Description from the seller
Velox "Autobar" – Vintage 12V Electric Travel Coffee Maker from the 1970s – With Original Box and Accessories
Item Description
A splendid and rare vintage set "Autobar" produced by the renowned Italian company Velox (Ferrara, Italy), an icon of design and practical automotive use in the 1960s/70s. It is a 12-volt espresso coffee maker, specifically designed for in-car use, campers, caravans, or during trips.
This set represents a perfect example of Italian industrial modernism, characterized by the era’s bright orange color and a robust, compact construction.
Technical Details and Features:
Manufacturer: Velox (Patent Filed - Ferrara, Italy)
Model: Autobar (Catalog Art. N° 18)
Power: 12 Volts (operates via the car cigarette lighter socket)
Materials: 18/8 stainless steel for the endothemic boiler (with micro-perforated filters) and heat-resistant hard plastic for the orange components and accessories
Capacity: 2 cups
Set Contents (Complete)
The set includes:
• Velox central coffee pot in stainless steel and orange plastic
• Original power cord with cigarette lighter plug
• 2 coordinating orange plastic coffee cups
• 1 larger jug/measure with metal base and orange body
• 2 sugar/coffee canisters in transparent plastic with cap (one with original label "Zucchero")
• 2 stainless steel spoons
• Original cardboard box from the era
Item Condition
Item: Overall excellent aesthetic condition. The plastics are glossy and free of obvious cracks; the steel parts are bright and well preserved. Being a vintage item, it has not been electrically tested and is sold as a collectible/display piece (untested condition).
Box: The original packaging is present and is a great value-add for collectors. It shows normal aging signs, edge wear and some small tears or stains from years of storage, but the glossy graphics remain perfectly legible and visually striking.
