Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale

[Du1point8]

The one for 200k is not even close to what it should look like and I really cant see how they can ask for that much.

Coys sold it for "Anyway this ball achingly exciting project of a lifetime fetched £353.5k" - https://www.racecar.com/news/80010/historic-and-ma...

Real cars (just 18) go for 10M.

That's a different one, more accurate and has bits of an original engine, details here - https://www.coys.co.uk/cars/1967-alfa-tipo-33-stra...

Keey, for how much did it sell?

I saw a real one in the flesh back in 1978 at the now disbanded Banham Motor Museum in Norfolk when I was 18. The impression it left me has never gone away, it was and still is the most beautiful car I haver seen. The then owner, Lord Cranworth paid £7,500 for it ! I believe this actual car now resides in the USA

They had one at the Design museum in London for a few months back in 1991 (Jesus, 30 years ago!). I can still remember it: it was displayed on an incline so you could also appreciate the beautiful shape from above. Agree that it’s the best looking car ever.

I know I’m on my own here, but I don’t share the love. The way the side window curls into the roof spoils it for me.

You're not on your own. I can't quite explain why I don't really like it, and there are some absolutely gorgeous elements, but somehow the proportions seem a bit off and when viewed as a whole it has some ungainly aspects to my eyes.

I still would, though, and it would be a boring old world if we all liked the same stuff.

I love the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, almost perfect.

but to be honest, I love the Stradale 2.0 even more, sadly they only made one and sadly not really a great engine, well a nice engine but no V8

anyhow, I mean this one, to me one of the best looking car ever.

I think the Diva is absolutely perfect from the rear and side, but loses it with the contrived grill arrangement. Bit like a Mito!

The 33 is just at home in an art gallery as on a road, the thing is beautiful.

Noting the comment about re 10mil, has anyone actually ever seen an original sell or even be advertised, remember looking a few months back but struggled to find much on the value of these

[dinkel]

They are sold, just as TZ2 cars. But not out in the open.

Yup - It's a shame that Alfa couldn't have made the 4C more like the Diva - the 4C looks great from the front,
but is so 'dumpy' in comparison to the Diva from the side.

I'm not keen on the 33 Stradale, but that one is almost perfect; it's just the spotty headlights that spoil it slightly for me. Easily sorted.

another one in the making, looks like a work of art... the price will probably also?

Hope Alfa haven’t been taking notice of the recent court case won by JLR!
