Review

New Zealand Classic Car, December 2006

“Well worth reading for anyone planning to buy a classic Alfa.”

Product Description
Nobody knows Alfa Romeo like the people at Sports Car Market, especially Keith Martin, who started the magazine as Alfa Romeo Market Letter almost 20 years ago. This book brings together the magazine’s best articles on Alfas over the yearsâ€"giving detailed coverage of every car from the four-door 164s of the ’90s to the Spiders of the ’50s and ’60s to the earliest pre-war 6C and 8C classics; from Giulias, Giuliettas, Duettos, Sprints, Zagatos, and more. Here aficionados and curious amateurs alike will find a full slate of insider information (why, for instance, is one GTV a good deal at $30,000, and another a horrible buy at $10,000?), in-person reviews of Alfas that have actually sold at auction, and exactly what the SCM experts think of the prices they brought.

Whether you’re thinking of buying your first Alfa or your tenth, you’ll find information inside Keith Martin on Collecting Alfa Romeo that you won’t get anywhere elseâ€"and that will help you make the right decision, the very first time.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars Nice articles but not really that informative, December 6, 2007 By  Dan - See all my reviews There is really no technical information or specifications in this book. There are many well written articles but they were written several years ago and are just being republished here. Being a long term subscriber to Sports Car Market may be a disadvantage for me in this case. There is a one page price guide that might be useful but it lists a car as a 101 1300 Spider Normale for example while the text lists this car a Giula Spider Normale. The 'What Its Really Worth' section is also a series of republished auction reviews which are several years old. If you want specifications and some insight into differentiating the various years I recommend the Illustrated Alfa Romeo Buyer's Guide.
