The intention of the Iso Rivolta, in launching the "Grifo" project, was to create a car that was a middle ground between the huge American coupes and the streamlined European sports berlinette, managing to concentrate, without too many sacrifices or excesses, the comfort and reliability of one, with the elegance and performance of the other. The difficult job was entrusted, for the technical part, to Giotto Bizzarrini, a famous designer and former consultant for Alfa Romeo and Ferrari, supported by Giorgetto Giugiaro (working for Bertone) for the aesthetic part. The new model was ready in a few months, as it was decided to proceed by shortening the chassis of the "GT", also designed by Bizzarrini, and was presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1963, under the name "A 3 L Grifo" .

The Bizzarrini 5300 GT was presented in 1965 and remained in production until 1965, assembled in 133 examples. Giotto Bizzarrini had a dream (like so many Italian engineers in the '60s of the Italian economic boom) to create a sports car capable of competing with Ferrari. At the time (it was 1964) he was still working at the Iso Rivolta dealing with the development of the Iso Grifo. Not getting the approval of his project from the ISO Rivolta, Bizzarrini decided to start his own business and to develop the car himself. The 5300 GT was born, a car that combined elegant lines inspired by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Grifo A3C with a 5.388cc Chevrolet-derived V8 engine.

One of our readers recently asked us about Ferrari 288 GTO for sales (good luck). This is an impeccable example offered by Tom Hartley Jnr in UK with 7,776 Miles on the clock only. It was ordered new with extra optionals and it comes accompanied with the "Certificazione di Autenticità Ferrari Classiche" which confirms the car still retains its original chassis, body, engine and gearbox.

Can you imagine anything faster and, at the same time, more sophisticated and elegant than a 385 hp V12 "Verde Miura" Lamborghini Miura SV (in Italian SV means "Super Veloce" Super Fast)? Photographer: Erik Fuller Photography Source: flic.kr/s/aHsjFS95nE

Nobody would deny that the Alfa 33 Stradale is one of the best looking cars in the history of the automobile. We would like to add, the most beautiful. Too much ? Maybe. In these photos on the Como Lake, at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2018, winner of the "GOLDEN CUP VILLA D'ESTE", "BMW GROUP ITALIA TROPHY" and "ASI TROPHY". Easy.

The Alfa Romeo 33.2 was called Periscopica (periscopic) for the characteristic air intake system. Made his debut in competitions with the chassis #001 at the Belgian hillclimbing event at Fléron, with Teodoro Zeccoli winning. The same year participated with little success in the World Sportscar Championship, getting the best result at the 1000 km Nürburgring, a fifth place with Zeccoli and Roberto Bussinello.

The 151/3 was the latest reinterpretation of the Tipo 151 platform, presented in 1964 with radical changes in the chassis, mechanics and bodywork, while the engine remained unchanged. It was renamed 151/3 (Type 152 by some) and jokingly called the "racing van". Photographer: Dave Adams Source: flickr.com/photos/digitalslrphotos/
