Let Me Sell You a Ferrari
The moment in 1958 when a sports car-crazed youth in Massachusetts saw his first Ferrari changed his life. The black 250 GT coupe's seductive lines, purposeful air and already hallowed name seized Robert E. Guarino's imagination; just a few years later, he would be selling such cars. And in 1967, with two partners and an investment of just $6,000 apiece, he would open a Ferrari-Porsche-Datsun dealership. This memoir follows his lifelong journey with Ferraris and other remarkable automobiles, as an enthusiast and dealer. Highlights include a nonstop drive from Chicago to Boston in a 308 GTB; rides with important figures like Piero Ferrari at Fiorano and Dario Benuzzi at Mugello; visits to the Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini factories; the horror of watching a delivery truck crash onto a row of new cars; and time at the wheel of such icons as the 365 GTB/4 "Daytona," 250 GTO, 288 GTO and F40.
Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO
Ultimate Ferrari GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and -- for those lucky enough to have experienced this -- peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO's illustrative reputation has made it the world's most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.
Ferrari 250 GTO
This magnificent book tells the story of a Ferrari 250 GTO with a particularly interesting and varied history. The car, chassis number 4153 GT, came fourth in its first outing at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1963, and won the 10-day race-cum-rally Tour de France in 1964 with Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger. It competed in almost every form of motorsport, including the Angolan Grand Prix, Africa in 1964, and endurance racing, hill-climbing and rallying in 1965, entered by the great Belgian team Ecurie Francorchamps. In 1966-69, it raced in Spain with owner Gerard Delgado and his friend Eugenio Baturone, a period that is described here for the first time. All this is covered in fascinating detail, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.
