Market commentary
Having one Alfa Tipo 33 in an auction is cause for celebration. RM had two including this delightful, pretty early car in short tail Daytona configuration. Its reasonably well document history is rare for a Tipo 33: Autodeltas records were about as well maintained as its cars. It should be a delight to drive (its road registered) and to show its mettle in any event for which its eligible. A million three is a lot for a postwar Alfa, but this cars history, performance and appearance put it on a very high shelf. Its worth every penny.
