“This is my Giulietta SZ, there are many like her but this is mine”. We leave it to you to discover the inspiration of this sentence but, apart from the cinematic quotes, this actually seems a very special example. Special for several reasons, just to begin with it is accompanied by a rich photographic documentation… Read More Direct progeny: 1961 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ Coda Tronca
We have already seen an Appia in its convertible version, so there is nothing wrong with seeing one converted by Zagato. It is in fact a GTE, characterized by the longer wheelbase of its “Sport” saddles and by a general greater resemblance to its big sister, the Flaminia built by Zagato which in common has… Read More Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
In this case “bug” is not the nickname given to the Volkswagen Typ1, but to this insect-shaped car, very precious and sought after. In fact, it is a Record Monza characterized in particular by two things: the roof without the double bubble and above all, under the rear hood, a 750 Bialbero engine very angry… Read More Yellow bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Record Monza by Zagato
This is a “technically” rare car but it is amazing how many examples of this model have been recovered in the last ten years, and some are still popping up. As we have indeed already written in the past, the historical (and therefore economic) revaluation of classic cars in general has meant that on the… Read More Still bubbles: 1959 Abarth 750 by Zagato

It is a 750 and has a double bubble on the roof, the seller… Read More Family friend: 1958 Abarth 750 by Zagato
It seems that this is the appearance of a GT Junior built by Zagato that has been standing still in a garage since 1997: in addition to the unmistakable shape it is also painted in the ivory color typical of the late 60s, and widely used by Zagato also on the Fulvia Sport. , and… Read More Ivory project: 1970 Alfa Romeo GT Junior by Zagato
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
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
