Topics covered include: · Complete history of all Alpine models · Full details of the Tiger, based on the Alpine with the Ford V8 engine · Detailed coverage of Alpine and Tiger racing and rallying fortunes · Full specification tables for all models · Super specially commissioned colour photography · Special feature panels AUTHOR: Graham Robson has had a long career in the motor industry, starting as a graduate engineer at Jaguar Cars.
