“Gandini Revisited” is listed on DW’s web site as a future title, by the same author. I wonder what that’s about….

 

Now reviewed at www.speedreaders.info

 

Oh dear! I fear the worst...

And what about this book, years after the car was seen everywhere in magazines...(I hoped we would one day forget this monstrous restoration)

And I agree with you, DW Maserati books are very good, as the Ferrari 330SP, or the new Figoni on Delahaye (but at a crazy price).

 

If anyone has finished with his copy of this and would like to sell it on please let me know. U.S. only, please, just due to shipping costs. Thank you!

@Marcel Massini

Do you have any news regarding the publication of Vintage Car Color References by Mauro Barbieri?

Thank you.

 

Pls in the future contact me directly, you do have my contact details. Thank you.
That book is a private publication, not available publicly, and it is being constantly updated.

My regards
Marcel Massini

 

A have the Alfa Romeo TZ1 and TZ2 book. Received it in 3 days from Germany!! I think the Ferrari book people should be required to get a book from this publisher to see what the competition is capable of. I hope they do the T33/3 book next. Maybe they can start doing Ferrari books, that would be amazing.

 

Do you think they will now add a chapter on the 2023 LeMans victory?

Wow, that appears to be really interesting! 400 pages full of in-depth research, 700 pictures, just 500 copies, and all that at a price of 150 euros. I think, one can't go wrong with that.

 

I'm sure you are aware of this one:

Actually not. Thanks again!

 

This is a really excellent book. Well researched and great detail, and great photos. Nathan

 

Is that similar to the Tailor Made program ?

 

Similar yes but not identical.

For those interested in the design/styling of the automobile, this covers a wide range of cars globally. 568 pgs.!
The authors examine each example from a design/styling POV. Always controversial choosing 'best of/iconic' designs, but thought provoking and entertaining.

The author’s name sounds familiar.

 

Yes, Guy Bird writes about design in other publications.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good book on the F50? Ideally one with serial numbers and colors. Does that exist?

 

I've just got to work but I'll have a look over my library when I get home tonight for you.

I think I have two or three books dedicated and / or including the F50 but I don't think any are partially comprehensive.

Gap in the market place perhaps ?

 

Perhaps thinking of Roger Barlow, of International Motors in LA fame?

 

Yes, Marc, now that you mention it I probably am.
