| 1950 158 Alfetta (Monaco GP, 1950 - WINNER): The first Monaco GP race held under the new F1 regulations was in 1950 and the inaugural winner was Juan Manuel Fangio in this Alfa Romeo 158. It was also the first victory for Fangio in a World Championship event. Fangio had joined the Alfa Romeo team for 1950 and drove alongside Nino Farina who narrowly beat Fangio to win the 1950 World Championship of Drivers. Both winning three races, but a retirement in Italy cost Fangio the Championship. The 158 Alfetta won every F1 Championship race in 1950. Model by SMTS 1/43 |
1950 158 Alfetta (Monaco GP, 1950 - WINNER): While the 1.5L supercharged straight-eight cylinder 158 Alfetta dominated F1 in 1950, it wasn't without a bit of luck. Fangio qualified for the pole position of the 1950 Monaco GP, with teammate Nino Farina alongside him. Fangio got away quickly and was leading the race and was just through Tabac Corner when a large wave from the Monaco harbor washed over the track, causing Farina and eight other drivers to spin and crash out of the race. Fangio's closest competition, Jose Froilan Gonzalez, now second in his Maserati spun and crashed on the spot allowing Fangio to cruise to his first F1 win. Model by SMTS 1/43 |
1950 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d'Oro: The Freccia d'Oro (golden arrow)is the last of the Alfa Romeo handbuilt cars and it marked for them a departure from coach-built cars to internally designed and assembled automobiles at Alfa Romeo's Portello factory. The Freccia d'Oro was also the last of the line of 6C 2500 motorcars first introduced in 1937. Built between 1947-1952, these cars were a triumph for the marque as it rebuilt itself from the ashes of WWII. Approximately 680 of these large, heavy, comfortable touring cars were built during that period. Model by BBR 1/43 |
1950 6C 2500 Sport Freccia d'Oro: Comfort, prestige and exclusivity were offered to the owner of a Freccia d'Oro. For a heavy steel bodied car, they handled well thanks to independent rear suspension, large drum brakes and a 2.4L DOHC six-cylinder engine that produced 90 HP and offered a top speed of 100 MPH (155KPH). The long doors allowed easy and access and the back seat offered enough headroom so that a gentleman would not have to remove his hat. The large sunroof offered plenty of fresh air during quick jaunts around the countryside or touring across the continent in style. Model by BBR 1/43 |

| 1950 158 Alfetta (British GP, 1950 - WINNER): Giuseppe 'Nino' Farina piloted this car to victory at the 1950 GP of Britain on his way to becoming the first Drivers World Champion in the new Formula One. The 158 Alfetta was powered by a super-charged, eight-cylinder-in-line 1.5-litre engine that pumped out around 370 bhp. These cars dominated F1 racing after the war and with Juan Manuel Fangio joining the Alfa team in 1950, they made a formidible pair few could match.. Model by ALTAYA (PW) 1/43 |
1950 158 Alfetta (British GP, 1950 - WINNER): The Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta was one of the most successful race cars built. Combined with its successor the 159, Alfa's took 47 wins of the 54 races entered! This is Nino Farina's Brtish GP winning 158 from 1950. Farina won three races in 1950 as did his teammate Fangio. However, Farina had more points with fewer retirements, taking the first World Drivers Championship. The 158 won all F1 races entered in 1950. Model by ALTAYA (PW) 1/43 |
1951 159M Alfetta (Spanish GP, 1951 - WINNER): Juan Manuel Fangio won the 1951 World Drivers Championship, his first of five. Fangio won Championships driving for Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Mercedes and Maserati. Considering that when he came to Grand Prix racing at the age of 37 in 1948, one can only speculate how many other championship titles may have been his had war not interrupted racing for so long. Model by MINICHAMPS 1/43 |
1951 159M Alfetta (WORLD CHAMPION 1951): The great Fangio took first place at 1951 Spanish GP, the last race for the 159, beating Ascari in his Ferrari for the World Championship. The 159 was the successor to the 158 and continued Alfa's F1 domination. Having won the race and the championship with a thirteen-year old car stretched to its utter limits, Alfa Romeo rightfully decided to call it quits. Model by MEBETOYS 1/24 |

| 1951 159M Alfetta (Spanish GP, 1951 - WINNER): I built this model for a friends collection, replicating the 1951 Spanish GP winner at the hands of Juan Manuel Fangio. I was going for the "as raced" look and think that these photos show a patena of a Grand Prix car of the day that had seen a lot of racing action. Model by REVIVAL 1/20 |

| 1949 6C 2500 Super Sport Pinin Farina Cabriolet: Alfa Romeo produced the 6C 2500 from 1938-1952 in several variations. The top of the line was the 6C 2500 Super Sport Pinin Farina Cabriolet, which at the time was one of the most expensive cars in the world. The last Alfa model made before WWII, it was superseded by the 1900 in 1950, which was a close of an era for Alfa. The aluminum bodied cabriolets made by Pinin Farina were powered by a 2443cc DOHC six-cylinder engine, with twin Weber carburetors which produced 110bhp and could propel the car along at over 100 mph. 25-30 Pinin Farina Cabriolets were built. A legendary continental touring car. Model by BBR 1/43 |
1950 6C 2500 Villa d'Este: Introduced in 1938, the 2500 (2443 cc) was the last 6C road car and was produced again after the war until 1952. The classic Villa d'Este version of the 6C 2500 introduced in 1949 was named after its triumph in the concours d'elegance of the same name and is a perfect example of how the lines of a truly successful car are timeless. Villa d'Este was Alfa's last hand built model, only 36 examples were made. Model by METRO 1/43 |
1951 1900 TI (Giro d'Italia, 1954): The 1900 was offered in two door or four door models, with a new 1884 cc, 90 bhp, 4 cylinder twin cam engine. It was spacious and simple, yet quick and sporty. The 1900TI with a more powerful 100 bhp engine, had bigger valves, compression ratio was higher and it had double carburetor and a top speed of 106 mph. The slogan Alfa used when selling it was "The family car that wins races", not-so-subtly alluding to the car's success in the Targa Florio and other competitions, such as the Giro d'Italia where Bruno Martignoni and Maria Favero drove to 5th overall and 1st in class.. Model by M4 1/43 |
1953 C52 Disco Volante: The aerodynamic Disco Volante, or "flying saucer" was a revolutionary styling exercise by Touring that they built both spyder and coupe versions built upon the 1900 mechanicals, but using a tubular space frame chassis. A car was entered at Le Mans for Juan Manuel Fangio and Froilan Gonzales to drive, but the Alfa entry never showed up, with no explanation ever given. Subsequently, none of the three Disco Volantes were ever raced Model by M4 1/43 |

| Alfa Romeo Factory Team - Le Mans 1953: Alfa Romeo, having won the F1 World Championship in 1950 & 51, turned its attention to Sportscar racing. They had developed the 6C 3000 in 1950 as a 3.0L race car which was a continuation of the pre-war 6C 1750 & 6C 2500 SS. Using that car as a basis, In 1952, Alfa enlarged the engine capacity to 3.5L and had Colli create four coupe and two spyder bodied cars to contest long distance events such as the Mille Miglia and Le Mans. Juan Manuel Fangio who led most of the race and despite broken steering, placed second at the Mille Miglia in 1953 in one of the spyders. All four coupes were sent to Le Mans, where three competed in the race and one was a reserve car. Their purpose complete, after Le Mans Alfa Romeo withdrew from motorsports and most of the cars were sold. All of the coupes were rebodied and used for development and/or show car work. Model by GILA MODELLI & PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
Alfa Romeo Factory Team - Le Mans 1953: The 6C 3000 CM (Competizione Maggioratta) had a DOHC engine with an aluminum head. It could be tuned to produce 275 bhp, but ran at Le Mans at 270 bhp maximum power output. With six Weber carbs, it couldn't have been a fuel thrifty engine, but since speed was what was needed, its 154 mph top-speed out classed its contemporary competition from Jaguar and Ferrari. Power was channeled through a five-speed gear box and the car was hauled down at the end of the Mulsanne Straight by big drum brakes. With three fast cars, Alfa had a great shot at Le Mans victory. Despite being the fastest cars in the race, all three failed to finish. Model by GILA MODELLI & PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Le Mans 1953): Chassis #1361.00123 arrived at Le Mans in 1953, having been rebuilt after its retiremet due to an accident on the Mille Miglia. It was assigned to Alfa Corse team driver Consalvo Sanesi and Piero Carini, a noted Italian driver for Osca and Fiat, as well as privately entered Ferrari's. Sanesi had set the fastest race lap before his car succumbed to a broken gearbox in the 12th hour after 125 laps. The pair had been running as high as third before their race ended. After Le Mans, Alfa Romeo retained this car, rebodied it as a spyder ad today sits in the ALFA Romeo museum. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Le Mans 1953): Chassis 1361.00125 was sold to Jo Bonnier after Le Mans and rebodied as a coupe by Borano, only to later be converted to a spyder. Raced by Bonnier, it is thought the coupe was converted to a spyder for better cockpit cooling. At Le Mans in 1953, the Master, Juan Manuel Fangio was behind the wheel, along with Onofre Marimon, Fangio's countryman. He never got a turn behind the wheel during the race though as in the third hour after 22 laps, the engine burnt a piston and retired. No lover of Le Mans, it is uncertain if Fangio felt disappointment, or relief. The car has subsequently been rebodied back to a copy of its original Colli coupe body and is used extensively in premier vintage racing events. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |

| 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Le Mans 1953): Chassis 1361.00126 had a German connection during the race at Le Mans. Alfred Neubauer had "lent" his Mercedes Benz team drivers Karl Kling and Fritz Riess to Alfa for the race. Neubauer was a noted presence in the Alfa pits during the race. Taking everything in for a future Mercedes bid at Le Mans? While running 3rd and content to let the Jaguar/Ferrari duel ahead of them play out, the car's rear suspension and axle failed just after 3 a.m. and were the last of the Alfa Romeo's running. After Le Mans, this car was also rebodied as a spyder and gifted to Argentine dictator Juan Peron. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Le Mans 1953: Chassis 1361.00128 was likely the last of the 6C 3000 CM's built. At Le Mans, it was taken along as a reserve car and assigned to Italian drivers Antonio Stagnoli and Pietro Palmieri. While it didn't make the show as one of the seventy entries vying for sixty-two spots, it was a valuable source of spares if needed and to provide additional feedback to the other drivers during practice. After Le Mans, this car was retained by Alfa and rebodied by Pininfarina as a coupe. It is famously known as the Superflow for the 1954 Turnin Motor Show and then rebodied again as the Superflow II for Paris in 1956, which it remains today. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |

| 1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Mille Miglia, 1953): Juan Manuel Fangio was paired with Italian driver Giulio Sala in the Mille Miglia, who had three prior Mille Miglias under his belt, co-driving Alfa Romeos and a Ferrari. One of the four coupes built, this car (Ch. #00124 ?) was one of three entered by Alfa Romeo on the Mille Miglia in 1953 and the racing debut of the 6C 3000CM. Fangio led the Mille Miglia until hitting a road marker and breaking his suspension, ultimately finishing 2nd in a miraculous drive. Model by TRON 1/43 |
1953 Alfa Romeo 6C/3000 CM (Mille Miglia, 1953): The Alfas proved to be fast, leading the Mille Miglia until one car crashed on the leg to Rome, Karl Kling inheriting the lead, then crashing his 6C 3000CM. This put Fangio in the lead. He would have won, but fading brakes caused him to hit a road side marker, which damaged his steering. The winning Ferrari 340 MM Spyder passed him for the lead, but despite damage to his car, Fangio fought on. A testament to his skill, It was only discovered after the race that he only had one wheel steering the car. Incredible! Model by SPARK 1/43 |

| 1952 Alfa Romeo 900 Biscara: The models from GILA Modelli are the work of Roberto Gilardoni, who from the late 1990's up until his untimely death in 2012 made exquisite 1/43 scale models and kits of Italian trucks and buses. Limited edition, high-end models of great detail, GILA models are much sought after and continue to command high prices. This is a model I have lusted after for a long time and was finally able to acquire one. With it came a set of the Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM cars from Le Mans in 1953. It is one of the "holy grails" for my collection. Model by GILA MODELLI & PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
Alfa Romeo Factory Team - Le Mans 1953: I am continuing to research GILA Modelli, trying to uncover more information about the company and its creator. This is #21 of 275 pieces, however, being produced shortly before Gillardoni's death, it's uncertain how many were made. It's believed Tron (IV Models too?) may have bought the molds and/or finished incomplete GILA models or kits and then sold them under their brand. The Tron produced models have a different base and are not numbered editions. Otherwise, they appear to be identical. Tron has also sold some other GILA produced models under their brand (i.e. Ferrari's Alfa Romeo 800 transporter). This transporter no longer shows in their online catalog. Model by GILA MODELLI & PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
Alfa Romeo Factory Team - Le Mans 1953: This was advertised as a "set" from GILA, but I don't think the cars were built by GILA. While great quality builds of Provence Moulage models, they don't appear to be of the same level of quality. Definitely older kits and builds, they needed (and still do) some further TLC/restoration which they will get in time. With Spark set to release these cars soon (finally) it may be tempting to replace them, but feel they belong with the transporter. I've made the "spares" loads from pieces that came with the transporter, as well as from my own spares box. At some point I will probably redo the tarping, but for now…. Model by GILA MODELLI & PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1952 Alfa Romeo 900 Biscara: The Alfa Romeo 900 Biscara is a heavy duty truck produced by Alfa from 1947 to 1954. Powered by a 9.5L six-cylinder diesel engine producing 128 hp. It is almost identical to the pre-war 800 it replaced, but with a larger engine for increased payload capacity. It was a popular heavy truck with long distance carriers, the military and even as the basis for bus bodies. The transporter used by Alfa Romeo was bodied by Bartoletti, noted for producing the Ferrari and Maserati transporters of the same era. Loading of the truck was accomplished by using ramps to the top deck. It could easily carry four race cars to Le Mans, as well as the teams spares, wheels, air cylinders, etc., although all were exposed to the elements, with no workshop for mechanics to use out of the weather.

| 1954 Alfa Romeo-Abarth 2000 Ghia Coupe: This beautiful coupe is the result of a collaboration between an emerging designer, an established design house, specialist tuner and a classic Italian automaker. In 1954, Ghia stylist Gian Palo Boano penned the lines for two berlinettas based on Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint chassis and drive trains. This coupe which was assembled by Abarth, also received mechanical tuning by the Turin based firm. Abarth increased the displacement of the DOHC four-cylinder engine to 2.0L, obtaining 133hp and a top speed of 125 mph for the three door coupe. The Abarth Coupe was one of six cars displayed on the Ghia stand at the 1954 Turin Auto Show and later again in Paris. Model by KESS 1/43 |
1954 Alfa Romeo-Abarth 2000 Ghia Coupe: The Abarth 2000 Coupe was one of six cars displayed on the Ghia stand at the 1954 Turin Auto Show and later again in Paris. The car is distinctive in its two-tone paint scheme, something that sets it apart from the very similar Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS also penned by Boano. Shortly after this car was completed, Boano joined his father's carrozzeria, where the pair would collaborate on the design of the Ferrari 250 GT. |
1954 1900 TI (1954 Carrera Panamericana): Driven by Sergio Mantovani and Bruno Chiappa, this 1900 placed 18th overall on the 1954 Carrera Panamericana road race. Alfa Romeo entered this car as a works entry, and closely supported a brace of 1900's in the race, competing for the European Touringt Class of 1900 cc, in which this car placed 2nd to another Alfa. Model by BRUMM 1/43 |
1954 1900 SS Zagato (1955 Mille Miglia): Giovanni Rota and Luigi Martelli drove this car in the 1955 Mille Miglia, finishing 82nd overall, 23rd in class.. A sister car finished 7th in class, beaten by both Mercedes 300 SL and Aston Martin DB2's. Probably the most sought after versions of the 1900 are the Zagato bodied Super Sprints. These were raced with great success against the two litre Ferraris and Lancias of the day.Rota drove the car on the Mille Miglia again in 1956 (44th) and 1957 (DNF.) Model by METRO 1/43 |

| 1954 B.A.T. 7 (Glendale SCCA, 1955): Franco Scaglione at Bertone designed three Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica (BAT) concept cars (BAT 5, BAT 7 & BAT 9)for Alfa Romeo to test low aerodynamic drag theories. Built over three years, they were each displayed at the Turin Auto Show in 1953, 1954 and 1955 and all had jet age styling influences. Built in 1954, the BAT 7 was the second of the three cars built. Model by BIZARRE 1/43 |
1954 B.A.T. 7 (Glendale SCCA, 1955): The BAT 7 was based on an Alfa Romeo 1900 chassis with a 2.0L four-cyl. engine of 90 hp and capable of 125 mph. The car was raced once by Ray McLaughlin in a SCCA National race at Glendale in 1955. He finished 9th overall and 5th in class. McLaughlin had cut part of the rear wings off for greater visibility. Model by BIZARRE 1/43 |
1955 B.A.T. 9: BAT 9 was the final one of the three BAT concept cars built as a collaboration between Alfa Romeo and Bertone. Like its predecessors, it was first presented at the Turin Auto Show in 1955. The Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica (BAT) cars were built on Alfa Romeo's 1900 Sprint chassis and powered by its 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Model by BIZARRE 1/43 |
1955 B.A.T. 9: The 2.0L DOHC four-cylinder engine used in BAT 9 produced 155 HP and its aerodynamic shape gave it a top speed of 125 mph. Unlike the first two BAT cars, the BAT 9 did not have fins as large as its sister cars, along with a front end which hints strongly at its Alfa heritage. Beautiful cars from the early age of jets, rockets and outer space! Model by BIZARRE 1/43 |

| 1955 Ermini-Alfa 357 Scaglietti Barchetta: Pasquale Ermini was one of the many small car builders and tuners that existed in Italy just after WWII. Prior to the war, Ermini had been a successful race car driver and mechanic. The cars that Ermini built were very successful on Italian racetracks and hill climbs, taking class wins at the Mille Miglia as an example of their success. Over the course of twelve years, Ermini built thirty-seven cars. Most were powered by 1000cc Fiat engines, which featured Ermini DOHC heads, and were built on a Gilco designed tubular steel chassis. Perhaps his most beautiful car was the Scaglietti bodied 357, which featured 1.1L, 1.5L and a proposed 2.0L engine. A car that drew the ire of Enzo Ferrari as a serious rival. Model by JOLLY MODEL 1/43 |
1955 Ermini-Alfa 357 Scaglietti Barchetta: With the 357 (which resembles a Ferrari 750 Monza), Ferrari saw a threat to his own cars and ordered Scaglietti to stop working on Erminis cars after only three had been built in 1955. Two others were completed to the original design by another coachbuilder not as indebted as Scaglietti was to Ferrari. This car is one of the three Scaglietti cars and originally had a 1.5L Ermini engine. It is believed its first owner Enrico Manzini drove it on the 1955 Mille Miglia, but failed to finish. He sold the car to its next owner Tony Pompeo, who exported it to the USA and subsequently sold it to SCCA racer Jim Orr. Between Orr and its next two owners it was raced on the West Coast of the US, being wrecked in 1957, badly damaging the alloy bodywork. Model by JOLLY MODEL 1/43 |
1955 Ermini-Alfa 357 Scaglietti Barchetta: Repair of the car was entrusted to Bill Devin of Devin sports car fame. Devin had used this car as the template for his fiberglass Devin sports racer while owned by Jim Orr. While being repaired in 1957, it had a Devin SS body installed and the engine converted to a Alfa Romeo 2.0L four from a Alfa Romeo 1900. It was also given a DeDion rear end with inboard drum brakes. In the late 1980’s, the car was restored and given a replica of its original alloy body. It was raced for several years in vintage events, including the Monterey Historics in 1993, before being sold to a collector in Columbia, who subsequently raced it there. It has now been brought back to the USA, ready for its next chapter |

| 1955 1900 SS Zagato (SSZ): Carrozzeria Zagato saw the potential of using the Alfa Romeo 1900 introduced in 1950, as the basis for a lightweight, aerodynamic GT racing car. In 1952, they introduced the SS Zagato (SSZ) with an aluminium body and Zagato's trademark double bubble roof. Utilizing the 115 bhp 1900 SS 2.0L four-cyl. DOHC engine, the small coupe was capable of 130 mph. A total of 39 examples were built between 1952-1955, with most of the cars used by privateers in competition as they were intended. Model by BBR 1/43 |
1955 1900 SS Zagato (SSZ): Built with racing in mind, the 1900 SSZ featured irregularly in competition. Six cars competed on the 1955 Mille Miglia, where they fought for class honors with the Mercedes 300 SL's. One finished 19th overall. Also that year, Jo Bonnier won the Grand Touring class at the Swedish GP. Active participation in European races and hill climbs continued through 1958, with appearances again at the Mille Miglia in 1956 & 57 and a class win at the 12 Hours of Reims in 1957. A competitive GT in the 2.0L classes. Model by BBR 1/43 |

| 1956 1900C Super Sprint Coupe: Alfa Romeo updated the 1900 Series in 1955 and the models became known as Super Sprints. Touring built the factory specified coupe bodies, with Zagato and others making a few specialized examples. The Touring bodywork was revised for the shorter chassis and they produced this lovely three-window coupe. Model by GAMMA KAXXON 1/43 |
1956 1900C Super Sprint Coupe: The engine displacement was inctreased to 2.0L (1975 cc), given a higher compression ratio and twin Weber carbs producing fuel to the four-cylinder DOHC engine with four valves per cylinder. This gave the car 115bhp and a top speed of 115 mph. Perfect for taking on a modern retro rallye, or spending a sunny afternoon quayside! Model by GAMMA KAXXON 1/43 |
1956 Giulietta 750 Spider Veloce (1956 Mille Miglia): The 1900 based Giulietta Spider with bodywork by Pininfarina, was introduced in mid-1955. Following the aftermath of the Le Mans tragedy in 1955, regulations favored smaller displacement cars on the Mille Miglia in 1956. Alfa Romeo entered this 2.0L Spider for Consalvo Sanesi, a long-time Alfa factory race and test driver. During the race the gearbox seized, and the car rolled several times. Spent 40 days in hospital recovering from his injuries but recovered and was active in racing until 1964. Model by METRO 1/43 |
1957 Giulietta Sprint Speciale (SS) (Targa Florio, 1960): The first Giulietta model was the Giulietta Sprint, introduced in late 1954. The Giuliettas used an Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine of 1290 cc straight-4, with a light alloy cylinder block and an alloy cylinder head with twin overhead camshafts. The engine of the SS produced a power output of 99 BPH and top speed of 120 MPH. Vincenzo Riolo and Alessandro Federico drove this car to 13th overall and 1st in clsas on the Targa Florio in 1960. Model by SOLIDO 1/43 |

 |
| 1957 Giulietta Berlina TI: The Giulietta used a dual overhead cam, four cylinder engine of 1290cc capacity. On the TI this engine was tuned so that the car could reach nearly 100mph. Lucky was the salesman that had this for his company car, selling Abarth exhaust systems to the specialist garages in Italy. Nice company car! Model by RIO 1/43 |
1957 1900 Berlina TI (Geneva Rally, 1957 - WINNER): Alfa Romeo built the 1900 in two (Sprint) and four door (Berlina) variants from 1950-1959. Powered by a 1.9L twin cam four-cylinder engine, the TI version of the 1900 had twin carburetors, larger valves and a higher compression ratio, producing 100 bhp. Alfa advertised these cars as "The Family Car That Wins Races", based on the success of these cars on the Targa Florio and international rally competition. This car placed first on the Geneva Rally in 1957, part of the European Rally Championship and was driven by Italians Leto Massimo and Lero Dore. The pair had also placed 6th on the Acropolis Rally that year. Model by M4 1/43 |
1957 Giulietta Sprint Veloce: The Sprint Veloce was offered as a more luxurious Giulietta. Powered by a 1.3L DOHC 4-cyl. engine producing 90 BHP, the Veloce was capable of a top speed of 115 mph. The Sprint Veloce was in production from 1957-1962. Model by M4 1/43 |

1962 2600 Sprint (Bologna-della Raticosa, 1962): In 1962 Alfa Romeo introduced a new six cylinder coupe based on the new 2600 Saloon and Spider, the 2600 Sprint. Powering the new coupe was Alfa Romeo's new alloy 2584cc, twin overhead cam, six cylinder unit. The 2.6 litre engine came with triple carburetors and produced over 145bhp and could do up to 130 mph. This car was driven by Moreno Balidi to a class win at the famous Bologna-della Raticosa hill climb. Not too bad for a big heavy car that was never designed for competition. Model by M4 1/43 |
1962 2600 Spider (Cabriolet): The 2600 was created as the flagship of the Alfa Romeo range and debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1962. Although not the great seller Alfa had hoped for, they kept it in production until 1968, by which time 2,255 2600 Spiders had been made. It was the last Alfa Romeo to utilize the 145 bhp, 2.6L DOHC straight-six engine. The weight of the engine increased the car's weight, which affected its handling, making it suited more as a touring car than sports car. Alfa sold 9,100 Berlinas (including 2600 Sprints).

1962 2600 Spider (Cabriolet): The 2600 used updated styling from its predecessor, the 2000. Bodies were made by Touring. Besides performance and handling down from its predecessor, the increased cost of the 2600 also had an impact on its sales. Alfa's introduction of the four-cylinder Giulietta made a more attractive option for those looking for a more sporting Alfa Romeo. While its styling may have been outdated, one looks at these cars now through a different, more nostalgic lens. Cruising top down on the sunny Riviera makes a great mental picture from times past.

1967 Giulia TZ2 : The duo of Serge Trosch and Teddy Pilette drove the Racing Team VDS TZ2 at the Nürburgring 1000 KMS in late May 1967. The race was a sweeping victory for Porsche, running away with the first four places with the 910. Unlike some other rounds of the International Championship of Makes that year, the prototypes for this race were divided into four classes, with the VDS running in the 1.6L class. They qualified 19th and finished 15th overall and 1st in class (only class finisher). The team was slowed by overheating issues, otherwise they would have easily finished in the top ten. The race was one of attrition, with the Mirage. Chaparral Lola and Ford GT's exited the seven hour race over the 14.2 mile course. Of the 69 cars entered, 32 finished. Earlier in the month, the VDS duo finished 9th at the Spa 1000 KMS, third in the prototype class. The Nürburgring race appears to have been the last for this TZ2 in VDS colors after having run in three 1000 KMS races in 1967. The team moved on to the Alfa Romeo T33/2 in 1968. Model by BEST 1/43 |

De Adamich in the sister car was the fastest in class in qualifying, with this car driven by Roberto Bussinello and Nanni Galli qualifying 21st, almost eleven seconds down to the sister Autodelta car. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1967 T33 Fleron (Sebring 1967): Alfa came to Sebring unprepared for the hot weather, which was hotter than during their testing at Monza. The heat caused the ignition parts to fail and this car would retire on Lap 36 due to ignition failure. The Prototype 2000 class was won by a Porsche 910 (3rd overall), which the Alfas had proven to be faster than in practice and qualifying, if they could just have had more testing to improve reliability. The T33's 2.0L V8 (270 hp) would be the basis for the T33/2 the following year and much greater results. Model by PROVENCE MOULAGE 1/43 |
1968 T33/2 Daytona (Daytona 1968): Mario Andretti and Lucien Bianchi drove to 6th place finish at 1968 Daytona in Chassis #75033-15.

| 1967 T33 Coda Lunga (Le Mans Test, 1967: Alfa Romeo contracted Autodelta run by former Ferrari engineer Carlo Chitti to develop a Group 6 2.0L prototype sports car, which they introduced in early 1967. The fuel injected V8 powered (256 bhp) tubular framed car was clad in a shapely fiberglass body dominated by the large snorkel like airbox. At the Le Mans Test weekend, this car, one of the three T33's entered, arrived with new long-tail (Coda Lunga) rear body work which eliminated the large airbox for aerodynamic efficiency. Andre de Adamich qualified the car in 10th place, fastest in its class. It would finish 10th overall and first in class. Model by SPARK 1/43 |
1967 T33 Coda Lunga (Le Mans Test, 1967: Despite promising results at the Nurburgring 1000 Km, Autodelta decided not to enter the T33 at the Le Mans in 1967, believing the suspension, engine and gearbox were not up to the 24-hour race. This did not stop development of the T33 and as the season went on, Autodelta entered long-tail versions of the car in both road circuit races and hill climbs. The T33 won the Monte Pellegrino Hill Climb and at the Mugello and Vallennga road circuits. Under constant bodywork revision, in its final race in 1967, the T33 looked very much like the T33/2 which would replace it in 1968. Model by SPARK 1/43 |

| 1968 T33/2 Spyder (Targa Florio 1969): Autodelta entered three T33/2 cars for the 1969 Targa Florio, two cars in the S5.0 class with 2.0L V8 engines and this 2.5L car which was entered into P3.0, against the might of the factory Porsches. Backing up the lone factory Alfa in the prototype class was a privately entered 2.0L car in P2.0. Alfa had elected not to run the newer T33/3 cars, the Targa being better suited for the older cars. In practice, one of the S5.0 crashed and could not make the start. This car piloted by Nino Vaccarella and Andrea de Adamich was sixth fastest qualifier. Model by BEST 1/43 |
1968 T33/2 Spyder (Targa Florio 1969): Waived off the start first, Vaccarella had conceded the lead to Elford's Porsche by half distance of the first lap. A hot contest for position ensued, with Giunti in the other Autodelta car was taken out of the race while in second, by Elford coming out of the pits a few laps later. This car the remaining Autodelta entry, had its engine which had been sounding progressively worse, expire on the 7th of the 10 laps of the 45-mile course while in second place. Vaccarella and de Adamich would end up being classified 39th. Model by BEST 1/43 |
1968 T33/2 Spyder (Targa Florio 1969): Porsche made an all-out effort for the 1969 Targa Florio, entering six 908's. Dr. Ferry Porsche making his first visit to the Targa was given the honor of waiving off the first car, a Porsche 907. However, due to a mix-up (intentional or not) the Vaccarella T33/2 was waived off first. It was Porsche's day however, taking the first four places after the T33/2 retired. The private T33/2 entry finished 5th overall and first in class, preserving some pride for the shield and serpent. Model by BEST 1/43 |

| 1968 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1968): Coda Lunga means "long tail" and like other makes, Alfa discovered that a longer tail was beneficial at high speed circuits such as Le Mans. Ignazio Giunti and Giovanni 'Nanni' Galli drove to 4th place overall and 1st in the 2.0L prototype class at Le Mans in 1968. This is one of the four Autodelta entries at Le Mans in 1968. Model by METRO 1/43 |
1968 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1968): Serge Trosch and Freiherr Karl von Wendt drove this entry for VDS racing at Le Mans in 1968, one of two cars entered by VDS as back-up to the factory Autodelta cars. They retired after two hours due to engine failure. In competition trim the quad-cam 2.0L V8 was good for at least 270 bhp and 186 mph. Model by M4 1/43 |
1968 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1968): Nino Vaccarella and Giancarlo Baghetti drove one of four Autodelta factory entry at Le Mans in 1968. They were eliminated in the 12th hour due to fuel pump failure after having run as high as seventh place overall. Autodelta, the motorsports arm on Alfa Romeo, originally was designed to used a 2.5L fuel-injected, aluminum V8 capable of producing 260bhp in the T33B. Carlo Chitti saw an opportunity in the 2.0L class, so for Le Mans, the engine size was reduced to 2.0L, but the power increased to 270 bhp. Model by BEST 1/43 |
1968 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1968): Autodelta, under the leadership of Carlo Chitti, began a program to build 2.0L Group 6 prototypes in 1967. This culminated in Autodelta entering four T33B/2's at Le Mans in 1968. These cars had titanium frames and had been significantly lightened and improved. While a 2.5L V8 was available, Chitti saw an opportunity to run at Le Mans with the 2.0L V8. Driven by Carlo Facetti and Spartaco Dini, this car, delayed early by wet electrics finished 5th overall and second in class behind its sister car. Model by SPARK 1/43 |

1968 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1968): Count Rudi van der Straten's Racing Team VDS entered two T33B's at Le Mans in 1968. Both cars were prepared by Autodelta and shared the new uprated engines, six speed gearbox and titanium chassis as the works car. Like the other VDS entry, this one driven by Teddy Pilette and Rob Slotemaker suffered engine failure, ending their race in the 9th hour. Model by BEST 1/43 |
1969 T33B/2 LM (Le Mans 1969): It was not a good year at Le Mans for Alfa Romeo in 1969. Autodelta withdrew their race entries after Lucien Bianchi who had won Le Mans in 1968 was killed in practice. That left the two Alfa's T33B/2's run by the Belgian V.D.S. Racing Team to carry the flag. Neither car received the 3.0L V8 Alfa had promised to deliver; and instead one had the 2.5L V8 with longtail body work, and this car iwith a standard body had the 2.0L V8. This car driven by Gustave Gosselin and Claude Burgoigne led the 2.0L class until lap 76, when Gosselin missed the Ford Chicane and put the car out of the race just before midnight. Model by SPARK 1/43 |
1969 T33B/2 LM Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1969): With no factory team presence at Le Mans in 1969, Racing Team VDS ran their two T33/B2's from the prior year, with factory support by Autodelta. Seasoned Alfa driver Teddy Pilette was joined by Rob Slotemaker in this car, which they qualified 23rd, four places ahead of their teammates. They gained ten places in the first hour and were doing well until lap 37 in the 5th hour, when the right rear tire delaminated on the Mulsanne Straight, rupturing an oil line and subsequently blowing the engine. Its sister car would go out of the race due to an accident before midnight. It was the swan song for the T33/2 at Le Mans. The T33/3 was launched in 1969 with its advancements in chassis design and larger engine. Alfa and Autodelta would be back at Le Mans in 1970, to make an all out assault for overall victory.

Alfa's fortunes would improve for 1971. Model by M4 1/43 |
1970 T33/3 Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1970): The T33/3 made its debut at the 1969 12 Hours of Sebring. The V8 engine was enlarged from the T33/2 to 3.0L, producing 400 hp, which put the 33/3 in the same class as the Porsche 908 and the Ferrari 312P. Teodoro Zeccoli and Carlo Facetti drove this car in the 1970 Le Mans but DNF'd due to an accident. Model by TSM 1/43 |

 |
| 1970 T33/3 Coda Lunga (Le Mans 1970): The fourth Autodelta team car at Le Mans in 1970, unfortunately for drivers Toine Hezemans and Maston Gregory, they would be the first car out of the race in the second hour due to a holed piston. Four DNF's, a disappointing end to Alfa's 1970 effort. Model by M4 1/43 |
1971 T33/3 (Targa Florio 1971): Andrea de Adamich and Gijs van Lennep took 2nd place in the 1971 Targa Florio behind another Autodelta team car. This is the short tailed version of the 33/3, used when aerodynamics for the long straights at Le Mans were not needed. Model by M4 1/43 |

Porsche was there in force with both the Gulf and Martini teams fielding 917's and Ferrari was there with their new 312P. The fastest car in practice was Roger Penske's Ferrari 512M driven by Donohue/Hobbs, which was the car favored to win and led the opening laps. Disaster struck early for Gulf and Penske as their two cars tangled and both lost considerable time in the pits. Model by TSM MODEL 1/43 |
1971 T33/3 (Sebring 1971): Taking over the Sebring lead after the Ferrari and Gulf 917 tangled was Elford's Martini 917, which then tangled with a Lola and gave the Andretti/Ickx 312P the lead until the gearbox broke in the 5th hour. That gave this Alfa driven by Nanni Gali and Rolf Stommelen the lead, followed closely in second by its sister car. In the 6th hour however, Elford had caught up in the 917 and claimed the lead for good. Starting fifth, this car hung onto 2nd place and the sister car of deAdamich and Pescarolo finished 3rd.

| 1968 Molivio - Alfa Romeo: 3-point hydroplane racing was big in Italy in the 60's and 70's and has made a resurgence in recent years as old boats have been restored and put back on the water to race in vintage events. There were many small boat makers at the time and among them was Molivio and its master boat builder Livion Molinari; who built approximately 39 boats. Molinari is a famous name in Italian boat racing, with at least four Molinari boat builders, including Renato Molinari who was three times Power Boat World Champion. The 3-point boats contained a variety of power from Alfa Romeo, BMW, Fiat, Ferrari, Lancia, Maserati and American power from Chevy and Chrysler as well. Autodelta converted and tuned Alfa Romeo engines for marine use. This boat, built in 1968 started out with a 1.3L Alfa Giuletta engine under its original pilot Enzo Neri. Up graded to a 2.5L Alfa L6, the same engine in the Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint. It sold at auction in 2016 for almost 41,000 Euro and is piloted today in vintage events by Enrico Penno.
