Does anyone have this book?
I am looking for the chassis nos of the ferrari's on display at the 1970 Paris show?

 

I think, if I understood a recent post correctly, that it's author is a member here...

 

Chassis numbers were not mentioned in the 1970 section.

 

Ah fair enough, that's a shame.

 

The yellow Daytona at Paris 1970 was 13727.

Thanks Marcel

Haven't seen that book before.
Can I have a few details on that one please
Worth buying?

 

Debatable.

 

Hi Mark, yes, in my opinion it's a very fine book. I like the collection of images which take us on a journey through time and the history of the Paris Salon. Look here as well:

Only French text ?

 

Oui...

 

For information, the 2024 Factory Yearbook is now available - a bit late this time, usually out just before Christmas. Part number 95998329 available from your nearest Dealer, but note that they have to buy in lots of 6 from the Factory, so may not just want you to buy one copy! Lots available though.

 

2024 factory y/book is a new size this year - now 11.5" x 11.5". TOFM #55, Print no. 8723/24 . 242pgs. Front cover looks like an Antonio de Giusti design from the 1960s. I've scanned the Contents page so you can see what the articles are about (more or less the usual - F1, Sports Cars, events, clothes etc.
Third photo is of a triple page fold-out.

Another new book - "Ferrari & Maranello " with the testimony of Gisberto Leopardi, who started work as a trainee mechanic at Ferrari in 2947. 191pgs with many photos, both colour and b/w. Some interesting stuff on the early years at Maranello including building the factory. I like this one. It's nice to see the mechanics (the unsung heroes) getting a mention.

For those members in the U.S. who are interested in this book, Pastiner’s expects to have it in a couple of weeks. Auto Books Aero books shows it on their web site but they haven’t replied to my inquiries about whether or not it’s actually in stock.

Steve said he was expecting some soon.

 

Purchased this Ferrari & Maranello book from autobooks-aerobooks.com in Burbank CA. However nothing happened after a payment confirmation. No reply to emails...
The mechanics know all the good gossip!

 

Thanks, John. Is that page from Pastiner’s web site? I’m on it now but for some reason I can’t find that page, nor does the title come up in a search.

 

That looks like a weekly email that shows the latest arrivals to subscribers.

 

No it's from his weekly newsletter. PM me your email and I’ll forward it to you.

 

Very nice move by Ferrari! I like it.

 

Just ordered the English version of the BMW 3.0 CSL book at Sportfahrer Zentrale. Not Ferrari I know... but one of my favourite cars and these guys always have some fantastic German racing pics and a hotline to the drivers of the day. Not cheap, but unless Parabolica or someone does it, probably the best we will get. Hopefully BMW has supplied chassis info.

Their Automobilsport mag is very good uness it is covering modern historic racing, a trend that seems to be increasing, sadly.

 

Apparently Christoph Mäder is also trying his hand at the CSL.

 

My error! It’s TOFM #65 (typo)
