Judged  for her sporting placings,  "the eternal second", even if she was able to win a lot,  for us as for many others she has a privileged place in our hearts, beautiful that still makes heads turn, she certainly doesn't leave even lay people indifferent ...  We really like her and we certainly couldn't let her sleep in a garage...

And she was finally "freed" into her Habitat...

The initial name was Fiat 1101 Campagnola and then transformed into AR 59 where AR is the acronym for Reconnaissance Vehicle and the number indicates the year the model went into production. It was adopted by the Italian Army, by Public Security, then by the Police, by the Carabinieri, by the Fire Brigade. Many of us who served in the military will certainly remember this vehicle which was supposed to be the first Italian jeep.

When it is said that even the "best" chose this small but multifaceted van to service their cars.

Here it is in its Ferrari livery, in reality there is still something missing to make it perfectly like the original, but we really like it that way too.

of the undisputed "queens"...

4-cylinder 16-valve with turbocharger and air-to-air intercooler cooling system. The displacement was 1,993 cc for a power of 225 HP at 6,250 rpm and 299 Nm at 3,500 rpm, released onto the asphalt by a permanent all-wheel drive system (the torque was distributed 66% to the rear and to the 34% at the front). The transmission was entrusted to a five-speed gearbox Ferguson MT-75 Will this data be enough to keep us entertained???? We'll find out soon

We always bow before this little face with big eyes, in memory of that 1972 when two absolute talents took Italy to the top of the world by winning the Monte Carlo Rally against all odds... other times, other vehicles, other men. Thanks Sandro, thanks Mario and thanks to you, little and fearsome Lancia Fulvia HF

more work done... those jobs that we like so much, those jobs that demanding customers commission you, customers who like quality and ask you to do things with your heart. completely disassembling the chassis of an already restored car seemed like a crime, but I have to say that with the underbody in the original color and the chassis powder-coated it's definitely a whole other story... Ice sandblasting, high pressure washing, powder coating, galvanizing... Ok I admit it... "Mauro, you were right"

Always nice to share passions and life experiences... a wonderful evening with truly unconventional friends... and with exclusive toys!!! Thanks Pergiorgio and your boundless passion for "toys" and thanks to you Rudi for always knowing how to give us some exclusive treats.  

Yes... just her.. you try a lot of cars but then one thought always comes back to her the sporty Berlinetta from Munich. A powerful and ready aspirated six-cylinder, quick to rev up and capable of giving you racing emotions. Beautiful to drive, to listen to and also to look at. With its 3246CC and 343CV at 7900 rpm it is perhaps one of the best engines ever. WELCOME

CHRISTMAS GIFT

Today we dedicate ourselves to these two beautiful and funny "German" 70s ...

Both red, both hilarious, both four-speed, both rear-wheel drive, what more could you ask for from this Monday?

20 23 OCTOBER 2022

We are there ... we still have a few pieces to fix in our garages and from next Thursday 20 October we will be waiting for you in Hall 11 of the Padua fair !!

Do not miss the opportunity to come and admire what we are preparing for you

Padua with its unmissable event called Auto e Moto d'Epoca is approaching and we are starting to prepare the vehicles that will accompany us in this adventure ...

let's start here ...

Motor: 12-cylinder V 65 ° 5748cc power output 540 hp maximum torque 590N-m at 5250 speed 320 km / h from 0 to 100K / h in 4.2 s.

special signs ... Beautiful!

come and visit us from 20 to 23 October at Pavilion 11 we could surprise you

The Lotus Elan represents, in some respects, the sports car par excellence. They were talking about her ... "it is the car that comes closest to driving a formula 1, even in city routes, with Corvette performance and handling of a junior formula". What can I say ... could we not be tempted by this little gem?

Welcome

THIS XJ40 FOUND ABANDONED IN A GARAGE, IT MANAGES TO EXCIT US... KEEPING A CLOSE LINK WITH THE JAGUAR TRADITION AND AT THE SAME TIME RENEWING ITSELF WITH AN ALL NEW AND MODERN TRACT, TAKES US BACK TO THE BEAUTIFUL 80's...

THANKS SIR. WILLIAM LYONS

Almost 80 years after its presentation, we have made a sensational find, the little Willys MB, the most famous off-road vehicle in the world in perfect condition.

Amazing

TEST VETTURA ESEGUITI ! 

MACCHINA DELIBERATA !

DIFFERENZIALE OK

MOTORE OK

ASSETTO OK

ADESSO TOCCA A NOI...

GRAZIE RAGAZZI !!!!

here they are! we washed them, checked and started up ... there would seem to be nothing to do but go to the distributor to make some diesel, exactly as you just got out of the dealer! 

Here we are again !! After an interlude to test the Zero at the 2020 san martino rally and a decidedly watered down attempt with consequent electrical problems at the piancavallo 2021 rally, we said to ourselves, "let's start again from Campagnolo ..." from that race so beautiful and felt by all drivers so much so that a large number of starters have always been registered, from that race that kept us baptized in our first Italian classic car championship and what great satisfactions it has always given us.

This week we want to dedicate ourselves to the legendary Alfa Romeos.

We will start with a splendid Giulia 1300 ti year 1968 in moss green color that seems to have been preserved in a sort of cryonic suspension!

Later we will dedicate ourselves to two beautiful and unobtainable Alfetta Turbodiesel 2.4 which, on closer inspection, never seem to come out of the dealer!

To finish with a less particular but no less beautiful Alfetta 1.6 last series!

It will be fun

sorry for the photo ...

abbiamo parcheggiato le auto in attesa di poter ricominciare a correre!

lo sapiamo che non potrà essere a breve, ma nel frattempo ci consoloremo nel gustarci le nostre piccole meraviglie con vista tatto e olfatto! 

How is it possible to miss the home race?

So we told each other and put on suits and helmets to test this wonder that came out of the Abarth Racing Department 37 years ago!

After a "forced" break, due to the birth of Gioele, Maurizio Finati and Martina Codottto returned to the start of a Special Stage.
Having left the FIAT 124 in the garage, that allowed them to be among the main players of the Hystoric italian rally championship in the last couple of years, the 33rd "Rally Piancavallo" saw Martina and Maurizio get on the top step of the podium driving a Lancia 037.
These are the impressions of the driver at the end of the rally:

let's start from where we had finished in 2017...from inside the cockpit we live the same emotion as the child who greets us form the edge of the street... let's hope not to disappoint him!

We've told ourselves that dreams have to be realized and so we have to get into it...

and since we don't have enough to do, we've also taken on this duty...
restore the car that motorized Italy!

It is with great enthusiasm that we have begun this restoration, on a modest car but all to be saved for its historical meaning.

Maurizio Finati and Martina Codotto, protagonists in the CIRAS 2017, finally got the better of

on the misfortune that, in the two previous editions, had never made them reach the arrival stage

of the Eastern Historic Alps. And not only that. Because, to the satisfaction of having finished the race

Friulian, is added a result, in the final classification, very positive.
