Official book collectors thread

Porter Press published some sample pages and a detailed description of the 275P book:

The book is limited to 750 copies.

There is a 25-copy leather edition as well:

I opted for the standard edition, which in my opinion will offer much value for money and could be swiftly sold out.

 

At nearly 6 times the price of the standard book I think that's a wise decision Sven.

Swiftly sold out might be a stretch due to the limited appeal of the 275 P but lets see.

Certainly a big price jump compared to their Exceptional / Great Car Series that this book would seem to belong to (if not labeled as such).

 

(also they might have to change the title after the Ferrari 499P won in 2023 and 2024)

 

Yes but it wasn't the same chassis.

 

Who knows ? A bit off topic, sorry, but is there a way to know the chassis numbers used in each race ? Have they even disclosed the number of chassis assembled since 2023? I wonder if the 50 (or 50s) is still 50, or if it is sometimes 51.

(I have seen the ‘winning car’ of 2023 up close several times... I don't know what to think, the surface condition is very strange, it could be due to the varnish used to stabilise its surface, but its ‘war wounds’ give me the impression to simply be a printed covering)

 

At Le Mans Classic 2023, a few weeks after car 51 won, the one displayed was not the real one, it also had a plastic transparent fake steering wheel.

At Retromobile 2024 early February, it was the real one....at least so it appeared.

Don't forget that after the second LM24 victory in 2024 Ferrari had both the 2023 and 2024 winners displayed (in a room with large bay windows) at Fiorano. They may well have retired one or both of them for posterity.

Still your idea of a film showing squashed mosquitoes and grime is interesting....

 

Yep, that's true.

 

Here to conclude this off topic episode both LM 2023 and 2024 winners displayed at the Cavallino event in Italy this week in the old livieries (different on this year's cars). Photo copyright Cavallino.

They have clearly been retired for safe keeping and display as the pieces of major Ferrari history that they are. Rightly so.
