All Lamborghinis are rare, but some are more special than others. The 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50th Anniversario Edition celebrates the 50 years of Lamborghini. Only 100 are said to have been produced, and to distinguish the 50th from just a regular Aventador, one will instantly notice the shocking yellow […]

1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia TI Super Competition Saloon

The Giulia TI (Turismo Internationale) was Alfa Romeo’s flagship high-performance saloon in the 1960s. Introduced in 1962 and outwardly almost indistinguishable from the outgoing 1.3-liter Giulietta, the Series 101 Giulia boasted a more powerful and much less fussy 1,570-cc engine. Despite their boxy, unitary construction body, the Giulietta and Giulia […]

Choose Wisely — or Not at All

From the beginning, the Fiat 850 Spider has been overshadowed by its big sister, the 124 Spider. The 124 was prettier, more powerful and arranged as a proper sports car with the engine in front and the drive wheels in back. In contrast, the 850 Spider had its engine in […]

1956 Fiat-Bartoletti Tipo 306 Race Car Transporter

This is the Maserati factory team’s transporter of its World Championship-winning Fangio 250F season of 1957 — and which would also have taken Fangio’s Piccolo 250F (Chassis 2533) to the last race of his glittering career at Reims in 1958. It was subsequently acquired by Lance Reventlow for his Team […]

1996 Subaru Impreza WRC97 Rally Car

Initially road registered as P555 WRC but better known by its long-term moniker P18 WRC, this car had been given a superficial cosmetic refurbishment prior to entering the current ownership.
