This is the car that Arthur Drexler, director of the M.o.M.A. in New York, called a “sculpture in motion”, and in fact a closed version has been part of the museum’s permanent installation since 1951. In fact, if you take a look at cars around the world produced in 1950, this one looks like it… Read More Sculpture in motion: 1950 Cisitalia 202 Cabriolet
Just a few weeks ago we released this Appia Convertible, underlining the fact that being a two-seater it was a very rare car. Well now you can see what it would look like once restored. This is a very first series, even built in 57, which still seems to have its original black “Torino” plates:… Read More Red & white: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Ok, we imagine that at first glance you may look at this ad and think “What am I supposed to do with this wreck?” This question would make perfect sense if the car in question was an Appia Convertible belonging to the third series, this instead belongs to the second series and this means three… Read More Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
Here we are in the presence of a very rare – probably unique – coachbuilt Fiat built by Vignale at the beginning of the famous body shop: even if Vignale seems to have always built cars, it actually lasted (under the guidance of Alfredo) only twenty years. Twenty years only but very intense, which have… Read More Green orchid: 1950 Fiat 1400 Orchidea by Vignale
When Italian classic car enthusiasts hear the name “Appia Vignale” they naturally think of the convertible version: they would be surprised to see this sedan instead. We collected out thoughts but this actually seems to us the first time we see this model offered for sale: we remember having seen it in a book about… Read More Subtle coachbuilt: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina by Vignale
This 1100 TV is part of that small circle of coupes built by Vignale in the end of the fifties, of which very few survive today. A great-uncle of mine had one then (I’m talking about the late 1950s), and at the time this was considered a high-end car and it definitely made the owner… Read More Inner circle: 1956 Fiat 1100 Tv “Desireé” by Vignale
This is the 16th Italia 2000 on sale published by us since we are online, probably because we have a soft spot for this car. Having in fact fully restored a specimen ten years ago, we can say that we know it well enough even if there are certainly people who know more about it… Read More The 16th one: 1961 Italia 2000 by Vignale
The great diversity of special cars built in the 1950s in Italy, using Fiat 1100 chassis and engines, is well represented by this small berlinetta. Here too we have a chassis derived from the Fiat 1100-103 TV and also its engine which, of course, has been further elaborated with respect to the Fiat specifications: sometimes… Read More Rare goods: 1956 Fiat 1100-103 TV by Vignale
This strange car with a frowning expression is quite rare, certainly because of its displacement but also and above all for its angular lines that evidently did not meet the preferences of potential customers of 60 years ago. The design is by Michelotti and the chassis on which the bodywork was built (by Vignale) is… Read More Angry face: 1960 Fiat 2100 Coupé by Vignale
This Italia 2000 is one of the very latest built, and in fact is a model produced in 1963, we do not know the chassis number but it could belong to a TR3 / A. It seems that the car was sold new in the US even in 1964 so when, practically, the production of… Read More High number: 1963 Italia 2000 Coupé by Vignale
