Classic cars are our passion. Driving our classic cars is an even bigger passion. But the internet is our addiction ... Just as we can drive for hours, we can surf the internet for hours on end. Always trying to find that special car for sale in some obscure little corner.

Update 16/9:  The Fiat didn’t make reserve. The car has been relisted. Links updated.

 

Fiat 131 Abarths command big prices these days. Also the Racing and Sport versions are now quite difficult to get hold of. So what do you do if you really really want a Fiat 131 racer? You buy the first 131 you can get your hands on and start with some modifying …

Unique: 1967 VW Beetle Van conversion

Rare: 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ

But we’re afraid of the quality of the pictures, and we think the tonneau cover and the interior could just be red instead.
