Sixty years ago, in November 1963, the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ made its competitive debut at the Tour de Corse. The first two volumes detail the development and racing history of the Giulia TZ, while volumes 3 to 5 provide a complete register of all built models, ownership changes, and race participations until homologation ended in 1974. Volume 5 includes contemporary documents and previously unpublished photographs.
Former leading Alfa Romeo engineers, passionate about motorsport, created spectacular sports car prototypes from 1948 to 1962, despite their busy schedules with production cars. Access to museum vehicles and insights were provided by Stefano Agazzi and Alessandro Rigoni, while Dr. Marco Fazio contributed fascinating documents and previously unpublished photographs.

In 1963 the first section of Alfa Romeo's new production and assembly plant in Arese became operational. From then on the bodies of both the saloon and the coupé of the Tipo 105 would be produced there. Final assembly of the cars would also be carried out in Arese, although the engine and various other mechanical components were still made in the old works in Portello at that time. Production of these parts would be moved to Arese over the following years as shop floor space was completed and made available. Fortunately over the years much of the production process of the various Tipo 105 models was photographed. This is a book for the enthusiast who is interested in seeing how car components and Tipo 105 cars were produced, a model which still today is considered to have played an important role in Alfa Romeo's enviable reputation. The photographs in this book, for the most part published for the very first time, were taken in Portello and Arese between the years 1963 and 1972 and document the production of the Tipo 105 models at the works.
In 1968, Porsche celebrated its first Monte Carlo Rally victory, marking a significant milestone in its motorsport history. The journey began in 1952 when Porsche first entered the rally, but due to unique regulations that included various handicaps, their teams often finished in the middle of the pack. It wasn't until 1956 that Porsche achieved its first class win, followed by more victories in 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, and 1967. A pivotal change in 1968 saw the Automobile-Club de Monaco eliminate handicaps, allowing the fastest teams to compete for overall wins. Vic Elford and David Stone seized this opportunity, securing Porsche's first overall victory. The success continued with wins in 1969 and 1970, but a long hiatus followed after Porsche withdrew its official teams from motorsport in 1971. It wasn't until 1978 that Porsche returned to the top, with a win by privateers Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Vincent Laverne in a Porsche 911. The subsequent years saw class wins in 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982. This book, presented in three languages (French, English, and German), features photographs of every Porsche team that made its mark in the Monte Carlo Rally from 1952 to 1982.
