Alpine Renault : The Fabulous Berlinettes

Alpine Renault : The Fabulous Berlinettes

 
The berlinettes were fragile, beautifully designed, lightweight road rockets. For the first time, Alpine Renault enthusiasts around the world can read the complete history of them in English. This book is not just for owners of Alpine Renaults, but for all those interested in rallying and its spectacular period of rapid development in the late 1960s and early '70s. Hear from the men who built the cars, some of the great drivers who became famous driving them, the team manager, the Redele family - creators of the car - and the mechanics who kept the cars going. The story covers the concept, the first cars, the early road cars, and their entry into competition on the European rallying circuit, with full charted documentary details. The Alpine A110 berlinette was a car born to compete, born to win. This is its story.

About the Author

Roy Smith is a retired company director who has a life long passion for motorsport, and, since 1968, Alpine Renault in particular. He began writing in the 1960s for club magazines, mainly interviews with the notables of the time. A 40-year business career in sales and marketing developed an attention for detail that proved essential for the preparation of works such as this and his previous books: an account of the first turbo Formula 1 car, and a two-volume history of the Alpine Renault Sports Prototypes. Now a professional historic motor sport writer, Roy is once again writing another 'first in English,' with his usual desire to provide a good read to newcomers and hardened enthusiasts alike. He has written many specialist articles for magazines in France, and internationally as a UK historic correspondent.
