Alfa Romeo Coupes & Spiders in Detail since 1945

Alfa Romeo's two-door coupés and spiders rank among the most celebrated models in the brand's history, embodying the sporty spirit that defines the marque. This book explores the full story of Alfa Romeo's post-war two-door cars, beginning with the elegant 6C 2500 and coachbuilt 1900s, followed by the iconic Giulietta Sprint, Spider, and SZ.

The journey continues with the Giulia range, including Bertone's Sprint GT, Pininfarina's Duetto, and the racing legends GTA and TZ. Rare V8-powered gems like the 33 Stradale and Montreal, along with the Alfetta GT and the striking SZ/RZ, further highlight Alfa's rich heritage.

Written by Chris Rees, editor of Auto Italia and a leading authority on Italian cars, this book offers a detailed and engaging account of these legendary models.

Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 e 6C 2500 (3 Volumes with slipcase)

Alfa Romeo's "6C" series stands as one of the most successful in the brand's history. Beginning with the victorious 6C 1500 and 6C 1750, it evolved into the 6C 2500 - a model that blended luxury with Alfa Romeo's sporty heritage. Over nearly three decades, the series included racing cars, grand tourers, convertibles, military vehicles, and even commercial vans.

During this era, Italian coachbuilders enjoyed creative freedom, unburdened by modern constraints like size, safety, or cost. This book is the result of over two years of research, revisiting the legacy of the 6C 2300/2500 - two decades after Angelo Tito Anselmi's foundational work. Authors Fabio Morlacchi and Stefano Salvetti deliver a comprehensive study of these iconic cars, now prized by collectors.

Essential for Alfa Romeo enthusiasts, this three-volume set spans over 800 pages and features hundreds of photographs, many previously unpublished.

Alfa Romeo : berlines, coupés et cabriolets de 1958 à 1998 (Autofocus)

In this book dedicated to Alfa Romeo road cars, twelve production models from the 1960s to the 1990s have been selected. From the most popular, but no less endearing, such as the Alfasud, to the most emblematic, such as the Montreal, and others that have become legendary, such as the Giulietta Sprint coupe or the Giulia Spider, without neglecting the more recent but racy 156 or GTV6.

Whatever their price, their year, whether as a sedan, coupe or convertible, these Alfas have managed to retain an extra soul, a real personality, a joy of living, a Latin feel and, above all, arouse emotion, which has earned them the term, la meccanica delle emozioni!
