Hidden away

On my usual 'groundhog day' morning wander to the day job, I caught a glimpse of the $5 million powerball poster for tomorrow night.  Of course this meant a million (well, 5 million) reasons to fire up the old classic driver to spend some imaginary winnings.

I found this hidden amongst the section titled "Alfa 33 1980's saloon NOT sports prototype"

I am just beginning my 33 education and must say this coupe is stunning- one of 20 built apparently.

Could go on and post several hundred links, but for those who appreciate some other idiosyncratic Italian racers, this looked compelling:

The story of Bonetto's 1952 Targa Florio victory in an Aurelia speaks volumes of Lancia's engineering genius in those days.  I wish the D50 GP car had more of a chance to shine.

Yeah, driving to work wouldn't be so bad if you were doing it in that 33.

Ah your both dreamin    Mind you, if the big one fell into your lap, what a dream you could surely live

Dreaming is all we have sometimes!  Got paid last night and already all gone until next month...solid work (wedding coming up).

The poseurs were out at lunch on Collins St- Audi R8, Gallardo, and 2 F430 coupe's..so pedestrian

Today, I want an 8C 2900 B (Mille Miglia history favoured).  Anyone got something that fits the bill?  Will accept 1:43 scale!

Would you settle for this 8C 2300 or the 250F?...they already are/were in Victoria...

The 8C is an Argentine built replica. The Clive Smith 250F is a Cameron Millar replica and is on the way to the UK for sale.

I could live with such replicas, for they look and sound like the real thing

Weren't the CM 250F's made with the blessing of Maserati anyway?  9 were built in total, I think (no access to reference books at the moment).

Besides one of them, I'd also take the Lancia D50 replica made by Jim Stokes or a Crosthwaite & Gardiner Auto-Union.  Cheers

According to the book titled Maserati 250F by David McKinney there were ten, Cameron Millar cars, CM1-CM10. Plus chassis numbers 2522 and 2511. CM 10 is a Piccolo type and owned by Clive Smith it was built by Hall & Fowler for Cameron Millar.
