Hi Lane.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Group 4 car that features prominently in your book, is in this video;

Congratulations on a great publication. The detailed photos and first hand descriptions can however lead to obsession with transaxles and things AutoDelta.

Cheers,

Ric.

Thanks for the kind remarks, the car in the video is the actual car detailed in the book. The books theme was mainly about the Turbodelta cars and the Alfetta GR.2  cars as well as the unknown workings of some of the personnel behind the development of these vehicles . It was also a reflection of the "Golden years"  of Autodelta as well as the political undertakings of the era which dictated the direction of the Racing department of Alfa which led to "underdevelopment and short gestation of some of these cars. Because of these "political influences" some of these cars only had a short competition life" but the legacy of this period for those that lived through this era and were influenced by it lives on.
