Product Description
Since the 1930s the Alfa tradition of sporting coupés has been as strong as that of their incomparable open cars. But the coupés, while sometimes overlooked, have arguably been even finer cars than open-topped siblings and they have certainly had more than their fair share of success in competition. This new book, by well-known motoring writer Graham Robson, looks at the classic pedigree of Alfa coupés, from the Giulietta in 1954 to the end of Alfasud Sprint and… More >>

Alfa Romeo books are not too common so this is a nice book. I used to drive Alfa all the time but changed to the British autos back in the 1970s.
Still very nice and lovely photos.
Sincerely,

This glorious, in-color wish book has provided my husband with hours of enjoying beautiful photos, good info and just plain DREAMS!!! It is one of the nicest gifts someone who loves dramatic old cars-or ANY Alfas, can be given. Well done, with good amounts of info and wonderful pictures.

What good pictures are these people talking about?!? Did they buy a different book? The whole thing is in BLACK and WHITE except for a few pics in the middle of the book. If I want only tech data I will get it thru other sources; when I buy a book on a car I like I expect to see great pictures.

Well… a definitive history since 1954 of the +2 cars. However a few little errors bug me about it. After reading Pat Braden’s technical accounts of the Giulietta and Giulia, I notice that a few things about the Veloce’s are gotten wrong in this account concerning technical features of the most sporting versions of the production cars. Which leaves me wondering… is anything else slightly off? I don’t know enough about the Suds or the GTA’s, GTAms to say, but I will have to dig now to find out.

If you are restoring a Giulietta or Giulia and are unsure about what is original for your car and what things are supposed to look like in the many incarnations of the 750 and 101 series, this is the book to have. Special bodied Alfas are also well covered. Great book.
