It was the car with which Jim Clark won his second and last world title in 1965 Formula 1. At the wheel of the Lotus 33, the Scottish ace scored five victories and won for the first time also on Nürburgring circuit, also winning the Syracuse Grand Prix not valid for the Championship. This single-seater, designed by the brilliant Colin Chapman, debuted in '64 and he was the heir of the Lotus 25 who had introduced the concept of the monocoque. It was designed to fit new larger Dunlop tires. Distinguished by its cigar-shape and small size, the Lotus 33 employed the Coventry-Climax 8-cylinder V engine of 1.5 liters, capable of developing a power of just under 220 hp compared to a total weight of 455 kg. Equipped with a ZF 5-speed manual transmission, the Lotus 33 was also used at the beginning of '66, when, however, it adopted a Climax V8 engine 2.000 cm³, before being definitively replaced by the 43.

Brumm was founded by Reno Tattarletti, former Rio sales director, with Emilio Molteni and Virginio Bianchi in Como, in 1972. The company name comes from a model of carriage (from "Brougham") widely used in Milan in Nineteenth century. Brumm originally made 1:43 scale models of horse-drawn carriages. In the mid-1970s, steam-powered vehicle models went into production, and in 1977, classic car models. Car models, mostly sports and racing cars, along with some small Fiats, soon became the company's most important and successful product line. Since the mid-1980s Brumm has regularly produced limited edition models in special and promotional liveries. Proudly continuing to produce in Italy, Brumm is today very active, with a very rich catalog that offers updated variants of already known moulds. Completely new molds are nowadays rare, such as the Fiat Panda II Series, which was long overdue.
