This book focuses exclusively on the development of the Tipo 33 and the motorsport activities of the car during 1967. It was a long held belief that there was only scarce documentation available concerning Autodelta, the motorsport company. With the help of Dr. Marco Fazio we were able to unearth various diverse records from the Alfa Romeo archives which contained detailed reports of the race activities of Autodelta. With such records to hand we were able to build an complete picture, free of any doubt, of the cars that participated in races during 1967 in the works team. In addition to the racing participation of the Tipo 33 we have also covered aspects of the Tipo 33 Stradale and the related Alfa Romeo OSI Scarabeo. Work on a second book covereing the 1968 racing season is currently under way and is planned for release in 2019.

In 1963 the first section of Alfa Romeo's new production and assembly plant in Arese became operational. From then on the bodies of both the saloon and the coupé of the Tipo 105 would be produced there. Final assembly of the cars would also be carried out in Arese, although the engine and various other mechanical components were still made in the old works in Portello at that time. Production of these parts would be moved to Arese over the following years as shop floor space was completed and made available. Fortunately over the years much of the production process of the various Tipo 105 models was photographed. This is a book for the enthusiast who is interested in seeing how car components and Tipo 105 cars were produced, a model which still today is considered to have played an important role in Alfa Romeo's enviable reputation. The photographs in this book, for the most part published for the very first time, were taken in Portello and Arese between the years 1963 and 1972 and document the production of the Tipo 105 models at the works.

In 1968, Porsche celebrated its first Monte Carlo Rally victory, marking a significant milestone in its motorsport history. The journey began in 1952 when Porsche first entered the rally, but due to unique regulations that included various handicaps, their teams often finished in the middle of the pack. It wasn't until 1956 that Porsche achieved its first class win, followed by more victories in 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1967. A pivotal change in 1968 saw the Automobile-Club de Monaco eliminate handicaps, allowing the fastest teams to compete for overall wins. Vic Elford and David Stone seized this opportunity, securing Porsche's first overall victory. The success continued with wins in 1969 and 1970, but a long hiatus followed after Porsche withdrew its official teams from motorsport in 1971. It wasn't until 1978 that Porsche returned to the top, with a win by privateers Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Vincent Laverne in a Porsche 911. The subsequent years saw class wins in 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. This book, presented in three languages (French, English, and German), features photographs of every Porsche team that made its mark in the Monte Carlo Rally from 1952 to 1982.
