The seller offers for sale a rare Alfa Romeo Alfacabrio 33S, a road-approved prototype from 1993. This unique vehicle was developed as an experimental project to create a convertible with four-wheel drive. The base car was a 33 4permanent, modified into an open-top concept. The initiative was backed by the Italian automotive magazine Auto Oggi, which supported its production. The most distinctive feature is its iridescent green paint, which was specially formulated for this car and cannot be replicated due to lost data on its composition and application technique.

The Alfacabrio 33S is powered by a 1.7L four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. It comes equipped with power steering, ABS, disc brakes, and air conditioning (though the latter is not operational). The cabin features Sparco seats and a Nardi steering wheel, rims, and gear knob, enhancing the sporty appeal.

The car’s bodywork is in its original paint and is in good condition, with some minor marks present. The soft top is manually operable as the electric system does not fit properly into its housing. The interior remains clean with slight signs of wear. Mechanically, the vehicle is in working order with no required repairs. The car drives, brakes, and shifts properly.

The Alfa Romeo 33 series was introduced in 1983 as a replacement for the Alfasud, offering a front-wheel-drive layout and boxer engines. Throughout its production, the 33 was known for its lively handling and engaging driving experience. The permanent four-wheel-drive system was a rare addition, primarily reserved for the 33 4×4 models. This Alfacabrio 33S represents a one-off attempt to combine that system with an open-top configuration. Given Alfa Romeo’s history of limited-run models and prototype experimentation, this vehicle holds significant historical interest.

In terms of imperfections, the car has minor scratches and marks on the bodywork. The soft top shows small signs of wear and is manually operated due to improper electric fitting. The air conditioning does not work. Otherwise, there are no major technical or structural concerns noted.
