Finding a long lost Ferrari is like a lottery win. Tom Shaughnessy of San Clemente, California is such a very happy lottery winner. And this time the lottery was eBay! On June 20th, 2006, Shaughnessy bought in an eBay auction what was described as a Devin Sports Spyder of the 1950s, with a fiberglass body similar to a 750 Monza Ferrari. |

| 30 | Spa Ferrari Days presents a cornucopia of Ferrari races and activities Marcel Massini, Henry T. Kistler, Arnaud Meunier Arnaud Meunier There is almost too much to do and see at this annual gathering at Spa, but no one seems to mind. Ferraris come from all over Europe for the F430 Challenge, the Historic Challenge, some Club racing and demonstrations by Factory supplied drivers and cars. This year there was an additional treat, the European start of the Corse Clienti FXX and F1 events, where owners of these cars are specifically attended to, and carefully watched over by, personnel from the Factory. | |
| 31 | Notizie | Ferrari as the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the top as usual Goodwood, England - July 7-9, 2006 Marcel Massini, Keith Bluemel Helmut Schnug Rapidly becoming one of the largest motoring events in the world, the Goodwood Festival of Speed now attracts over 150,000 attendees over three days, and they are not disappointed, with hundreds of authentic race and rally cars making their way up the long driveway at the Goodwood estate, or at a new rally stage in the woods, or on static display near the House.  14. Goodwood Festival of Speed United Kingdom, 6 - 8 July 2006 |
| 31 | Notizie | Modena Cento Ore Classic attracts some choice examples Modena, Italy - June 17-20, 2006 Marcel Massini Now in its seventh year, this even is entered in Modena, Italy on purpose, as a testimonial to the great automotive heritage found in that city, going back to the dawn of the automobile. From manufacturers to parts suppliers to designers to mechanics to restorers, Modena has a much automotive cachet in Italy as Turin. |
| 34 | Notizie | New Tour Inter Europa explores Germany Ferraris at the Tour Inter Europa & Concours d'Elegance, July 20-23, 2006 Keith Bluemel, Helmut Schnug "Inter Europa" is a magic name, having been attached to some famous events, both race and rally, over the years, and has gathered entrants, many with Ferraris from all over Europe, naturally. A new evens has taken on the name, and this first rendition was pronounced a success by all who participated. The Helmut Schnug organized and Ferrari Owners' Club (GB) promoted event took place in the Eiffel region of Germany, over the weekend of July 20-23. |
| 35 | Notizie | FOC National Meet & Concours brings out many Ferraris, including "the gems" July 1-2, 2006 Keith Bluemel, FOC UK The first weekend in July most of the country was sweltering under a heat wave, which bode well for a good turnout in the summer sun. Attendees were not disappointed, neither by the eclectic array of models in attendance, or by the choice of venue. The annual FOC Concours is rarely held at the same venue in successive years, and this year was no exception, with Club Secretary Peter Everingham once again finding a "new" historic country residence to form an elegant backdrop to the proceedings. |
| 36 | Otto | The Fiorano fulfils all requirements to be a speciale, and this one more than most Exploring the early V-8s The F355 Spider "Fiorano", or "Serie Fiorano" as it was also known, was a clever piece of marketing by Ferrari, and they can't be faulted for that, because it solved a small but chronic problem that faces all automobile manufacturers - what to do with the last cars in a model run, when buyers hold out until the new model arrives. Fortunately, Ferrari discovered that while the lure of the new is basic to humans, the lure of the special and unique is equally as string. |

| 41 | Feature | L'Unico A look at the 166 MM/53 Pinin Farina Berlinetta, s/n 0346 M Keith Bluemel Keith Bluemel, Alexis Callier The second series of 166 MM models was produced in a series of thirteen examples during 1953. I think it would be fair to say that the original series, with the majority of them wearing the unmistakable charismatic barchetta body style, really put the Ferrari name on the international map. The new 166 MM model for 1953 was introduced for private clients to contest the two later sports racing class, which was becoming an increasingly popular category for private "gentleman" entrants. |
| 50 | Feature | Eduardo Lualdi-Gabardi - Italy's mountain king The racing life of this extraordinary gentleman Marcel Massini R. Drescher, Attualfoto Bologna, A. Ceci, Courtesy Marcel Massini, Franco Zagari While browsing through some old Italian car magazines of the 1950s, a name popped up again and again: Edoardo Lualdi-Gabardi. In Auto Italiana magazine of 1958, I even found a short article about this Italian gentleman driver from Busto Arsizio, a small town near Varese, Italy. Of all the Italian privateers who entered Ferraris in the 1950s - Eduardo is without doubt the most prominent, most charismatic and most successful personality. |
| 63 | Guida | A Guide to all Ferraris produced Plus the market as of October 1, 2006... from a survey of selected dealers Keith Bluemel The Monterey auctions have come and gone, and there were plenty of them - Christie's, Bonhams, Russo & Steele, RM, and Goodings - but the Ferrari content was surprisingly low at all of them. This is partly due to the fact, covered in last issue, that the market now is centered around the muscle and show cars, not only here but all across the USA. That is where the speculation is, where the buzz is, where the entertainment is. |
