Viva! Alfa Romeo 1st Edition

Alfa Romeo need no introduction. For more than fifty years, cars have emerged from Milan to challenge the world on the race tracks and in the showrooms. Like all cars builders, Alfa have had their failures as well as their successes – but few would deny the company a very special place in motoring history. Consider for a moment some of the milestones; Ugo Sivocci winning the 1923 Targa Florio in a 6 cylinder RLTF, Nuvolari winning the 1930 TT in a 1750 Zagato, Achille Varzi in the P2, Fangio in the Tipo 159, or the Disco Volante in the 1953 Mille Miglia; the Guilietta, the raucous GT-AM, and the finesse of the new Alfetta. The shade of red may have varied over the years, but the thickness of their ‘blood’ does not. This is the full story of the men, the cars, the races, the drivers, and the intrigue which make up that short lyrical greeting ‘Viva, Alfa Romeo’ Illustrated with a mix of black and white and colour images, the book offers an overview to the world of Alfa Romeo!
