Alfa expert David Owen delivers the history and culture of this coveted marque, discussion of its models and designers, plus driving impressions, quotes from road test, technical specs, and advice on buying and restoring. Includes highlights of the classic 1500, 1750, and 1900 in their tourer, saloon, Sport, Super Sport, and Gransport forms, plus the pre-war straight-eight 2900, and the post-war Giuliettas, Giulias, Alfettas, Alfasuds and Juniors. Informative sidebars contain coverage of subjects as diverse as the P2 World Championship-winning GP car, the fearsomely powerful twin-engine Bimotore, and the new Spider and GTV.
