Launched in 1971, the Alfasud was an all-new departure for Alfa Romeo, both in its design and its execution. Originally it was developed with the dual intentions of launching the company into large-volume production and providing a more affordable model than their highly regarded sports cars. However, its story was far from straightforward. Although respected for its technically brilliant design and universally praised for its ride and handling, the model never quite reached its full sales potential and its reputation was marred by problems that could not have been foreseen. With over 240 photographs, this book includes: A brief history of Alfa Romeo to the end of the 1960sThe development of the Alfasud’s design and the political reasons for building a new factoryThe car’s reception from both the press and ownersThe evolution of the model from initial prototypes, to the improvements to build quality and performance, including the Giardinetta and Sprint variations;Alfasuds in competitionA discussion of the political and labour problems, as well as the early quality-control issues, andSpecification tables, performance data, chassis numbers, engine codes and colour charts.

The first collection from UK Writer and Poet Chris Martin, this eclectic mixture of performance poems, short fiction and comics acts a high-water mark for his work to date. The work spans topics including parenthood, drunken nights out, spontaneous group singing, depression, and glitter and has been created over a year of performance and public projects. Inspired by the poets of his childhood including the Mersey Beat Poets and Spike Milligans, Chris has blended their irreverent and often sideways perspective with the performance passion of modern artists like Scroobius Pip, Jess Green and Adam Kammerlin to create a style of his own. His work is not always safe for work, but is always designed to make you smile as well as think.
