Love this car………..it ran in two M/M’s what a history. this is my vote for #1.
Jim
Difficult choice. The lines, of the Number 4 ’53 Stanguellini, speak to the soul ~ so she gets my vote.
Number 2. Restored from a piece of playground equipment.
#10–the blue Siata coupe. Bite-size sophistication as opposed to those wonderful flights of fancy
I’ll vote for #7
Any chance of photo of front of #8 please ??
I DO like that Bandini, number 9. I like the lines and, of course, the color!
Number 2 of course. The Sport 1100 represents the very best in style. An automobile of unrivaled beauty.
#2 is a beautiful car. It is beautifully and lovingly restored. It has my vote.
It has to be Number 4. The pure Italian lines say it all.
Nbr. 4 resume style and spirit of that time.
I’m totally torn between the #8 Moretti and the #10 Siata. Real sophistication in miniature.
#7 – Moretti 1500 cc – stunning shape & lines, some power (albeit, what appears to be the most power allowed for etceterini) and a car that is used, rather than just being a show car.
Jim Jenne’s Stanguelini get’s my vote, but it was a tough decision! I’m looking forward to seing them all in person next Sunday.
#4 gets my vote, for the purity in its lines, no headrest, no hood scoop, and gorgeous curves. It’s beautiful in its simplicity…
I know it isn’t the most spectacular one too choose from.
But my neighbor in The Haque in The Netherlands owned a
brand new Moretti like this but red. She had even “cobra-style” fake
chrome exhaust pipes on both sides.
Happy Motoring
Rob
It is very dificult …. the # 10 Siata it fit’s me!!!!
All of them lovely, but number three Bandini just edges it for me!.
Number 9…..I would love to drive it with my beautiful wife in the passenger seat.
By the smallest of margins, I voted for Jim Jenne’s Stanguellini. I’m looking forward to seeing them all on the show field. It’s a shame no Giaur or Taraschi will be there as well, its that personal connection thing!
Dear Pete,
Of course without a doubt number 3,the Bandini Saponetta 750.
This because I also owe a same car and if you expereince it you are amazed about the combination of engineering,shape and performance.
Lot’s of success with Veloce because it’s a wonderfull site(I am looking every week or more).
with best regards,Ton Ottevanger(owner of Saponetta 1000)
THE SAPONETTA #3. OBVIOUSLY THE BEAUTY OF THE BUNCH……………..
No. 2 Stanguellini Bialbero
I have seen this car and it is stunning. Stunning documentation and provenance as well.
Number #5 has been superbly restored and presented here – it has my vote.
Car #2 is by far the winner! The most awesome car I’ve ever seen, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind. It’s more like a piece of art than an automobile!!
#1, of course.
I’m from Chicago, and I vote Chicago style.
How rare is # 10. I would think that must be a 1 off body & would assume it was an 8V if it wasn’t called a 1400. Please tell me more….Was the body Stabilemente Farina ??
