FOR ISSUE 168 we have brought together a superb collection of Abarths, and dragged along Vicky Butler-Henderson for a test drive. As regular readers will know, Vicky is competing in the Trofero Abarth 500 race series this year (first round at Oulton Park over the Easter weekend meeting, 3&5 April) so it seemed a great idea to give her the full blown Abarth experience.

BEST EVER ALFA? Have you been following our  100 years of Alfa Romeo features?  Part Two is in Issue 168.  We are picking what we think is the best Alfa of every decade, and when  we have a full set of 10 amazing Alfas, we are going to ask you to vote which is the best. That way we get 'the greatest Alfa ever - as chosen by Auto Italia readers' and there cannot be a better acolade than that.  The 100 year of Alfa Romeo  features are spread over issues 167, 168, 169 and 170.

ALFA ROMEO will be one of the star attractions at this year's Race Retro, the international historic motorsport show at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry (12-14 March). This event is a must for all historic motorsport enthusiasts, especially thanks to its Live Rally Stage where you can actually see historic cars driven in anger, on the loose. This year there will be an ex-Carlos Sainz Repsol Lancia Delta integrale amongst the superb collection of competition machinery in action. If you need to know more, or want to know how to get to Stoneleigh, go to: www.raceretro.com
