When it came to Alfa Romeos, author Pat Braden was an enthusiast’s enthusiast. Pat didn’t just write about Alfas—he lived and breathed Alfas. From the mid-1950s when he first owned a Giulietta Sprint until his death in September 2002, Pat had owned scores of Alfa Romeos, ranging from a 6C 1750GTC and an 8C 2300 to 1900s, Giuliettas, Giulias and countless later models.
Alfa models are discussed according to history, engine, chassis and trouble spots. And that means that this one volume contains important information needed to understand and enjoy one of these Alfas, as well as to perform many minor service tasks.
Braden starts with a brief overview of Alfa Romeo history, followed by a look at Alfa’s presence in America. He also explores the major models of coupe, spider and berlina that used the all-alloy four-cylinder, as well as the limited production variants. Of course, he also gives much attention to that mighty engine itself. Braden explains the design and history of the engine, as well as exploring trouble spots and offering extensive advice and tips. Additional technical sections focus on the fuel system, transmission, brakes and chassis, not to mention overall restoration.
Alfa Romeo All-Alloy Twin Cam Companion is a key to getting the absolute maximum benefit and enjoyment out of Alfa.
