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.
Only 2200 of these cars were originally built and in the last couple of months this is the second one that has come up for sale. In France this time, and a one-owner car. We spotted it on anciennes.net here for €21500.
Update 23/9: The car is a unique body made on a Fiat 508c Balilla basis. It was made in 1953. Thank you to Nik on alfabb.com.
Here at Classic Car Hunter, we are astonished sometimes with the amount of cars that Fiat used to produce. Or the amount of Fiat derivatives or etceterinis as they are called. Here is yet another different body based on the Fiat 508c or 1100.
Update 12/9: Fred on Leblogdino.com has kindly forwarded us a picture of the interior. Looks great.
Ever since we first laid our eyes on this Fiat Dino Coupe, we have wanted it. The car features on a Dino website and quite often we would go and have a peek to see if it was still there.
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 …
For sale in Italy are these 2 pretty unique Fiat 1100s. They are Giardinetta versions by the coachbuilder Viotti. It was quite a mission to find some information about these cars, but thanks to AlfaBB, a few readers sent in pictures and specification.
16/1: This car is still for sale. The photos have been updated.
From 26/8/08:
We really like the Alfa GTAm. It has a nice aggressive look. What started in 1965 with the Auto-Delta Giulia GTA, resulted in 1969 with the wider-bodied GTAm. The A standing for “allegerata” or lightweight and the M for “maggiorata” or bigger.
Only 502 examples were made of this little two-seater barchetta. And then two show up for sale around the same time. One red one for sale in Italy and one a bit more expensive, two-tone one in Lille, France. These were fiberglass bodies put on a Fiat 600 chassis. Autobianchi were one of the first companies to use full fiberglass bodies. People didn’t like it very much though.
Last week the head of the Pininfarina design studios tragically died in a motorbike accident. One of the studio’s most successful designs was the Fiat 124 Spider by Tom Tjaarda in 1968. For sale here we have found a pretty clean early example with the desirable chrome bumpers and flat bonnet.
