cars, for the Spider Alfa Romeo first series, the rule applies that the latest model produced is the one that is worth more. In our case the latest model is also the most powerful, i.e. the one equipped with the DOHC engine with a displacement of 1750 cc, universally appreciated above all… Read More White project: 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Spider

Very special: 1959 PMS Panhard

Finding very special cars for sale has always been our aim, and this little racing car fully satisfies that requirement, not least because it looks like a barn find. The builder of this car was Paul Meniessier, a Citroën agent and a pilot in the South of France. Ménissier designed and built this PMS-Panhard (PMS… Read More Very special: 1959 PMS Panhard

Unsolved mystery: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

This car may not have any particular historical value, but it certainly makes for an interesting conversation piece, at least according to what the seller says. The owner bought it in 1974 but unfortunately cannot share the story as he is deceased, his wife only knows that the car was last started ten years ago… Read More Unsolved mystery: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
