		1966-1968 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 1600 These are considered prestige catalogs and are the best as they contain many large format pictures and lots of interesting writing. Many of the photographs in this catalog are also in the smaller brochures. The theme of the early English version, is different than the small format folders. Here, the car is described as "even prettier than it's picture". The German version still has the same theme, "the most beautiful under the sun". There is another English version, written especially for the American market. Here, the Spider 1600 is "the one experts call best by far". Who are these experts? They are the editors of Car and Driver Magazine. Photographed by O. Toscani and edited by A. Garzanti. 20 pages.  Printed in Italy. Dimensions: 8 1/2" X 11" (22 cm X 28 cm)

		1968 1750 Spider Veloce According to Walter Zeichner, author of Alfa Romeo Spider 1956-1986, this 8 page folder was issued especially for the 1968 Brussels Auto Show. It's sad that Alfa Romeos marketing department could have thought of anything new to write in the brochures.  The English and German brochures carry the same description as the other brochures. Edited by Aldo Garzanti and photographed by Serge Libiszewski.  8 pages.  Printed in Italy. Dimensions: 5 3/4" X 8 3/4" (14.5 cm X 22.2 cm)
		1968 Alfa Romeo This 8 page folder is a very rare Japanese piece. The Alfa Romeo market was very small during the 60's and not many brochures were printed. All of the pictures in this folder except the 1300 GT Junior are factory pictures. The 1300 GT Junior is a righthand drive car with Japanese license plates.  8 pages.  Printed in Japan.

		1968-1969 1750 Spider Veloce Alfa Romeo Most of the pictures in this 24 page catalog are the same ones used in the 1600 Spider catalog. The pictures of the interior are of the 1750 Spider Veloce. These first two catalogs are from 1968. In the English Version, the car is described as "Even Prettier Than It's Picture". It is interesting that this English version is the only one carrying this description. In the Italian version, the car is still described as. "The Most Beautiful Under The Sun". It was not until 1969 that Alfa Romeo began to serialize their sales material. The 1969 French (691A22R) and English (691A23R) versions still differ in their descriptions. This later English version has the same text as the 1968 version with the exception of some subtle changes in some of the numbers such as speed and measurements. Edited by Aldo Garzanti. 20 pages.  Printed in Italy. Dimensions: 8 1/2" X 11" (22 cm X 28 cm)
