Alfa Romeo Arna - The True Story 1980-1987

This book is the first detailed account of the 1980s joint venture between Alfa Romeo and Nissan. Mired in political controversy from the get-go, the joint venture produced two identical cars based on the Nissan Cherry but built in Italy and equipped with Alfa Romeo running gear.
The Alfa Romeo Arna and the Nissan Cherry Europe sold poorly and the venture, which ended in 1987, has been ridiculed ever since.

Alfa Romeo historian Matteo Licata sets the record straight on the Arna with this extensive research based on period documents, to separate the facts from the misconceptions once and for all.

Alfa Romeo Alfasud

At the end of the '60s, Alfa Romeo began to write a new chapter in its history by entering the market with a medium-low class car that was true to the company's sporting vocation and with a form of technology only experimented with in timid fashion until then. The little Alfa's front-wheel drive and a longitudinal mounted boxer engine, signalled a real turnaround that even involved a selected production centre: Pomigliano d'Arco, near Naples.

The Alfasud was a car that not only left a deep impression on the technological and industrial history of the automotive Italy, but also had major repercussions on the social, occupational and political life of the country between the early '70s and the end of the '80s, which included an highly active sporting life rich with success.
