Reward Offered As Rare Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale Goes Missing
by AutoExpert | 24 February, 2026
This is the kind of story that sounds unreal, but it is very real. One of the 33 brand-new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale cars has seemingly disappeared from Italy, and now prosecutors are involved. We are talking about a modern revival of one of the most iconic Italian supercars ever made.
Only 33 were ever built, and each is valued at around 30 million euros. Even so, one of them was reportedly sold for just 10 euros. Yes, ten. That shockingly small figure is now at the center of a serious investigation.

According to reports from Campania, the previous owner, described as a well-known French collector, allegedly signed the sale documents while under emotional pressure. His family now says those papers should not be considered valid. They claim he was in a vulnerable state when the agreement was made.
What makes this even stranger is what happened next. After the transfer, a newly created company reportedly took ownership of the car. It was then deregistered, the license plates were declared lost, and the vehicle was moved out of Italy. Once a car leaves its home country, tracing it becomes far more complicated, especially when paperwork is in question.

Now prosecutors in Milan are investigating possible crimes, including extortion and forged documents. The legal teams representing the heirs, Angelo and Sergio Pisani, along with Francesco Sacchetti, argue that the speed of the transfer and export raises serious concerns. So the obvious question comes up. Is it illegal to sell a 30 million euro supercar for 10 euros?
In theory, people can agree to sell property for any price. But if there was fraud or falsified documentation involved, that changes everything. That is exactly what investigators are trying to determine.

To help recover the car, the family has announced a reward of 100,000 euros for information leading to its location. With only 33 built, this is not the kind of machine that blends in quietly. Whether it shows up at a private event, hidden inside a collection, or somewhere unexpected, it would be hard to mistake it for anything else.
For now, the mystery remains. Somewhere out there is one of the rarest modern Italian supercars ever made, and nobody seems quite sure how it changed hands so quietly.
