| 16 | Mercato | Mercato The market as of December 1, 1998, from a survey of selected dealers |
| 18 | Corse | Long secluded Prototype reappears Junichiro Hiramatsu Junichiro Hiramatsu This chassis started life as a 1966 Ferrari 330 P3, with that lovely fluid body, and it was s/n 0844. In 1967, it became a 330 P3/4, or 412 P, and at the end of 1967, it then became Ferrari's first attempt at a CanAm car, with the mechanicals remaining the same, but with the body modified to a truncated spyder form. After a few races, it went to Chinetti and eventual to collector Walter Medlin, where it sat in a warehouse untouched for twenty years. |
| 18 | Corse | F333 SP benefactor retires ... again Denis L. Tanney Giampiero Moretti told Ferrari that if they built the F333 SP, he would buy them and race them, and he did. The Momo sponsored cars have had great success for four years. Moretti now said he wanted to retire, and now he has, but only after winning one final race, the USRRC six hour endurance at Watkins Glen in August. |
| 18 | Corse | Historic Festival entertains Japan 2nd Neko Historic Automobile Festival - Japan - September 22-23, 1998 Junichiro Hiramatsu, Marcel Massini Publisher Kenji Sasamoto organized the Neko Historic Automobile Festival at the new Honda-owned Twin Ring Motegi circuit in September.

| 20 | Corse | Bemused, bewildered, beside ourselves - the season ends FIA Formula One Championship Marc Sonnery    |
| 21 | Feature | Ferrari 312 P - how this prototype came to be Part III - at the beginning Paolo Marasca, Mauro Forghieri Marc Sonnery "The 250 P, which Ferrari introduced at the Geneva Auto Show this year will not be driven, not even for one meter on the road ... this is a race car that will never race." Once again, Enzo Ferrari renewed the position that the Maranello firm had made at the end of 1967, when it was decided that for the following season Ferrari was not going to participate in the Manufacturers World Championship, to protest the position taken by the International Sports Commission (CSI) against the small constructors. |
| 26 | Feature | Olivier Gendebien - a remembrance 24 January 1924 - 2 October 1998 Michael T. Lynch Tom Burnside Another link with Ferrari's glorious decade of the 1950s has been broken with the loss of Olivier Gendebien on October 2nd. Gendebien was from a prominent Belgian family and lived an adventurous life even before he began motor racing. He saw World War II action in both the Belgian underground and as a paratrooper in a British regiment. |
| 32 | Feature | Verde Scuro Carbriolet The colorful and quite agreeable life of s/n 0611S A Alan Boe Denis L. Tanney One of the first things you notice when an automobile captures your attention is its color. In the case of Ferrari, more often than not these days that color will be red, but it was not always that way. Going back to the 1950s and into the 1960s, the vast majority of Ferraris built for the road were not painted red. That was the color reserved for Ferrari's pure competition cars, since it was, and is, the Italian national racing color. |
| 38 | Feature | Goodwood - A step back in time Goodwood rewinds the clock and succeeds Michael T. Lynch, Keith Bluemel Michael T. Lynch Goodwood, the estate of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, has a sporting tradition established when the first Duke, the illegitimate son of Charles II and Louis de Keroualle, purchased the property for a hunting lodge in 1697. Goodwood, the flat track for horse racing, was built by the third Duke in 1801 at the top of the Sussex Downs above the house, and remains in operation today. In 1928, Frederick Charles Gordon Lennox became Lord March. A motor racing enthusiast, Freddie was an excellent gentleman driver. |
