Anyone has a clue when and where these pictures could have been taken?

Dear AlfaRonny,

Tried to review the photos of the T33/3s, but they don't come up. Can you post them again?

Thanks,

Your wish is my command. Your pictures...

A short note to call your attention on a 1970 strange habit of Carlo Chiti: the cars are individually called after star names, on the front fenders.

You can read definitely "VEGA" on the third one, the other ones are a bit blurred, but with the list at hand, it should be possible to guess their name...

Car no. 31 is "Rigel" (left foot on the Orion constellation).

Among other names were Altair, Mizar, Algol and Proctor.

Does anyone have a note of the chassis numbers?

My records show that

#31 was driven by Nino Vacarella and Rolf Stommellen, DNF'd with fuel system issues on lap 27. qualified 10th (2:39:85)
#32 was driven by DeAdamich, Pescarolo , came in 3rd twelve laps behind the winner after qualifing 11th (2:40:17).
#33 was driven by Galli and Stommelen, came 2nd, 1st in P3.0, 3 laps behind winner after qualifing 5th (2:34:99).

Nino Vaccarella also drove #32 (as per Time and Two Seats, no chassis nos. though)

Thank you williboy and AlfaRonny.

A bit off post but does anyone know of any books that cover the history of the tipo 33 in hill climbs during the period 1967 to 1977? I have some history gleaned from Autocourse, period magazines, web etc. but have failed to come up with any definitive history. Any pointers greatfully appreciated.

Regards,
Jeff.

The only existing book on the 33s is the one written by Ed McDonough, and it's a good one. Unfortunately, specifically for your focus on hillclimbs, it's not complete, as it doesn't cover the 1967 Group 7 special, lightweight 33. Yet other interesting features can be found in, such as the hillclimb entered 33 Stradales.

So there's no definitive source on the topic, but some interesting stuff could be found in a now clsoed French magazine, Automobile Historique, whose number 6, if I recall well, had a nice central feature on the 33. Good reference.

Thank you gtv2000. Not a magazine I've read but will look at sourcing it. I have the Ed McDonough book and yes I agree it's a good one.

Regards,
Jeff.
