Hello Aussie Alfisti.
I'm doing a research on the fabulous, but largely forgotten 33 Stradale, which just celebrated it's 50th anniversary on August 31st... This car is arguably one of the most beautiful automobile ever created, but a fact that many do not know is that it was the highest performance street car of that era: it could sprint to 100 kph in 5 seconds and reach 1km in 24 seconds, quicker than the Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari Daytona!
The Stradale i'm particularly interested in is the prototype #2 (VIN: 105.33.112) that now resides at the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese, Italy. This car is somewhat controversial because many say it is a replica built by Alfa Romeo in the 1970's after they sold the original prototype to a Japanese individual. I on the other hand am trying to prove the contrary based on period pictures. And one of these pictures shows what looks like prototype #2 in the Alec Mildren (then Alfa Romeo Australian distributor) display at the 1968 Sydney Motor Show. Pictures can definitely help determine that prototype #2 was already built by 1968 and is therefore genuine.
I'm attaching the link to the only photo of the car currently available. Would anyone have been to the 1968 show and have other pictures of this car?
I'm also researching the only production Stradale that came to the southern hemisphere, VIN: 750.33.107 that belonged to a New Zealander named Bill Clark. He had the car for sale in 2007 in the magazine "Classic & Sports Car" (Attached pic). Would anyone have a picture and/or know the whereabouts of this car?
Thanks very much in Advance. Any help would be very much appreciated!
PS: If you have any questions on the Stradale, feel free to ask ;-)
