Vintage Racecar’s European Editor Ed McDonough and photographer Peter Collins, co-authors of the new Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 book, were presented with an award for the book on March 4 by Scuderia del Portello, the historic racing division of Alfa Romeo. At an awards ceremony at the Alfa Romeo Museum at Arese, Italy, the glass trophies were presented to the VRJ pair by Nino Vaccarella and Nanni Galli, both former Autodelta Tipo 33 drivers in the ’60s and ’70s.
Also on hand for the awards presentation to Scuderia del Portello’s winning 2005 drivers were a number of Alfa Romeo senior officers and former F1 driver Clay Regazzoni, also an ex-Tipo 33 pilot.
