    Hello everyone.
    I am delighted to know the presence of AMR lover in this Chat.
    This is the Last of the Factory Brochure.

    ** In my Opinion,  New car > BBR, Old car > AMR.  60s'Ferrari likes AMR! **

    Regards,
    Kamegorou.

    I handbuilt close to 100 of these for private collectors and myself...

    Very cool, some time would have the song he was listening to on the inside of the floor plate! I have a few factory but took them off the plates as they look better on glass and I am a collector that had intentions of ever reselling them. I am sure someday my wife will sell them for 25 cents each at a garage sale!

    Older amr's are nice, especially if you have the old kits built by specialist builders of today.

    Seen some amazing models over the years that surpasses the quality of the old factorybuilts by "miles" there is whole new trend going on at the moment based on these old kits.

    Its like bbr, I prefer the older models. Making a perfect models is farely easy these days, making a model come to live and have the right "feel" is something Ruf was a master in.

    If anybody is interested I have a BBR book (have 2) that covers the early days of bbr on offer. Its called Il grande Piccole and covers production from the start uptill 1995. Have been waiting for the second book since 1998... still waiting.... ;-)

    Hello everyone!
    I alone in Japan, because the Internet also was not, it was very hard.  (Difficult to obtain those overseas.)
    And I have spent the entire fortune in Real car.
    Now, I can not buy the expensive ones... And, Japan is strict regulation of remittance to Overseas.
    ** However, Everyone's Treasure is glad to see in This Chat!! **

    P.S.
    Mr.Robert Garven, 308 Fellow!  My Friends, also 308GT4. However, all members retired from Ferrari.
    Unfortunately is there Not AMR 308GTB. 308GT4 exists in LePhoenix. Enviable!
    Mr.moriaan1, Early BBR and HECO, also BBR white slip case book.  I've sold for a living ...
    It was a painful experience...
    (My young age, I like the gorgeous HECO.)

    Regards,
    Kamegorou.

    This I believe is the same book. I reviewed this in a previous post.If this is,or is not, your area of interest it is still a great and unique volume with a lot of interesting behind the scenes stories. You can buy at least a dozen of these for the price of "Rivals...".Of course if you really must have polished stainless and leather.......! tonga's crew

    Thanks for posting that, Nathan. Giorgio Nada probably thanks you too, as I promptly found a couple hundred Euros worth of other "must haves" on their homepage alone...:)

    Back in January 2002, when I bought my copy of the Rivals book in the gas tank type box I paid GB P £ 4'000. Mine is #40.

    Hello, Enthusiasts.
    When I had to research the Ferrari alone in Japan, It was difficult to find This Book.
    * Why, This [1994 edition] Only is Rare ??? *

    I bought this some time in 2005. I have this listed at the time with a value of $1300 which means I probably paid less than $1000. tonga's crew

    This is the story that I heard about the rarity of this book. IIRC the German GP 1994 was Ferrari's first win for about 4 years, and sponsor Marlboro bought most of the print run to give away in celebration.

    You're welcome. I don't think you will be disappointed with either book.

    Mr. Nathan, Thank you for Teachings.
    Also in this field, being influenced by the Tobacco Industry!
    I bought up to V12 of 1995.  For me, the last of Ferrari F1 is "412T2".

    As I mentioned in the 308 section Mr Fioravanti will be the guest of honor at our lunch in August to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 308. I will be receiving a personally autographed copy of the book from him at the function.
