1967 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Periscopica "Fléron" at Imola Circuit - Marco Cajani & Scuderia del Portello

The Alfa Romeo you see is the 1967 Tipo 33 Periscopica "Fléron" brought to the Imola circuit by Marco Cajani, president of the Scuderia del Portello. Built only in 5 or 6 units, this is chassis 001 and is characterized by the box-type air intake that reaches the engine compartment from the roof. Hence the name Periscopica. Tipo 33 made its debut in competitions at Fléron Hillclimb, in Belgium near Liège, on March 12, 1967, and won the race led by Teodoro Zeccoli, the Autodelta test driver. The same year, brought to the track by Nanni Galli, won the Palermo-Monte Pellegrino Hillclimb. Also noteworthy is the fifth place at the 1000 km of the Nürburgring with the crew Teodoro Zeccoli/Roberto Bussinello. The Tipo 33 is very advanced in the design has an aeronautical-inspired chassis whose central structure formed by large Peraluman tubes arranged in an asymmetrical H that include the petrol tanks. The frame also has a magnesium alloy cage for the front suspension, radiators, steering and pedals. Another boxed sheet metal element supports the rear suspension and the engine-gearbox unit. The power unit is placed longitudinally in a central/rear position. We, therefore, find a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that develops 273 hp (201 kW) at 9,600 rpm driven by a six-speed gearbox plus reverse. The bodywork made of synthetic resin and fibreglass is very light, 55Kg. The total weight of the car is only 600 kg; the minimum permitted value of the regulation. We have to thank Marco Cajani and the Scuderia del Portello for kindness towards us.
