    Funny, I was about to open a thread on this... same winds coming from Portugal :)

    Bought the old series first book and I'm almost «in shock» with the treasure I've found!

    anyone have more information on this Automobilia publication? too many errors?

    you, Kalidengas? do you have a lot of numbers?

    They put a certain number of them into a Series, then start a new one.....

    Not aware of any news on the publisher......

    Ferrarissima original series went from 1-25 with #25 being the hardest to find.
    New Series went from 1-19 and stopped there.
    I have a spare NS17 if anyone is interested.

    Just to add to Nathan's post. Publishers Automobilia went bust last year.

    I think that #25 is the hardest to find. That was my experience when trying to complete my set.

    The number 25 is the hardest to find, no question.

    I started collecting over 10 years ago but am not finished as yet. I am lucky to own almost all numbered issues of the first series (including #1 and #25) but am looking for issues from the second series.

    There are some bookshops in Holland who have some in stock so i guess it won't be that hard to complete my collection. I know about bookshops in England ass well who still sell Ferrarissima so if you look good you might be lucky. Make sure you don't by the limited reprints.

    (Funny by the way to see so many variations of the name Nathan in one thread...)

    Original #1 & #2 are on Ebay now, and come up regularly. (No #25s on there though). I eventually got my #25 through Ebay, and #25 was not reprinted - it is only available in the original #/5000 series.

    I agree the #25 of the first series is the most difficult to find. Took me some time also.

    Please note when buying books from the first series Ferrarissima you buy one which is complete with all the gadgets that came with these books. There are some very nice things published for these books like manuals , drawings , brochures etc. You should get these when you buy the book.

    So to sum it up:
    Ferrarissima started in 1984:

    Old series 1 - 25 (special 10 years #20, #25 hard to find some even doubt existence LOL)

    Old series reprint 1 - 5 (1000 copies)

    New series 1 - 19 (special 10 years #15 in gold)

    The series folded with #19 (FXX, 599 and 248 presented).

    Any corrections are welcomed!

    There is a full set in FerrariAds right now for a pretty good price, IMO.

    Not sure which series, take a look.
