| 18 | Notizie | A Proper Station Wagen Ferrari 456 GTA Venice Marcel Massini The Sultan of Brunei is rumoured to have an extensive collection of Ferraris (true), many of which had custom bodies made by Pininfarina (true).

| 18 | Notizie | Spider Prototype spotted Ferrari 360 Modena convertible Carel Ruigrok There is a 360 Modena convertible in the works, everyone agrees on that, but when will it be seen? There were plans to continue the popular F355 Spider, alongside the 360 Modena berlinetta, but this has been cancelled. Seen on the streets of Maranello was this 360 with a decidedly unusual top, a metal canopy covering ... what? |
| 20 | Notizie | The Castiglioni's celebrate 15th Anniversary Reading Ferrari Concours Of the Reading Ferrari Concours that is. This charming couple, Pietro and Vicky, have been bringing Ferrari people together for many year, for no other purpose than for everyone to have a good time. |

| 20 | Notizie | Don't cry Lodewyk Alexander Laws in nearly all countries require new models to be crash tested - front, rear, sides, and rollover - and Ferrari is not excepted. And the mules can't ever be fixed up and sold. It's hard to see these 348s and 456s sitting forever so forlom and forgotten, but what really hurts is that F50 in their midst! |

But what exactly was the Tourist Trophy? |
| 29 | Feature | Berlinetta Sebring SEFAC Hot Rod, s/n 2455 GT Alan Boe Alan Boe Ferrari was not content with building the best GT berlinetta on the road and track; they designed an even better car - faster, lighter, more competitive - the SEFAC Hot Rod. We present a look at these rare machines, and one chassis in particular. |

A general history of s/n 0748 TR, and a chance to drive it and experience the enchantment Marc Sonnery Marc Sonnery We've covered these cars many times in Cavallino, but never had the chance to drive one in captivity and report back. Now we've gotten a hold of a good chassis, and found some open road to travel. The euphoria is real indeed. |
