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.

Dimensions: 5 3/4" X 8 3/4" (13.4 cm X 22.1 cm).

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. The theme of the English Version, "Even Prettier Than It's Picture" is the same as that of the 1600 Spider.

 It is interesting that this English version is the only one carrying this theme. The Italian version, has the same theme as the 1600 Spider, "La Piu Bella Sotto Il Sole", The Most Beautiful Under The Sun.

It was not until 1969 that Alfa Romeo began to assign serial numbers to their sales material. The French version serial number 691A22R, continues with the theme, "La Plus Belle Sous Le Soleil", The Most Beautiful Under The Sun. This 1969 English version, serial number 691A23R, carries the same "Even Prettier Than It's Picture" theme.

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.
