The Alfa Romeo 6C was a legend almost before motoring was old enough to have much of a history. It was not just the cars , it was everything and everyone that went with them.
The silky smooth engine - creation of brilliant designer Vittorio Jano - the high performance sports cars, the luxury road cars and the evocative locations and events - Targa Florio, Mille Miglia, Tourist Trophy and Le Mans.
The account of the men behind the car is a story in itself and Angela Cherrett has woven a hall of fame through the book, adding a very personal touch to this eventful account.
The often exotic bodywork, from companies such as Zagato and Vande Plas, is described and portrayed using many previousily unpublished photographs to form an unparalleled gallery of the coachbuilder's art.
A fascinating and concise account of the birth of the company forms a prologue to the 6C phenomenon, tellig us about the principal creators of this legendary company and how they put the name Alfa Romeo into all-time motoring parlance.
