| 6 | Commento | Ferraris New ... Ferraris Old ... In out last issue, where we commented upon all the new and exciting projects Ferrari has scheduled in the years ahead, we also made mention of how elated the factory is over the present success of all its cars. The management at Ferrari stands back in wonderment at the ferocious demand for all the models, even the Mondial, and of course, there is much deserved back-patting over how well everything is going. |

| 21 | Feature | Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder Fantasy and Facts on a Superlative Sports Car Guy Mangiamele Guy Mangiamele All 250 GT Spyder Californias, of which perhaps one hundred were made, hold a special place in Ferrari's production history. They were among the fastest and most beautiful open cars that the company ever built. Produced for five years, and concurrent with models like the 250 GT Tour de France, 250 Testa Rossa, 250 SWB, 250 GTO, 250 GT Spyder, Coupé and Cabriolet, as well as the 250 GTE, the California was designed expressly for clients requiring race level performance in a street car. |

| 30 | Daily Transportation My Life with 1451 GT Stan Nowak Courtesy of George Carrick Gerry Butterfield called me from his Porsche dealership in West Palm Beach, Florida (this was about 10 years ago). Would I have any interest in a California Spyder that had been languishing in the oversized garage of a well-heeled Floridian? Of course, I said, and (always the optimist) why don't you take along a magnet. Some of those Californias did have all aluminium bodies! | |

| 32 | Twice Told Tales Ferrari - Alboreto - Monaco Winners in Spite of it All Paolo Mallepelle Thierry Thompson Here is the second in our series of great motor races, tales told before but always good in the retelling. This is the saga of a race run by a Ferrari and a race which Ferrari did not win, but a race which gained more glory for the House of Maranello that day than the actual winner. The year was 1985, fairly recent for a competition to be called a classic, but all the glorious and needed elements were there. | |
| 37 | Notizie | Ferrari Registers D.M. Ezmerlian, Bill Locke Most Ferrari enthusiast have an abiding interest in nearly all Ferrari models, but certain model types seem to tug at the heart and soul more than others. In many cases, learning all there is about a certain Ferrari is a must. This leads, naturally, to many individual efforts in garnering all there is to know about a type, but also everything about each of the cars that is of that type.

| 38 | Notizie | More Koenig Specials from Germany Alan Yorgason Wille Koenig has done it again. Not content with revamping Boxers and 308s, he has now performed a thorough job on the Testarossa and the 328. Two turbos have been added to the Testarossa motor, along with special radiators and water injection in the fuel system, to bring the power output up to 710 bhp at 6,300 rpm! |
| 40 | Notizie | Mille Miglia 1987 Marcel Massini The 1986 running of the Mille Miglia was an outstanding success, remembered with pleasure by all, and it was so good, there are plans to do it again. Run now as a "very fast rally," the next event ordinarily wouldn't take place until 1988, but fortunately, fate intervened in that 1987 will be exactly sixty years from the founding of the race in 1927. Can anyone pass up such a perfect excuse to run the race again next year? Of course not. |
| 41 | Notizie | Monaco, 1987 Any of you who have been on any kind of travel tour know what cattle trips they van be, especially it it's to an automobile race. Travel promoters' opinions of the average race fan must be the pretty low, but it's not really the best of fun to pay good money to go to a European Grand Prix to root on your favorite, and have to fly on an airline you never heard of, travel in cramped buses, and stay in small hotels away from the track that don't even qualify as quaint. |
| 42 | Notizie | La Festiva De Macchina Italiana Jerry McDermott Jerry McDermott The Labor Day weekend was a cause for any number of celebrations, but in Dearborn, Michigan, the annual Italian Car Show was the celebration. There were approximately 115 cars entered for judging with numerous Lamborghini, Maserati, numerous De Tomaso models, Alfa Romeos, and, of course, Ferraris (including three new Testarossas). |

| 45 | Corse | Formula one Year in Review The Good News is the Ferrari F1-86 is Okay; the Bad News is the Ferrari F1-86 is... Okay... Autosprint We have held off in the last few issues in making any general comments or observations upon Ferrari's racing problems, and its approach to them, because both the problems and the solutions changed from race to race, and the steps Ferrari was taking overall to improve things were shrouded in rumor at worst and in intelligent conjecture at best. |
| 47 | Corse | Mr. Ferrari speaks, the world listenes Ferrari looks to 1987 Alessandro Stefanini The Ferrari people are masters of public relations and promotion, and their special talent, refined to a very fine edge over many a year, is to work the motoring press and public into a very high state of excitement, as it anxiously waits each season to find out what Ferrari's plans are for the next year. The expectation has been especially intense over the past fe months, since Ferrari's fortunes have been at a low ebb and the team has actively sought talent from outside, both in the form of new drivers and new designers. |
| 48 | Corse | Gaston Andrey Racing keeps Ferrari Racing alive in America Courtesy of Gaston Andrey Racing If you follow Ferrari's racing history, you know that one important chapter is composed of all those gallant privateers who have taken Ferraris on their own to race track of the world and, in most cases, finished up in the points in a respectable manner. A more select group have simply taken the Ferrari engine and mated it to a responsible chassis, usually under the premise that if Ferrari itself won't make the car to fir a certain class of racing, the the privateers will. |
| 49 | Arte | The Modern Automotive Artistry of Thierry Thompson Jacques Vaucher The brush and airbrush paintings of Thierry Thompson are more than slick works of art - they are a fluent representation of the modern automobile. Although you cannot put a dollar sign on artistic significance, the escalating price tag on Thierry's work is evidence of the growing respect accorded him among automotive enthusiasts. |
| 50 | Modellismo | Ferrari Slot Racing models Dave Robidoux Slot car racing appears to have first stated in the mid to late 1950s. It would seem that while many toy manufacturers produced slot cars over the past years, the English firm of Scalextric was probably responsible for most of the early development of these toys. One of the earliest, if not the first, slot racing car was a Ferrari 375 F1 racer that was constructed by Scalex in 1/28 scale of tin. |
