4.0 out of 5 stars Essential reference; facts, figures and that's about it, December 23, 2005
By Jon Warshawsky "Sinatra Guru" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If you're in the market for one of Ferraris covered in this book, you'll find Bluemel's work indispensible. If you want a coffee table book, it's not bad for that either, but ultimately the tables and detail photos overwhelm the pretty car pictures.

The newest 328 is already more than 15 years old, and Bluemel's book will give you a benchmark for how a well-kept, original car ought to look. This is more important than you might think, as the Ferrari owners 'circle' really does care about originality and honest preservation -- if you're a buyer, you'll undoubtedly be more educated after reading Bluemel. Production for the 328GTS, easily the most successful regular production car in this period, was only 6000+ cars over 5 years - paltry compared even to niche companies like Porsche. The Ferrari world is a small world, and an expensive one in which to make mistakes, so consider this your essential desktop reference.

While there is some commentary interspersed regarding aesthetics, there is close to zero information on driving and maintenance, and it is certainly not a buyer's guide listing the weak spots of the various models. Also, even car fanatics are unlikely to read this straight through, as it discusses all aspects of the cars section by section. So unless you plan to go to be reading about the tires and wheels on the 348, for example, it is largely a reference. But at that it is quite a good one, and it gets pulled from my shelf frequently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rather focuses on F40 and 288 Gto., October 28, 1998
By A Customer
The book is very nice and very well done. The best I ever seen so far. I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting more in depth information about the Ferrari 308 GTB 1980 Steel version. The book is really complete about the F40 and the 288 GTO. But with the 308 GTB for example it does not describe what type of exhaust systems were on this particular car, not the optionals that could be chosen for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent source book, September 10, 1997
By jtza@intranet.gr (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
A great sourcebook that focuses on the Ferrari V8 line of cars. The presentation is excellent with top quality photographs. The accompanying text is a pleasure to read and contains a wealth of technical data
