This book brings together the magazine's best articles on Alfas over the years 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.

With his monthly Sports Car Market Magazine, Keith Martin made official what the world of car collecting already knew: He was the ultimate authority on collector cars, his columns in AutoWeek and Automobile, and his appearances on Speed Channel and at major auctions a natural extension of his longtime passion and expertise. In this book Martin, along with the editors and contributors at Sports Car Market, gathers the magazine's best articles and auction reports on the most popular British sports cars. An essential reference for anyone with an interest in these collector cars. The book is a gold mine of pithy comments and straight talk about the pros and cons of ownership, the merits of particular makes and models, and what to look for (and avoid) when indulging a passion for collecting British sports cars.

Among the many contributors to Sports Car Market over the years, few have amassed the devoted and loyal following that John Draneas has with his monthly column, Legal Files. Thanks to a sharp mind that can reduce the most complex legal issues to their most salient points, Draneas never fails to educate and entertain with his thoughtful prose. With his unique insights and perspectives on the hobby, The Best of Legal Files is an indispensable resource for collectors and enthusiasts to learn from the mistakes made by others.

This book is unique. It is a compendium of wonderful automotive treasure, as discovered. With the passage of time all cars became worthless and unloved, no matter how eminent. Racing cars inevitably became uncompetitive and redundant. Many vehicles passed into scrapyards, the motoring equivalent of a cemetery, or simply rotted away.

The Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 was produced by Alfa's Autodelta racing department, under the guidance of Carlo Chiti, to compete in the 1972 World Championship for Makes. Hopes were high, as the previously dominant Group 5 racers (including the Porsche 917s and Ferrari 512s) had been outlawed in favour of 3-litre Group 6 cars, such as the Alfa. However, the Alfas struggled to take the fight to the well-developed and reliable Ferrari 312PBs, though scored regular podium positions. The highlight was a second place in the epic Targa Florio Sicilian road race, where Helmut Marko put in a stirring drive to come within seconds of victory. Marko was driving chassis 115.72.002, the most successful of the T33/TT/3 chassis Alfa Romeo T33/TT/3 tells the full story of the T33/TT/3, with an emphasis on the fascinating history of chassis 115.72.002, which competed in seven world championship rounds in 1972. The car would later have a unique second career on the race circuits and hill climbs of Greece, before racing in Japan and South Africa prior to an eventual return to Europe, where it is still a frequent competitor in historic events. The unique history and success of 115.72.002 makes it a worthy addition to Porter Press's acclaimed Exceptional Cars series.
