    Congratulations!

    Look forward to seeing it.

    I am elbow deep in book material right now and I am sure that when I don't look the paper piles are creeping closer to smother me:) so I know how you feel about having finished: champagne time!

    best regards,

    Marc

    Rob,
    of course! 2 cars were there and so they are featured!
    The book contains the individual history of each car, chassis-by-chassis!

    Enjoy!

    Ciao!

    Great news Walter, congratulations on your new book. Very much appreciated missing link in the chain of Maserati books so far. I hope you have plans for future projects as well.

    Nope!!! I am not the 250F-expert. This is definitely my friend, the one and only Barrie Hobkirk! But yes, I have plans for a 2nd book-project and don`t want to disclose here to much yet!
    Later.....!

    Thank you! I always wondered why nobody wrote a book about the 300S before. But I found out very soon that this is a highly complicated issue. So many cars were switched by the Factory with new bodies, some were re-numbered, borrowed or loaned to other drivers, then the Factory archive was very helpful on one side - on the other they had ...nothing (race-lists etc.).

    Then the "black hole" South America - in particular Brazil- it drove me nuts!!! Maseratis connections to South America would alone fill a book!

    Ciao!
