Please note that Gooding Christie's has been notified that, contrary to the information published in Peter Collins and Ed McDonough’s reference work, Alfa Romeo Tipo 33: The Development & Racing History, while Teo Zeccoli’s notes confirm that chassis 75080019 tested for the Targa Florio, it may not have contested the actual event and therefore may not be the 2nd place finisher as stated in the published catalogue.
