1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona

Alfa Romeo returned to racing as a factory team in the mid-'60s, competing in the World Sports Car Championship's Sports Prototype category. The Tipo 33 was the car, built by recently-purchased subsidiary Autodelta. Former Alfa and Ferrari engineer Carlo Chiti helped design a powerful 2.0-liter V8 making 270 horsepower, mounted in a purpose-built chassis. The car shown here is a Tipo 33/2, the next evolution of the Tipo 33 that debuted the year before. Two versions of the coupe bodywork were made: A longer 'Le Mans' version and the shorter 'Daytona' version, which the car here wears. The car was wrecked in testing and missed the 1968 24 Hours of Daytona, scoring a class win in the Targa Florio, and a first in class and fourth overall at Le Mans. The car was retired after a few races in 1969, and was on display for 35 years at in the Musée de l'Automobile in Mougins, France. Restored over two years between 1997 and 1999, the car is now for sale.
