are pleased to announce the publication of

The Magnificent Monopostos

Alfa Romeo Grand Prix Cars, 1923 to 1951

By Simon Moore

The final book in Simon’s Alfa Romeo trilogy will be launched at the Goodwood Revival

Meeting on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th September. A limited number of copies are

being air-freighted directly from the printer in Singapore and Simon will be present at

the Bonhams Tent to sell and autograph these first copies of the book available in the UK.

Only 1,000 copies have been printed and the remaining copies will not arrive until late

September. Simon will be pleased to take orders for the remaining copies.

Like Simon’s previous Alfa Romeo books from Parkside, The Magnificent Monopostos is produced to the highest

standards. Comprised of 836 pages in two leather-bound volumes in a slipcase, the book contains 1140

photographs, all of which are are spot-varnished on fine matte paper. All black and white photos are

reproduced in duotone or in their original sepia tone. Some rare prewar colour photos are also included.

Alfa Romeo’s glorious racing his- tory is all here, from the 1923 P1s

and the successful P2s through the wonderful Tipo Bs (Chiron is

shown on the left at Monaco in 1934) to the independently-sprung cars

of the late 1930s and the 1950-51 World Championship-winning Tipo

158/159 (Fangio on the right at Berne in 1951). For more information,
