Sereníssima V8 1968 – This interesting unique car was built for Count Volpi, an rich italian and sports car racing enthusiast. He created the Scuderia Sereníssima that raced Ferraris and Maseratis in early 1960's. In this case, he put an american V8 in italian body.
This car only appeard in one or two minor racing events. I have a very unnacurate Politoys model of it, and I predict that it will be an epic task to do a proper recreation of the real car.
Alfa Romeo 33/3 – 1969 – The natural evolution of the 33/2 model of the two previous years. This is a very beautiful car, even more beautiful and elegant in the closed/coupe version.
The spyder version didn't succeed, and Lucein Bianchi died in one of those during 1969 LeMans practice/qualifying.
As for the coupe, it only appeard in a couple of minor non-championship events, raced with success by Nino Vacarella. I dont know if any one of those still exists, even in Alfa Romeo museum.
And also the also rare 33/4 “Tasman” that looks a lot like a Ferrari 512.
Does any of you members have any of these in 1/43 scale?
