When i was 21/22
I wandered into a classic car dealers shop. And there was a Fiat Dino for sale. A yellow one. With around 50K km. When I recall correctly they asked something in the neighborhood of NLG 22.000 for it.... (€ 10K)
Couldn't afford it back then, but in hindsight I should have ran to the first willing bank giving me a loan for it.
Sigh
OK...
The 33 is actually pretty hard to beat Wonderful picture of one of the last truly iconic Alfas...
Well...
Mechanically it is much more advanced, and has that lovely V8 that the Dino cannot quite match
Style wise they are daughters from the same mother.
But the fathers probably don\'t know each other ;-)
"Ah woe, ah me . . .
It's all relative . . . shame and scandal on the family" ;-) . . .
Beyond the beautiful bodywork..
...have a look at how the chassis was constructed. Two side tubes containing the fuel tanks connected to a cast magnesium front bulkhead. The 33 is truly wondrous.

Tssss... That is the easy way!
I much prefer Oscar Wilde: " I can't resist to temptation... "
Too beautiful...is it real? How to open that bonnet?
Is it good for ~6 ft drivers, always topless ) Rgds Raymond
The modern 8C borrows a lot from this Icon.
But... meh... the vintage and original is always better. Viva Alfa Romeo! ...
Wow!
What a beauty -- thanks for posting! $17,000 for a new Stradale in 1968 -- the most expensive car of its era. Worth maybe $10,000,000 today, per my extensive research -- Wikipedia ;-)
T33 Stradale
Has always been the prettiest car ever made to my eyes, simple wonderful Cheers Tim
