Alfa Romeo is synonymous with style and performance and these qualities are epitomised in forty years' production of the famous series of Spider sports cars.

Topics covered include full development history, detailed specifications, road tests, restoration guide and list of importers. Fully illustrated with archive and contemporary photographs.
