Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Daytona 

😊 I was very happy when a few years ago at a classic car market, where you could find everything, my then 10-year-old son asked me to buy the 1:18 model of the 33 Daytona

You just visit the Museo Storico in Arese near Milano. It's a must for any Alfisto 😉👍

In front of the gearbox is the panel of the various controls, including the cigarette lighter. Higher I believe is for ventilation

@@studiocalder818 The lever next to the steering wheel. It’s in a vertical orientation. I wondered if it’s for steering wheel adjustment or sway bar. I don’t remember the 33 race car having one. It’s not on all the Stradale’s.

​@@kennethhancock2433 I may be late. However, this Stradale, the one the Museo Storico is in possession of, is chassis number AR750.33.112, one of the two four lights chassis, usually called the "Prototipo" 33 Stradale, along with the other chassis AR105.33.01 (later rebranded to AR750.33.01), the first Stradale ever produced that currently resides in an Osaka museum. They were never street-legal Stradales since the four lights design (doppia parabola) was too close to the ground for registration, so they've never been driven on open roads, and their chassis is slightly shorter, one of the reasons why Chiti thought of using this very Stradale for racing (using a street version of a race car for racing, only the Italians could, I love it). The Prototipos also have magnesium wheels (bronze color). As a result, much is different from the twin lights street-legal Stradales (parabola singola), including the interior design, which I find a little more pleasing in design on the Prototipo. Contrarily to what @studiocalder said, the panel in front of the gear lever doesnt include any ventilation (would be superficial in such a car) nor any cigarette lighter but a total of 7 simple commands including 2 for wipers (upper knob and top-right switch), 1 for the horn (top left switch), 1 for blinkers (middle switch), 1 for the lights (bottom left) and 2 for the fuel pumps (center bottom and right switches). Though it is written Luci (lights) above the wipers knob so its function may not be so straightforward. In any case, this control panel doesnt feature any choke, which is why I THINK (emphasis on the think) the aluminium, vertical, large lever behind the steering wheel may be an adjustable choke with open being all the way up and closed all the way down. Now this isnt based on any source unlike what I've said above which is factual so don't quote me on that, and yes it could be a steering wheel adjustment for all that we know but, considering the Protipo cars were never allowed to be driven on open roads, I doubt this would be included. Taking into account the spartan controls and also simply the lack of a choke on the control panel despite the age of the car, it makes sense. Cheers from a french Alfisti.

Ferrari too Like Lotus took them from Alfa You may not know it was common. To make certain details needed large costs then
