    I'm looking for a magazine that was around 85/86 maybe even 87, that was a special Ferrari issue, all I remember is that it had the Ferrari line up for that year in it and it was VERY well done, kinda artistic in the photography. I remember reading it over and over, I was like 13 yrs. and spending hours looking at the photos. That magzine was what lit my Ferrari passion and I would love to find a copy of it. Anyone else remember this, I wish I knew which mag published it, It was nothing but ferraris, kinda a collector type issue, any info would be greatly appreciated.........thanks........

    I'll check the magazine at home... as per the index there is an article on the 328. Dont know if i'll have access to a scanner tomorrow (Unfortunatly i dont have one at home), so the pics here on FChat will have to wait till Monday.

    sorry for the delay.... but here you go...
    i hope they turn out here... for some reason i can't see FChat's photo-uploads here at work... they just upgraded me to explorer 5,2 and FChat got screwed up...

    and they call it an "UP"-grade... sigh...

    oh man, nope wrong pics, :-( thanks for the scan though, were those taking from the 1989 issue with the F40 headlight on the cover ? Love that cover.

    in the one I remember, the photos were more picture book type, but was soft cover like a magazine.

    are you referring to symbol magazine? it was predominently ferrari motorcars but other marques were also featured. in addition to cars, it had features about other luxury type things such as travel , wines, etc...

    it was kinda like a modern day robb report without all the ads. the magazine was large (about 12x14"). the paper staock was nice as well as the printing. it was a very "photographic" type magazine.
