Alleggerita<\/h2>\n

By Tony Adriaensens, Patrick Dasse & Martin \u00dcbelher<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n<\/i><\/p>\n

First published in 1993, Adriaensens\u2019 Alleggerita became the definitive text for the history of the much loved and highly collectible Alfa Romeo GTA\/ GTAm\/GTAJr. Perhaps more significantly, it set the standard for an entirely new segment of highly specialized, in-depth single model treatises that would follow. So valued is that first edition by collectors and GTA aficionados that copies currently sell for $1600 or more.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to the expanded second edition of this work. Working now with Patrick Dasse and Martin \u00dcbelher, Alleggerita has now grown into a three-volume magnum opus, which includes:<\/p>\n

Volume 1: The evolution of the GTA\/GTAm\/GTAJr., and the race history of the cars, focusing on the European Touring Car Championship. 464 pages, 347 b\/w and 118 color photos.<\/p>\n

Volume 2: Technical documentation, including the complete homologation papers, as well as the original Alfa Romeo documents detailing the technical characteristics of the GTA and the GTA 1300 Jr. 464 pages, 708 color photos.<\/p>\n

Volume 3: Complete register of all known and confirmed GTA\/GTAm\/GTAJr. cars. 528 pages, 396 b\/w photos and 125 color photos.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re an automotive bibliophile, an Alfisti or a GTA owner, this limited edition work (3,000 English language editions and 1,500 German language editions) will be a must-have.<\/p>\n

Available directly from the publisher for \u20ac349\/US$450 at www.alleggerita.de<\/a> or in better automotive bookstores.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
