Yes you are right with the level of spec, 4 speakers, wooden wheel ect, it s badged up Torismo. The colour is the rarest thing about it, vertually no 33's in this country were blue, there was an Alfa speaciallist in Birmingham called Mario Diotti (or something like that) who used to import Guliettas, he said in order to get 1 in blue you had to order a 1.8 turbo model, it would arrive in this country without the turbo fitted & without all it's import paperwork, then you would have to send it back to Italy to have the turbo fitted before they would complete all the paperwork! but only on the blue ones??? vary strange, a similar story with the blue 75's too.
This is one of 5 blue 33's to arrive in this country, i love it. |

Hi, beautiful and elegant this 33.
I'm not sure but It seams a rare version of '93
(the one with 3 bolts anterior strut suspension
and better quality plastic materials on the interior,
that resist more to sun irradiation without to fade)
that in Italy was called 'Absolute' and may be in England
was called 'Turismo' (if I read right the sticker on your photo)
That particular blue was one of the typical colors of that version,
In practice it was a 1.7 i.e. full optional (clima, check control, four speakers)
with wooden gear knob and steering wheel (I think it was standard
size 38 cm and not 36 cm like the one of the Q4 but was nice).
In Italy usually was without the rear wing, may be optional,
you can see some images on internet searching 33 absolute.
Very nice catch! |

I'll try to put some better pics on that better show the colour. If you want to see it Ian then be quick as I've already sold it, new owner is picking it up Wed. Lee I really want to keep it as its so rare but I can't coz of space. My son prefers it to my 155! (I think that's a good thing). |

They are 17", not deep dish but look like it a bit. I'm going to get the spokes of the chrome wheels currently on the 155 painted black and leave the dish chrome, i just cant fully get used to the full chrome wheel look, soooo used to seeing the car with black ones. |

Hee hee hee, i couldn't resist taking a pic of 3 sportwagons when i had them, the 156 i sold that day, the 33 s3 sw with the private plate belongs to Tim in london, i was fitting an engine in it for him & getting the bodywork sorted after he side swiped a wall (notice the damage down the o/s), and the s2 sw at the front was 1 i was stripping at the time. All good fun. |

Ian you are sooooo right, i noticed a spec of dust on it the other morning so it certainly is in need of a full valet. |

The sport wagon is under the sheet cos it's so rough he's too embarrased for anyone to see it. |

No space in the garage for your sportswagon (if that's your sportswagon)? |

I know Wayne very well, he did all the bodywork on this 75, he also supplied the brembos & wheels. He is a bloody good guy, although a slow worker. If you know him well Pat you can remind him he still owes me a new 70mm socket for these wheels.
His red 75 is amazing, it's a 3.5 with more mods than you can list. |
