Alfa Romeo Carabo,
late 1960's
Only 2 were ever
made of this prototype, based on a tipo 33 racing chassis.
As far as I know
they came in the colors metallic green with orange and
metallic purple
with yellow.
The green one
is on display in the Museo Alfa Romeo in Portello, Italy, the
other one was
(again, as far as I know !) sold to king Feisal of K.S.A.
Carabo means "beetle"
in Italian.
On the contrary
of what you would expect of such a futuristic looking car,
the interior is
rather conventional and kind of resembles that of a Giulia Super
(except that it
doesn't have a wooden steering wheel).
Hey, Alfisti out
