Lets have all with Alfa Romeo Corse/Spa/Autodelta in transporters............
Simon Moore's 8C 2300 book (published in 2000 and still available from Parkside Publications) conatins 5 pictures on 4 pages that show transporters. All of them are credited to and copyrighted by the "Spitzler & Zagari" collection, which the book describes as a "collection of photos recently purchased from Franco Zagari by Matt Spitzley."

Page 51 shows "2111001 nestled in the lower level of the Scuderia Ferrari transporter. A 6C1750 occupies the upper rack."

Page 383 shows a Ferrari service truck in the background of a 8C2300 Monza "being prepared for some additional testing after the Parma-Poggio Hillclimb in June 1933."

Page 583 shows the Scuderia Ferrari cars and a transporter lined up for the 1933 Mille Miglia.

Page 610 shows 2 pictures. The legend reads: "We end the chapter on the Scuderia Ferrari cars with these photos of the Scuderia's fleet of support vehicles. The photo above shows that Ferrari had a broad array of sponsors, but apparently divided loyalties between tyre manufacturers! The first truck in the line-up was used to support the team's motorcycle racing activities. Compare this photo with the one on page 583. The truck in the picture on the right [meaning th elower picture] was designed to carry two cars, one above the other (see page 51). The "I" beneath the Modenese license plate indicates the truck was used to go to international events. (c) Zagari & Spitzley."
