My brother in CA has a buddy who collects and re-sells exotics. This is one of them... peruse his website at your own peril :laugh:

Very nice but it would be a sod with the missus demanding I take my shoes of before getting in, (If I could get in that is)

Imagine taking that through SVA!! sorry IVA or whatever it is now! Where's the radio? Mind you I'd prefer to spend my wonga on that than on a one bed apartment on Tiger Bay!

Hehe - thanks Rick, that looks very nice. T70 Mk3B. If I was going to be really picky, I'd opt for the Mk3A - less aerodynamically efficient, but better looking I think :clapping:

The engineering on this car is just soooooo impressive. I spent a lot of time poring over old photos of half assembled T70s while I was drawing up the chassis for the Green Machine, but this is just in a different league. Particularly impressed by the suspension and knock-on wheel hubs...

Oohhhh... what is that yellow one? It looks like it has an Alfa badge on it.

You beat me to it Letterman7 - that yellow thing is stunning..... It does look like an Alfa badge.

Wow!! Amazing!! And that car certainly has a Alfa badge, but looks like a Manta. I just had a bit of a look for Alfa concept cars, and older Alfas from when Alfa meant sex on wheels, but couldn't find anything.

Maybe it's an Alfa powered Manta? Like some people put VW badges on their Nova/Eureka/Sterling?

It's the Pininfarina Alfa P33 from 1969, legend has it a rebadged/rechassis'd/repainted Ferrari P5 Pininfarina prototype from the year before;

I was utterly, utterly, gutted when I found out this and loads of other historic prototypes were at Goodwood (found out on the Sunday morning!). If I had known even 24 hours earlier I would have driven the 400 miles and slept in the car. I do hope they return. :(

:clapping: Nice find! Much better without the funky headlights across the front...

You're telling me Mark!

I was gobsmacked to find all those Alfas, straight out of the museum at Arese, less than a week after the centenary celebrations in Milan - Imagine my delight when I found not only the T33 Carabo making its second visit to Goodwood, but the Pininfarina P33, Iguana and the prototype Stradale as well!

I've just got my pictures back from the developers - I spent virtually the whole day with these fabulous cars, out in the open, where they belong!

I knew the Marcos Mantis XP was going to be there, and there were some other nice machines about, but the T33 concepts did it for me!

I'll be posting the pictures up soon...

That's what I was most gutted about, yes you can see them at Arese (and I planned on doing that ASAP) but it's rare to see them al fresco.

And the Pinin

And the Nazca

And the Mantis

And I missed it
