1967 Maserati Mistral 4000 Alloy Coupe Project Offered After Years of Disassembly

Aluminum-Bodied Maserati Mistral 4000 Project: Years of Disassembly, Finally Moving

A rare alloy Mistral emerges from long-term dormancy—partial teardown, original mechanical components intact, and the kind of restoration puzzle that separates committed builders from weekend warriors. These Italian grand tourers are experiencing genuine market momentum as collectors recognize the Mistral's engineering sophistication and driving character.

Mistral values are climbing because enthusiasts finally understand these aren't just pretty Italians—they're properly engineered drivers that don't require a Ferrari budget to own.

Alfa Romeo bespoke arm reveals wild Giulia Quadrifoglio Luna Rossa

Alfa's Bottegafuoriserie Built the Giulia QV We Actually Want—Luna Rossa Shows What Bespoke Division Gets Right

Alfa Romeo's new custom shop dropped a Quadrifoglio with serious aero work: low-drag bodykit, split rear wing, and enough attention to detail that it feels less like marketing exercise and more like someone actually cared. This is what happens when you let engineers play instead of product planners.

2002 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa at No Reserve

2002 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa: When Italian Charm Met Paddle Shifters

This Grigio Touring Metallizzato example pairs Maserati's 4.2L V8 with the Cambiocorsa six-speed automated transaxle—the gearbox that made the Spyder actually fun to row. Navy leather interior, retractable soft top, 18" wheels. No reserve on BaT means someone's getting a complicated mistress at a fair price.

The Spyder's finally shedding its 'ignored middle child' reputation. Prices have stabilized, which means you're not gambling on depreciation anymore—just on whether Italian electrics will cooperate.

Debate settled: We name every car maker's best model of all time

Every manufacturer's peak, ranked—and yes, the arguments are worse than you'd think

Autocar's staff went to war over which model defined each marque. From the MG ZT-T 260's sleeper credibility to whether a 911 variant beats the 356, they're parsing the real difference between good and generational. The gap between what journalists remember and what the market actually values keeps widening.

Ranking 'best ever' by brand is content comfort food—safe, divisive, and missing the point. The real story isn't the pick, it's that half these manufacturers peaked 15 years ago and everyone knows it.
