The car next to the D25 is an Alfa Romeo OSI Scarabeo, 1966, from the Arese Museum. I don’t know if it is the first or second unit. Giulia 1.6 engine rear-transverse mounted.
The second car is the Abarth Bertone streamlined 750 record car.
Car closer to the Lancia is the Alfa Romeo Scarabeo OSI 1966. Third car is the Fiat Abarth 750 Record 1956.
