The first Tipo 33 had a simple chassis built around three large diameter tubes forming an \u201cH\u201d, with a spyder body. In 1967 Autodelta further developed the car into a coupe, and this new car was called the Tipo 33\/2. After it\u2019s debut at the March 1968 Daytona 24 Hours, the 33\/2 became known as the Alfa \u201cDaytona\u201d. The engine was an Alfa Romeo V8 with 1996 cm\u00b3 of displacement, Lucas Mark II mechanical fuel injection and DOHC, that produced 270 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/a-h\/alfa_t33b-2_40_02.jpg\" alt=\"33B\/2 \u201cDaytona\u201d\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Usually I say French cars are quirky, but Alfa deserves at least a B+ in the quirkiness category.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Le Mans in 1968, Alfa Romeo fitted the T33\/2 with a long-tail bodywork. They also used small fins near the trailing edge to add aerodynamic stability. That specific model was called the T33B\/2. All those modifications were to allow the car to reach 300 km\/h on the Mulsanne. Therefore, giving it a chance to beat the much larger cars such as the GT40. All in all, between the factory cars and privateers, there were six T33B\/2 at La Sarthe that year. The 33B\/2 &#8220;Daytona&#8221; #40 (chassis #75033-026) here came in 6th overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/zgroup\/alfas_01.jpg\" alt=\"33B\/2 \u201cDaytona\u201d\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Unfortunately, it was a long time since an Alfa came ahead of the pack.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1:43 there isn\u2019t much I can say about the car. It\u2019s the basic fantastic-all-around resin model that I usually see from the folks at Spark.
