Berlinetta `60s - Exceptional Italian Coupes of the 1960s (Hardcover): Christian Descombe Berlinetta `60s - Exceptional Italian Coupes of the 1960s (Hardcover)
Christian Descombe; Photographs by Xavier de Nombel; Translated by Julian Parish
R2,480 Discovery Miles 24 800 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Following his portraits of the coupes of the 1950s published in 2017, Xavier de Nombel turns his cameras to the `Sixties to bring us the most beautiful Berlinettas produced during that decade, which he has tracked down all over the world. From the fiery little Osca to the revolutionary Carabo, employing stunning photography, he presents his personal vision of a period in which styling gave way to design. Around his personal favourites, Christian Descombes relates the upheavals which Italian coachbuilding went through as it evolved from craftsmanship to industrial production, leaving behind its clientele of well-off enthusiasts to offer its expertise to the major international car makers. Giorgetto Giugiaro, undoubtedly one of the leading players in this period, shares a remarkable account from inside, bringing to light the expressions of Italian automotive design since the post-war years

La presentation d'une nouvelle Alpine en 2017 a redonne vie a une marque mythique, disparue depuis 22 longues annees. Alpine etait nee de la passion d'un homme, Jean Redele, qui donna vie a son reve en 1955. Resolument sportive les premieres Alpine se feront une place respectee dans le rallye. Tributaires des mecaniques Renault, elles sauront en tirer le meilleur parti grace a Amedee Gordini et Marc Mignotet, mais aussi grace a une structure originale dont elles furent les pionnieres, le chassis-poutre. Le modele le plus emblematique, la berlinette A 110 dominera le rallye europeen dans les annees 1960, face a des adversaires souvent mieux armes, avant de s'adjuger le titre de premiere championne du monde des rallyes en 1973. Les 24 Heures du Mans seront une autre aventure qui se terminera avec Renault et la victoire de 1978. Les prix atteints dans les recentes ventes aux encheres aupres des collectionneurs donnent la mesure de la passion qui continue d'animer les nombreux amateurs de la marque. Text in French.
