Official book collectors thread

After reading the Stratos book it looks like the only turbo car with bodywork like the one on the cover is in Europe now, not Japan. Several replicas were also built.

 

2022 yearbook comes with 4 different covers - ridiculous...

I bet, there will be limited edition set with all four of them in it, like the Porsche magazine Christophorus did a few years ago with a set of different covers each showing a different racing driver. The whole set was available for I think 1,000 euros ...

And another bet: the cover with the 499P will sell best.

 

What year did Ferrari start publishing the Corse Clienti yearbooks? And do they still publish them? If not, what was the last edition?

The same question for the Shell Historic Ferrari (& Maserati) Challenge publications. I have three (2000, 2001 and 2002). Are there any more?

 

how does Casucci’s stack up? He probably isn’t covering as much racing. I should read it closely.

 

Do you mean the Racing Activities yearbooks or something else? I believe all the racing stuff went into the Racing Activities yearbooks from 2004(?) onwards. They are still published. Three volumes nowadays although I haven't seen anything of the 2022 edition myself so far.

 

Hi Jonathan,

Here are two samples of each of the publications I mentioned.

Ah, something different. I have the same edition of the Corse Clienti book (2008) as in your photo but no others. In other words, I can't answer your question then. Sorry!

 

A bit less Sven, it was 68 Euros. But should you offer 1,000 Euros for my set, I might consider parting with it

 

Hi Lars, I don't mean the standard one, which I discovered only now after your post. There has been a luxxury edition with transparent glas-like slipcase and with all six copies signed by the respective drivers. That was extremely expensive. I didn't find it now, but I remember it.

But, maybe, let's stop Porsche stuff at this place right now ;-)

 

Ah, that one I wasn‘t aware of, seems that I only have the poor man‘s edition then.

 

Shell Historic Ferrari (& Maserati) Challenge publications..

Hi Ivo,

Thanks for posting these editions. I think the 2000 edition is the first one published. Are the 2003 and later versions comparable content wise with the 2000/2001/2002 editions? i.e. participants, race results, regulations, calendar?

 

Thanks too Ivo for posting this. I'm only interested in the historic challenge. Do the 2006 and 2009 editions cover the historic challenge? I have editions 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 (and 2008 is on its way from Ebay). I can't recall what year the Corse Clienti program started so I don't know if the 2003 edition is the first publication.
I do think that the historic challenge was discontinued in 2009? So the 2009 edition of the Corse Clienti publication would be the last one to cover the historic challenge (results of the 2008 season)?

 

no, from the 2003 version they don't look back at the past season. So no list of drivers from the previous year.
But it's about: Organization, tech.regulation,Safety, Events,points etc...but not a list of entrants.

 

My most recent purchases - out of balance favoring Porsche, I'll need to sort this out:

Excellent choice on those Porsche books!

 

They are indeed of exceptional quality - the GT2 book was also a bargain regarding its price.

 

The Ferrari 550 Maranello Prodrive book from Girardo is coming to the Retromobile in February.
No informations about price or order possibilites etc yet.

It's been a long wait - I did register interest some time ago but did not get any update.

 

Same here.

 

I'd say at least 2 years since that book was announced.

Again, received no information on availability from them as yet.

 

Many thanks for the heads up. Like a few other posters I registered my interest and asked a few questions but never heard anything back from them apart from being put on their mailing list.

 

I wrote to them an email and contacted them though Instagram, but never received any reply either. Reminds me of Bugatti EB110 communication (see special thread). But let's hope, we can enjoy a great book in February.
