Two days, two California black plate cars: today the car published is not a big shot of the market but nevertheless it’s less lovely than the early Porsche. First because of the car itself which is a superb example of italian microcar engineering and style: this car has a lovely coral/black color combo which is… Read More PYK 450: 1959 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile
We were pretty sure that in the Los Angeles area anyone could find whatever car he is looking for, and this car is the proof of that. It’s a rare Fiat 1200 Spider, not as rare as her older sister, the 1100, but still a car you will barely see into the wild if you… Read More Rare foreigner: 1958 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
This car was, back then, the main competitor of the Fiat 500: the Bianchina had better finishing than its rival but the same engine and was bought by who wanted to distinguish himself from the mass: so it was then and so it is now. The seller of this car has started a restoration but… Read More Outta time: 1958 Autobianchi Bianchina Trasformabile
The “Stella Alpina” is the name of a rare flower growing along the Alps rising on the northern edge of Italy: it’s so rare that if the police catches you with one of those you will pay a huge ticket. This car is even more rare than such flower. Monviso coachworks, which built this ca, was specialised… Read More Many badges: 1950 Fiat 1100 “Stella Alpina” by Monviso
The Fiat 1400 cabriolet was the first Fiat project made from scratch after the second world war, also thanks to the funds coming from the U.S.A. by Marshall Plan.

Most of the Fiat Spider type 103 for sale and published (also by us) during the last years belong to the second series, a.k.a 1200 TV, but very few are 1100 TV Trasformabile (spider) like this one. Actually, even though they may look the same, the two series have many differences which, mostly, reside in the… Read More Hot core: 1955 Fiat 1100 TV Trasformabile
The “Trasformabile” (the italian word uesd to say “cabriolet” back in the fifties) was one of the two version of the Siata Daina, a beautiful, scaled down Aurelia B20 produced from the 1950 to 1953 by Siata and designed and assembled by Farina coachworks.

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
This is an ultra-rare pre-war Siata Amica Trasformabile, built on Fiat 500B chassis (a.k.a. “Topolino”). It’s indeed a rare event to see one of these, especially if for sale. This car has not only the chassis but also the engine, drivetrain and suspensions of the Topolino so the good is that finding the correct spare parts… Read More Transformed Topolino: 1939 Siata Amica Trasformabile
