Alfa Romeo Berlinas
Description
There is something special about Alfa Romeo cars which can't be defined precisely but is, perhaps, best described as a vitality that creates a symbiosis between driver and machine: a oneness that no other marque seems to replicate.
Alfa's Berlinas have always tended to be overshadowed by their spotlight-grabbing Coupe and Spider siblings, but enthusiasts with family car needs have always known that any saloon/sedan with the famous Alfa Romeo badge would deliver pure driving pleasure in equal measure.
Here is the full story of Alfa's quirky but characterful Berlinas, from their beginnings in the early 1900s through to the start of a new millennium. Not only does the book describe and picture every model, it also contains useful information on restoring classic Alfa Romeos and details of marque specialists.

Person
Over the years John Tipler has owned a number of Alfa Romero saloons/sedans as his personal transport, including a 1750 Berlina, a Giulia T.I., a couple of 75s (Americas) and a 155.
John was first fired with Alfa enthusiasm by the sight and sound of blood-red GTAs battling with Lotus Cortinas at Snetterton 1966. His love of Alfas even led to his campaigning a GTV6 in Alfa Owner's Club Championship races in 1990.
Today, John, who's married and has four children, is a freelance motoring journalist contributing to a number of magazines. In the past he's been Press Officer for John Player Motorsport and worked in the Brands Hatch Press Office.
