Since then, the Alfa Romeo story has combined an unrivalled engineering pedigree with a series of all-but-fatal commercial challenges. In every case, a rescuer was eventually found, including at one time the Government of dictator Benito Mussolini.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDavid Owen introduces the company's colourful early history before concentrating on the post-war models. They are all here: the landmark Alfa 1900 marking the company's entry into the mass market, the best-selling Giulia and Giulietta models, radical new concepts for the Alfetta and Alfasud, and successors like the 75, the 90 and the 164.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition of this successful book brings the story right up-to-date by turning the spotlight on to the exciting models that have emerged in recent years — most notably the much-loved 156. It examines the evolution of their engineering and styling, reviews how they have been received by the motoring press, and how they appeal to those fortunate enough to drive them. Technical specifications and buying information are included, together with features on issues of particular significance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn engineer and long-time Alfa enthusiast, David Owen has been writing about the marque and individual models for more than 30 years. His books include Alfa Romeo: Ninety Years of Success on Road and Track.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr class=\"ProductSectionSeparator\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eH4117\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e1844251179\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2004\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e270x210mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e176\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eHard Bound, colour ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9781844251179\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627900354780,"sku":"9781844251179","price":149.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b10074_alfa_romeo_always_with_passion__36216.1339460324.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772085491","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/alfa-romeo-always-with-passion-2nd-edition","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
