The Alfa Romeo Tipe 33TT12 (TT for Telaio Tubolare meaning tubular chassis, the 12 for 12-cylinder) was mostly used for development in the 1973 season, and took its first victory in 1974 at the Monza 1000km and finished second overall in the championship that year.
In 1975, the car took 7 wins from 8 races, and therefore took the honours in the 1975 World Championship for Makes.

Here is another garage shot, this time of the Paul Castaldini raced 1962 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Low Drag Coupe that appears to be a copy of the "49 FXN" car that features the long nose that was prototyped for Le Mans.
The unusual shade of green was eye catching under the garage lights, and makes a change from the silver of the FXN cars.

Bare metal bodywork is always a winner in my book, and this 1958 Lister Chevrolet Knobbly is right up there in my eyes. Another low down point of view shot along the flank, highlighting those beautiful curves.

I do not know the year of this particular Country Squire. Any guesses? I am not giving you much to go on!
This was the model that set me on my love of Ferrari - the 308 GTS. It was a beautiful piece of design by the famous Italian automobile designer, Pininfarina. This shape dates back to 1977, but this is the 1982 model. It is my latest die-cast 1/18th scale model by Norev.

ABOUT CAMILO PARDO
Born in New York city, Camilo moved to Detroit at the age of 10 and had by that age developed a fascination with 60s and 70s era sports cars and modern art. After graduating from Detroit’s prestigious design school Center for Creative Studies in 1985, Camilo was hired by Ford Design Center in Dearborn Michigan. His assignments included working in the Dearborn Advanced Studios, Ford of Europe- Torino, Italy Studio , and the Design Studios in Cologne Germany. After 15 years at Ford Motor Company, he took on what was for him the ultimate assignment... a state of the art re-design of the classic Ford GT race car. This project developed the 2002 Ford GT concept car.
As chief Designer of the Ford GT and the SVT Studio, Camilo’s team worked on the 2005 and 2006 production Ford GT . The GT became an instant success capturing the interest of car enthusiasts around the world.
At the end of the work day at Ford, Camilo continued to explore an additional avenues of art & design. With the integration of Design principles and the abstractions of Fine Art, Camilo explores alternative design solutions.
This work is created in his studios, located in the city of Detroit and Los Angeles. His studios has been the scene of more than a few of Detroit’s openings and receptions. For the last 15 years, his studio has hosted the Detroit Auto’s Designers’ Night. An internationally recognized event which is attended by top automotive personnel and designers from all over the world. The North American International Auto Show has included Designer’s Night as a recognized NAIAS event appearing in all NAIAS publications.
By evening, Camilo is a serious, multifaceted artist with incomparable creative energy. This creativity is evident in his large, brightly colored oil paintings on canvas. This includes a large production of Automotive Fine Art. The same quality of creativity reaches a line of fashion design, that he describes as advanced fashion concepts. These fashion pieces have been created for auto shows and runway exhibits. Camilo’s industrial design reaches into sculptural furniture design, that has made the rounds from main art galleries in Metro Detroit, Italy, Japan, and the Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York.
As a dedicated artist who sets no limits on his creative endeavors, Camilo has found that his outside artistic expressions further strengthen and complements his passion for automotive design.
