    Just wondering if anyone has this book? I know its an old one-

    The Colonel's Ferraris: Maranello Concessionaires' racing team by Doug Nye

    Does it have a picture of just about every Maranello Concessionaires Ferrari?

    Good read?

    Thank you

    I have the book. It's worthwhile, but not up to the standards we have come to expect from DCN, in my opinion. It does read a bit like it was commissioned by Col. Hoare. I honestly don't know if every MC car is depicted (I assume you mean the race cars) since I'm not knowledgeable enough to know all the cars that they raced.

    Thanks, hopefully I can find one at a decent price. The same for the NART book.

    Some of these Motor Sports books are really pricey.

    For rare motoring books, eBay is not always the best place to search or buy. Be sure to do a general Google search for your title as well, as this can turn up dealers who do not sell on eBay.

    Thanks Pete, makes sense. I might find better prices out there.

    ABE is a good place to check for out of print titles. Also V12 books in Germany, Ferrari book specialist, is very reputable and has reasonable prices.

    Suggest Ben Horton of Hortons Books in the UK.
    They are the best and have every rare title.
