Update 19/2: The auction was ended early with a Buy-It-Now of EUR39800. No surprise there really …
From 17/2:
Older sports tourers are seriously cool in our opinion, and especially these older Maserati GTs. This particular one for sale on ebay Germany needs completion and is unfortunately missing a few bits and pieces. It is a Maserati 3500 GTi (2a serie), an aluminium-bodied, fuel-injected 2+2 coupe designed by Carrozzeria Touring. About 500 were made.

We featured one of these cars back in September 2008. Another one has come up for sale, again in Italy. Rome to be more precise. It seems like someone started the restoration but has decided to pass on the opportunity. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to mention a price.

We came across this special Ferrari on a website in Italy last week. It goes by the name Conciso and originated as a styling exercise by the German studio michalakDESIGN. It got its inspiration from the 1950s Barchetta cars. We emailed the seller, or must we say “alleged” seller and asked for a price. It was a lot. And he didn’t have the car.

15/1: We have been informed the car has been sold.
From 12/1:
For sale in the area around Calais in the north of France is this 1973 Fiat 124 Abarth that needs completing. This is an extraordinary opportunity for someone to acquire one of the homologation versions of these rally icons of the 1970s. We are very tempted ourselves to buy the car and we can see this car gone in no time.

We’ve covered a few Morettis before, and we must admit that we quite like his cars. He was quite an enterprising character really, he set up his own company at 21 years of age. He built cars based on Fiats and you’ll be hard pushed these days to find two identical cars as lots of them had little differences. And you’ll be VERY lucky to see another one of these come up for sale. It’s a Moretti 2500SS Coupé based on the Fiat 2300. We’ve only known a 2500SS Spider come up for sale on ebay UK a couple of years ago.

For some, there are definitely positives to the current economic downturn. Some pretty amazing and unique automobiles are coming onto the market. But we don’t think economics has anything to do with this Lancia Special coming up for sale. It is a Lancia Beta Coupé chopped and changed into a Group 4 rally machine. Add some of the most widely recognised livery schemes into the mix and you get a really nice looking car that nobody else has.

Update 1/6: the car sold in Monaco at the Bonhams Les Grandes Marques auction for £137,632.
Update 3/1: The owner has put the car here on ebay UK for GBP139000 or best offer.
Update 30/10: The red Spider at RMauctions sold for GBP181500. A bit below our expectations
From 29/10:
With the credit crunch starting to bite left, right and center, more classic cars are coming onto the market. And the people with the money seem to be increasingly looking at blue chip classics as an investment alternative. Some pretty unique cars are changing hands at the moment. Two weeks ago, a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider America sold for GBP247,500 at auction and quite amazingly today another 1954 B24 Spider America is going under the hammer at RM Auctions in Central London with an in our opinion very conservative estimate.

Update 11/12: The seller has kindly emailed us more pics. Also, the price advertised on his website seems to be incorrect. He wants EUR130000. He also sells a Colotti gearbox, highly-tuned spare engine and the original rear axle for EUR45000.
We have found another Alfa GTA for sale, but this one is not a replica. This is a real Autodelta car that has been used for the Italian Hillclimb Championship between 1969 and 1975. It is a proper racer and it looks amazing. The price tag is accordingly.

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.

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.
