David Owen, a former engineer in the aerospace industry, has been writing about the Alfa Romeo marque and individual models for more than 25 years. He has over a dozen books to his credit including Alfa Romeo: Ninety Years of Success on Road and Track. He lives at Chester.
Main description
If Alfa fans ever needed confirmation that the Fiat takeover was a lot more than mere badge engineering, then here is the proof. The second edition of this well-received book chronicles the wealth of new models launched by the marque since 1986 and the ground-breaking power units that drive them. David Owen provides an authoritative insight into post-war Alfa Romeos, from the 1900 to the sleek GT coupe available from the end of 2003. The lavishly illustrated text includes driving impressions, buying hints and specifications, together with marque information.
