About this product
Product Information
AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR Launched in 1971, the Alfasud was an all-new departure for Alfa Romeo, both in its design and its execution and became the best-selling model in the history of Alfa Romeo . Originally it was developed with the dual intentions of launching the company into large volume production and providing a more affordable model than their highly regarded sports cars. However, its story was far from straightforward. Although respected for its technically brilliant design and universally praised for its ride and handling, the model never quite reached its full sales potential and its reputation was marred by problems that could not have been foreseen. With over 240 colour photographs, the book includes a brief history of Alfa Romeo to the end of the 1960s. The development of the Alfasud's design and the political reasons for building a new factory are given along with the car's reception from both the press and owners. The evolution of the model from initial prototypes, to the improvements to build quality and performance, including the Giardinetta and Sprint variations are covered as well as Alfasuds in competition. The political and labour problems, as well as the early quality control issues are discussed. Finally, there are numerous specification tables, performance data, chassis numbers, engine codes and colour charts. AUTHOR: Chris Martin was born in Hertfordshire, and while at school had a weekend job at local racing driver John Britten's garage. He graduated through the motor trade in London, had a spell with an Alfa Romeo dealership when the Alfasud was a popular seller, worked on formula racing cars through the 1990s followed by twelve years in Formula One. Since moving to Australia in 2003 he has written for car-related websites, various magazines and is a regular contributor to Classic & Sports Car. He currently serves as President of the Australian Motorlife Museum. SELLING POINTS: . A history of the Alfa Romeo Alfasud - its highs and lows. . Will be of interest to all motoring enthusiasts, particularly those interested in Italian cars and Alfa Romeo. . Covers the design and development for all models, specification tables, market reception, sales and motorsport. . Superbly illustrated with 246 colour photographs. . Chris Martin has had a life-long career in the motor trade, formula racing cars and Formula One - he is a regular contributor to Classic & Sportscar. 246 colour photographs
