Here's a picture of J.C. Andruet in the '75 Giro d'Italia with his 33TT3 V8 "Stradale"

Thanks for the nice pic. Is it one from Auto hebdo?
I miss the relevant issue, while having an almost complete collection...

No, it comes from AutoRetro nr 211.
It's the second part of an article on the AR 33.
Don't have the first part.
I buy AutoHebdo also since 1976 starting with nr 3. I started buying them to learn French, and I'm still learning...
My wife found it to much "rubbish" in the house so they're all gone now.
Only cut out the AR-pics and articles about touring cars.

Autosprint in its Giro d'Italia coverage has the following information on this 33:
It was put together by Autodelta and was based on the Championship winning 33tt12. The frame was modified in the sides, to allow "a different position of the fuel tanks". The engine was a Montreal V8 with 4valve heads as fitted to the 33-3 of Brescia Corse. Lucas injection,400bhp at 8500 revs. Wheelbase 2370mm due to the use of the shorter engine and a gearbox behind the rear axle. Engine didnt run well duing most of the event.
