Cars, aircraft, motorcycles – even tractors – feature in this irreverently personal view of internal combustion, ‘the great enabler,’ for better or worse. Or maybe just for fun. This book goes beyond the normal car book format, exploring what made Alfa special, and asking whether the future of the mark is important or relevant in today’s world. Version 2 Nov 2012
