Centenary Celebration special issue

Welcome to our centenary celebration of Alfa Romeo delivered to all members in August. It is packed with articles that give an insight into aspects of an illustrious history. We are most grateful to the distinguished expert authors who have generously provided us with fascinating articles on their chosen subjects. In addition we have called upon the knowledge and memories of club members who campaigned Alfas in competition, followed the development of Alfa road cars and were involved with our club right from its inception. This special issue features motor sport, exotic pre-war road cars and the post-war change to mass production. There are articles on engineering design and the Carrozzerie who produced such wonderfully styled bodies. Of the many post-war road cars, we have chosen to feature the Alfetta GTV6. It is described in detail covering road car variations and the many 'specials'. In competition the GTV6 gave the Touring Car protagonists an Alfa that could compete, despite the technical challenges. There is also the history of AROC from its formation in 1964. We hope that everyone will enjoy and learn something from the articles published here and will keep our Centenary Celebration on-the-shelf into the future.

The AROC Magazine is a full colour publication delivered to members six times a year. There is always a variety of feature articles to suit most Alfa interests including classic Alfa reviews, members¡¯ ownership reports, touring reports by members who have driven their Alfas to exotic places and events plus reviews of the latest Alfa Romeo model launches. Registro Ricambi features reports from the Alfa model registers with advice on technical and spares matters. Specialist Alfa services are featured regularly and Alfa Romeo Dealers are reviewed. Regular columnists put their individual spin on Alfa matters and there are always words from the ¡®Workshop floor¡¯ to help with those servicing and technical queries. Cars and spares are offered in the Classified section and events detailed in the Club Diary. A fund of knowledge and entertainment for Alfa owners.
