1934 Tatra T77
The Tatra T77 was the first production streamlined automobile, providing spacious and comfortable high speed transport at a time when good roads were just being developed. Cooper Technica is doing a full restoration.
1942 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Super Sport Pinin Farina Cabriolet
Alfa Romeo made 28 cars during WWII. Six of them were made for high officers of the German Army. This car, with a custom body by Pinin Farina, was made for Wolfram Von Richthofen, a Field Marshal of the Luftwaffe, and is the only known survivor of those six. After the war, the car competed in the 1948 Mille Miglia, finishing 3rd in class. Cooper Technica is currently restoring this car.
1948 Delahaye 135M Saoutchik Cabriolet
This Delahaye 135M, a touring Cabriolet, was built by one of the great coachbuilders, Jacques Saoutchik, in May 1948. The Delahaye features an unusual three-position Landau folding top, allowing a middle position (only the rear seats covered), and rear-hinged 'suicide' doors that incorporate the sweeping fender line. Cooper Technica is just beginning a ground-up restoration of this fine automobile.
1937 Delage D8-120 Aérosport Coupe
One of the finest coach-built streamlined automobiles ever designed, the Delage D8-120 Aérosport Coupe was introduced at the Paris Salon in 1936. Only twelve of these cars were made before production was halted by the war in 1939. This car, in a photograph taken at the 1937 Paris Salon, may have been owned by Standard Oil Heiress Millicent Rogers. Cooper Technica is in the process of completely restoring this car, and fully researching its provenance.
1962 Ferrari 250 GT Pinin Farina Cabriolet Series II details
Ferrari built 200 of the 250GTPF Cabriolet Series II models from 1959 -1962, featuring the new 128F V12 engine and disc brakes. The current owner ordered a complete restoration by Cooper Technica, with the body returned to its original silver-grey metallic paint.
1942 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Super Sport with original Cabriolet coachwork by Pinin Farina completed in 1947.
A young designer at Pinin Farina, Fedele Bianco, designed this innovative body integrating the fenders into a clean modern look for a wealthy industrialist, Arturo Fumagalli of Tirano, Italy. This car, along with the Cisitalia built by Pinin Farina at the same time, was very influential on post-war car design. Cooper Technica is in the process of a complete restoration of this car.
