This rare Appia Sport is said to be available to the public for the first time after 40 years during which it was owned by only one person. This person is (or was, we did not understand) a producer known in the studio environment, Arthur Vitarelli, it seems that among his productions there were titles… Read More Producer’s car: 1963 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
Many want cars like the Giulia TZ, but there are mainly two problems to overcome: very few have been produced (some sources cite about 112) and, consequently, their price is very high. The last auction of one of them, in the summer of 2014, brought in just over a million US dollars: it is clear… Read More First steps: 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ replica by Greppi
The Abarth production has been so articulated and creative that it often gives the headache to even the most profound connoisseur of the brand and, believe me, true connoisseurs of the brand are very few around the world. Since we are not among those experts mentioned above, we will refrain from any judgment on the… Read More Red racer: 1960 Abarth 1000 Record Monza by Zagato
The last evolution of the sports cars built by Zagato on a Lancia Appia base is the Sport, also known as “swb” and, apparently, designed by Ercole Spada. Swb as the wheelbase had been shortened by 16cm but, apart from that, this model also differed aesthetically in other aspects including the front and other details… Read More Red and low: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
We must admit that, if until 4-5 years ago finding some Appia Zagato for sale was a recurring event, for a couple of years now we have been seeing very few of them. The specimen covered by this article is, moreover, a particular version. It is in fact one of the very few that have… Read More An early one: 1957 Lancia Appia GT by Zagato
As with all rules, exceptions are occasionally found, and this also applies to classic cars: in this case it was the turn of a GT Junior Zagato. The exception, in this case, concerns the appearance of the car characterized by widened fenders and, consequently, by wheels and tires large enough to fill the new spaces… Read More Wide hips: 1972 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
Dust on a classic car always causes curiosity, you know, but if the car in question is an SZ, then it gets a lot of attention. The seller briefly describes the history of this car: it was built in 1960 but registered only in 1965 and then abandoned in a field in 1971 (probably because… Read More Dust and mystery: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ
It does not matter if it is a replica, the TZ1 still attracts attention also because it is not easy to have $ 750,000 available to buy an original one. Obviously the replica must be done well because, otherwise, it would not interest anyone, and this car in particular seems to be built very well… Read More Tubolare in the shell: 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ Replica
Here we are in the presence of one of the best pieces among the Italian cars of the 60s: an important factory and an equally famous coachbuilder. It is worth saying that this is not a car born to have a “civil” use and therefore converted to racing: the OSCA 1600 GT was born with… Read More Winning four: 1963 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
There is still the possibility of finding some Junior Zagato to be restored: we no longer believed it possible but it is so. In this specific case we do not know if we are dealing with a 1300 or a 1600: the seller does not specify it and we are unable to grasp sufficient clues… Read More Chassis #133: 1967 Alfa Romeo GT by Zagato
