Autodelta shop pictures
I am looking for pictures of the inside of the Autodelta shop. If anyone has any, would they be kind enough to post them.
Thank you in advance.

The book "Alleggerita" has the best Autodelta shop pictures I've seen.

Thank you Il Vecchio and alfacoine. I’ll try to pick up a copy of the T33 book but, Alleggerita is out of my league.

GTA JUNIOR,
I tried to scan the pictures from Alleggerita as best as I can. I don't know if this will help you, but others I'm sure will be interested to see the good ol days of Autodelta.

Try the "Carlo Chiti: SINFONIA RUGGENTE" (The Roaring sinfonia) by Oscar Orefici.

Some photos from a later period. From contemporary articles from visits to Autodelta. A friend of mine actually met the guy when he was manager of Motori Moderni. I unfortunately visited Autodelta a day he was out..my loss!

The last picture is a Alfa owners dream set up. Colli wagon and a 33 race car in tow.  I tried to meet with Sr. Chiti when I was on tour in Italy with Fred DiMatteo in 1977 but he wasn't around. I had some pictures of him taken at the Long Beach Grand Prix in the pits I wanted to give him. He was kind to sign them. I left one with Alfa Romeo and brought the other two back with me. Thank you for posting those pictures of Auto Delta. Looked like a great place to work with all that space and lifts.

That's seems material for a new thread to me

Hello members,
Colli or another coachbuilder? That seems material for a new thread to me.
'Het Klaverblaadje' which is the magazine of the Dutch Alfa Romeo Owners Club (SCARB) featured the Giulia wagon by Colli and by other coachbuilders in a very nice and extensive article a couple of issues ago.
A copy of that issue is probably still obtainable from SCARB for those who want to read all about this type. Picture courtesy of the SCARB.
Ciao, Olaf

You must definitely make an english version of this magazine!
How about more photos from Autodelta, I thought others would contribute also!
Here other memorabilia, the businesscard of the boss:

There does seem to be a shortage of good photos of the Autodelta operation and Tony Andriaensen seems to have collared the best for Allegerita however Gianni Chizzoli has a few splendid shots of TZs in his very personal history ''AUTODELTA and surroundings, facts,fantasies,frustrations,dreams known and unknown''(ISBN 88-456-0648-1).
Yep, that's the title! Italian and English text, sadly it leaves one wishing for more....
When I visited Autodelta in the '70s by then in Milan, I unfortunately had my parents waiting in the car outside so no opportunity to sneak behind the counter....
