Tipo was the race version of the car. Although this car is frequently called a Tipo, that appears to be incorrect. The internet isn't too clear on it.

"Tipo" is Italian for "type", so either "type 33" or "tipo 33" (if you're Italian or insufferably pedantic...or pretentious ;)would be correct. Honest.  :D

Absolutely!  There is a proliferation of "Tipo" in many Italian vehicles. It is the Stradale that is the important designation often designating a street version of a race car.  Ferrari still uses it to designate special versions and highlights it with a red, white and green stripe.

I knew this one, just left it too late to send in the answer!

It's a late one with the big vents behind the wheels.

So fame has eluded me this time:(

Well done guys!
