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.

Not so rare now: Fiat Moretti 850 (x4)

The Fiat platforms of the 50s and 60s have been used for so many different cars, it is easy to lose count. Moretti was one of those coachbuilders. His best-known car is probably his version of the Fiat 850. He was obviously inspired by Pininfarina and his design for the Fiat Dino Spider. Here we found a few Morettis for sale in Italy.

Unique? 1955 Abarth 750 Coupé by Allemano

Update 6/12:  Guy Moerenhout emailed us with some more pictures of the car. It seems even Guy is not convinced it is a real Abarth, although he acknowledges it is well possible. Allemano designed the car based on the Fiat 600 chassis. We have uploaded more pictures after the jump. Email us if you want all of the pictures.

 

It is the only photo available, but this little Abarth by Allemano looks phenomenal. Allemano designed a few versions of the Fiat 750, and this is one of them. The most famous Fiat Abarth based on the Fiat 750 is of course the Record Monza or “Double Bouble” by Zagato.

Promising: 1965 MGB Roadster Works replica

Update 29/11:  The MG has been relisted. Links updated.

In every roadtest the MGB Roadster features, the car comes out as rather boring and underpowered. These cars scream for upgrading, in our opinion. For us, the V8 engine swaps and rally (replica) versions are the ones to go for and we were well chuffed when we first set our eyes on the little thumbnail of this particular car on German ebay.

Great combo: 1973 Jensen-Healey with TVR 3.9 V8

Service at ClassicCarHunter has been interrupted a bit by the arrival of a wee boy. We hope to resume regularity of posts as soon as possible. From now on, we should really be looking for cars with at least some space for a toddler in the back, but we couldn’t help liking this Jensen-Healey for sale on ebay UK through a trader.
