Hi there I don't usually frequent this area of the forums so be gentle with me, had a recent trip to Italy and stumbled across this little lot in Florence not up on my Alfa's but might be of interest some rarities I understand


















enjoy

What a treat!

Wow that is lucky! Thank you. Great shots.

Are there any more pics of the red Tipo 33 stradale?

I'm sure you read the text on its stand, it's rather special!

Sorry only this one which is pretty similar to one of the other shots


To be honest I read all the descriptions and they were all special cars so I cant remember what it said about this one in particular. The Giulietta Spider Bertone stuck in my mind as being one of only two of the type, the one shown earlier, owned by AR the other is out there somewhere, I may have that wrong!


PS If you would like them I will email original jpeg files from the camera they are about 2.5MB each, PM me
regards John

Thanks, the pics are great, really nice angles.

The car was basically a Le Mans prototype with a pretty body, so no locks or interior, just a pure road racer! It weighs less than a s1 lotus elise, but with 240-50bhp! It was the fastest car in the world for a while, and the bhp/tonne is rather mental even today with 340bhp/tonne (a 458 italia is 377, 997 GT3 RS is 324 for reference)! It makes cars like the 2.7 RS seem mundane, and the F40 look fat.

That's a kind offer on the original pictures, but the one you posted are great as they are, I don't think Id benefit from the higher quality.

That has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made, stunning.

A bit more impressive than what I stumbled across last trip!



But they had all driven there!

Incredibile!

Nice pics OP.

Amazing how you can come across car events in Italy.

I came across a competitive Hillclimb ,sadly finished, on the way "home" from Imola.

But I took pics of a few cars not been loaded onto their trailers yet.
