Description
Alfa Romeo is synonymous with style and performance and these qualities are epitomised in forty years' production of the famous series of Spider sports cars. From the beautifully proportioned Guiletta Spider of 1955 to the latest styles launched in 1996, these cars have always been attractive, desirable and charismatic to own and drive. Here, Alfa Romeo enthusiast John Tipler tells the full story of the conception, design, introduction and production of these charming sports cars, witht photographs throughout and road tests of significant models. Topics covered include full development history, detailed specifications, road tests, restoration guide and list of importers. Fully illustrated with archive and contemporary photographs. AUTHOR: John Tipler is a freelance motoring writer and historian who contributes to numerous motoring magazines and has written many books on the subject. His extensive backgound in the motor industry includes spells in the John Player Motorsport Press Office, and at the Motor Industry Research Unit. His interest spreads across many makes and models, but he is inevitably drawn towards sporting cars, classics, and motorbikes. 140 b/w photos
