Alpine Renault: The Fabulous Berlinettes

This is a must have book for anyone interested in Alpine's and rallying. The book details the sheer determination of one man, Jean Redele, who managed to motive a group of people in to a team to achieve remarkable results and a Fabulous Alpine A110 car.

I am a berlinette owner. The meticulously researched history is impressive and provides for me much unknown detail about these rare iconic cars.

The Only thing wrong with this Book was the Publisher Veloces Ridiculous Price of £75. As I expected the Price soon dropped and I was able to buy it for £37.50. Still a lot but reasonable. Since Book wholesalers usually require 50% Discount on the Marked Price this is prettyusual but the Rapid Increase in MOTOR Book Prices, as opposed to other Book Prices which are coming down makes Car Book Purchase a problematic Area. Veloce also still insist on using the same Format for all their Publications which , in some cases , as this one do NOT suit the Book and result in Cramped poorly presented Pictures. All this is a great shame as Roy Smith has done a great job in filling a long standing Hole in Automotive History by writing a Series of Books on the Alpine. Buy this one, at a Discounted Price ! ! while you can because its the only worthwhile Book, In English ,on these great little ALPEENS. !

Exactly what I wanted. No dramas with delivery.

Lots of history, lots of photos, very useful reference for the fantastic little French rally cars.

Compré este libro para mi esposo y le gustó mucho ya que tiene un Dinalpin y lo disfruta mucho. Muy buen libro

Not really a review of the car, but a review of the competitive results. Disappointing waste of money.

The book is great if you have interest in Alpines. There is incredible detail and many photos. It is difficult to find a book published in English with this level of information. I unforunately had some shipping damage which we settled with a partial refund.

highly informative & enjoyable read.recommended

WINDERFUL read with great pictures. Enjoyed reading very much. Great history detailed in this book. I would recommend to the car guys like me
