What car is this?

I know the main one is an Alfa 33.
What is the classic in the background? If I'm correct its not an Alfa as I don't see the cloverleaf on the body.

The car behind the Alfa 33 is a Stanguellini Formula Junior. They were effective for the first year or so of Fjr. but were quickly eclipsed by the rear engine cars from Cooper and Lotus.

Wow! Thanks Kurz! I've never even heard of them. No wonder google couldn't find anything close! Thanks! Now to find a model?

You won't find a model of it that I am aware of. I have seen a couple Stanguellini sports cars in 1/43 but nothing Formula Junior. I have some pictures and a cut away drawing if you want then.

Pirata12,
This should get you started... http://www.stanguellini.it/
I'll scan what I have and send you a PM with the info. What scale would you be doing? Kurz.
