Lemoine, Courtesy of FF Galleria Jacques Swaters, founder of the justifiably famed Garage Francorchamps, the official importer of Ferraris to Belgium (and Luxembourg) for forty six years announced recently that he has sold the business to Maranello Concessionaires, the longtime importer of Ferraris to Great Britain.

| 21 | Feature | Ferrari at Le Mans 1998 Ferrari takes a first and third in class at the French 24 Hour Classic John Sinkgraven John Sinkgraven Although there were no official Ferraris at the race, it was still very interesting for Ferrari enthusiasts around the world. As many as four Ferrari F33 SPs were entered by private teams. All four entrants had their own approach to preparing for the event and small aerodynamic differences could be seen among the teams. Most notably, the Jabouille Ferrari featured curved extensions on the rear body panel, classifying the car as a "long tail" and slightly increasing its top speed. |
| 26 | Feature | A California Privateer Beverly Spencer Roy Spencer Courtesy of Roy Spencer In that golden era, it was possible for a man of taste and vision to buy great Ferraris and go racing. The life and times of Beverly Spencer - one of the most notable California private entrants. A special time recounted with devotion by his son. |
| 32 | Feature | Four-Cam reborn Ferrari 275 GTB/4 Scaglietti Berlinetta, s/n 10711 Richard Fritz Benjamin F. Bailar Having your Ferrari restored in Italy makes sense when you have Ferrari's former crafstmen doing the work. They are still there, retired, but still active, still bending metal. Restoring a car in Italy requires patience, but the rewards are well worth the wait. |
| 40 | Feature | Pinin Farina takes a Gamble This 250 Europa GT, s/n 0403GT had interesting features that would bear fruit a decade later Marcel Massini, Jess Pourret Marcel Massini Ferrari's early coachbuilders would often try new design ideas, some good, some not, and others were before their time. |

| 47 | Corse | Surprise Ferrari winner at the Tour Auto Tour Auto - Paris to La Rochelle, France - April 15-18, 1998 Keith Bluemel, Marcel Massini, Pierre Goossens, Andreas Meiniger Andreas Meiniger Ferrari participation in this popular event on the classic calendar, which is the first major European sortie of the year, was, as in previous years, high in numbers and quality. Within the two hundred plus cars that gathered in the Trocadero Gardens, in a distinctly chilly Paris, for technical verification on Tuesday, April 14, were a total of thirty eight Ferraris. |
| 48 | Corse | Mille Miglia attracts the finest - again 16th Mille Miglia Storica - Brescia-Rome-Brescia - May 14-18, 1998 Marcel Massini, Pierre Goossens, Vincent Yernaux, Henry T. Kistler Andreas Meiniger, Vincent Yernaux, Henry T. Kistler The variety of early Ferrari models at this Italian classic is always rewarding, and 1998 was no exception. Warm sunny days and cool nights gave everyone a pleasant time, with only localized inclement weather. The most important gathering point is tech inspection at Brescia, where all the cars are on display, with owners, drivers, mechanics, families, enthusiasts, etc. in attendance. |
| 49 | Corse | Spa Ferrari Days reaches tenth year Pierre Goossens, Hugo Garritsen, Andreas Meiniger Andreas Meiniger, Hugo Garritsen This Ferrari extravaganza attracts the best cars and drivers from all over Europe (and from other continents as well) to the famous Spa circuit on the first weekend of May. It was rainy and foggy for the three day event, which included the Ferrari Shell Historic Challenge, the F355 Challenge, and the races for modified Ferrari street and/or race cars or recent vintage. |
| 50 | Corse | Historic Racing reaches U.S. David Seibert Alan Boe This is not quite true, as many Ferrari owners have been racing, as opposed to parading, their cars at vintage events in America for many years, most notably at the Monterey Historic Races, but recently the first race was run here of the Shell Historic Challenge, the exciting series that has proved to be very succesful in Europe. |
