Is there such a thing as an Alfa magazine available over the counter at the local newsagent?
There are plenty for merc,audi,bmw,ford etc.
I seem to recall seeing one ages ago but maybe I dreamt it?

There's Auto Italia, but that's about it

The only 100% Alfa magazine in the UK is from AROC. You can't buy it other than through the club subscription to the best of muy knowledge.

Alfa UK has started to produce a couple of magazines as part of their new 'Cloverleaf Club'.

The only one available from the likes of WH Smith is Auto Italia, which, TBH, is an utter joke of a publication: limp-wristed, rose-tinted journalism with the odd comedy error, and more than the odd "Non-car" article. Plus they once employed Steve Berry, who as we all know is a grade A tt. I've read better, more informative in-flight magazines.

The AROC magazine is good (well, it's certainly better than Auto Italia!), but to obtain you have to join said owners club. That in itself is no bad thing, mind.

The AROC magazine can be purchased from the club shop at a cost of £3.95 per issue.

I enjoy the mag, I've met some great people, the forum is excellent for technical help, and my insurance discount (off two cars) more than pays for my subs, so yes!

i agree about auto italia.i used to buy it religiously every month(i've still got copies 1 and 2)but i strangely found it to be a month or more behind other mags when it came to italian cars.so i've not bought it for about three years.
