#convertibile

The Flaminia was Lancia’s flagship in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the Touring-bodied convertible sits in the most exclusive part of the range: coachbuilt, elegant, and built in very limited numbers. The first-series 2.5-litre single-carburettor cars are among the rarer Flaminias, and this is the aspect that gives the model most of its interest today, more than outright performance. This…

This 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible is presented as a long-hidden discovery and one of the most desirable open Aurelia variants. The “B24S” designation refers to the Sinistra (left-hand drive) configuration, and the model is described as one of 521 built. As the more developed evolution of the earlier B24 Spider, the Convertible retained the same elegant open grand-touring character but…

We don’t know what kind of experiment the person who repainted this Appia Convertibile many years ago had in mind, but one thing is certain: they would have done better to leave its original color, Azzurro Vincennes, a classic shade of the era, particularly favored by Lancia and Maserati. This yellow (or what’s left of it), in fact, seems more suited to a car with sporting ambitions than to a…

Two in a row doesn’t refer to the make and model of the car, but rather to two convertibles, in a similar condition, with a very similar color both inside and outside. The one published yesterday is technically a running car, something that can certainly not be said about this Flavia Convertible 1800, whose restoration was abandoned in the initial phase. However, it started from a car that seems…

When a special on a Fiat 1100 base appears on the market, we have to publish it, we can’t do without it. Even more so if it is one of the very few (don’t ask us how many, but here we are talking about two dozen at best) Cabriolets dressed by Allemano: this car in particular is the second we see; in fact, it has a blue sister with a red interior sold three years ago at RM Sotheby’s auction. The…

Recensione KUU Lebook 2-in-1: un Surface economico è possibile?

Per parlarvi di questo prodotto devo fare un salto nel passato di circa un anno, quando una PR con cui avevo già collaborato mi ha proposto la recensione di un convertibile 2-in-1. Nel momento in cui l’ho ricevuto ho notato subito molti difetti, sia hardware che software: costruzione scadente, rumorosità, instabilità operativa. Quindi l’ho ricontattata ed ho proposto una restituzione, segnalando…

Flamboyant: 1957 Fiat 1100-103E TV Convertibile

This car is small and, we could say, it is “simply” a Fiat, but in reality it is a very special and rare car. Even if you seem to have seen many around, in reality you have probably seen the 1200 which, although it has a basically the same bodywork, is distinguished by dozens of details that, if they are missing on this model, are nowhere to be found and, in case you find them , very expensive,…

Red & white: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Just a few weeks ago we released this Appia Convertible, underlining the fact that being a two-seater it was a very rare car. Well now you can see what it would look like once restored. This is a very first series, even built in 57, which still seems to have its original black “Torino” plates: you can’t ask for better. It has been completely restored and, we add, also very well, at least judging…
