| 12 | Commento | Spares The history, theory, and practice of the Ferrari spare parts David Clarke Courtesy of David Clarke I have always maintained that a restoration shop stands or falls on the availability of spart parts. This can be difficult enough if you are working on only one make of car - if you are doing several then the problems become compounded and nightmarish. Moto manufacturers, quite rightly, usually lose interest in their products when they are anything between five and ten years old; after all, they are in the business of making and selling new cars, not keeping old ones patched for too long. |
| 14 | Notizie | Ferraris at the Genova Trade Fair January 30 / February 7, 1993 Keith Bluemel Keith Bluemel This was the third year that the Genova Trade Fair has been held, each one having a principal theme. The one for this year being Ferrari and Pininfarina, who together occupied the complete main exhibition floor. Pininfarina used the exhibition to inaugurate the celebrations for the centenary of the birth of Battista (Pinin) Farina, the company founder. |

Nine Ferraris of various types were on display at Geneva. Show for the first time in Switzerland was Ferrari's new 2+2, the 456 GT of which two examples were presented to the public. |
| 15 | Notizie | Zagato's FZ93 Lilo Kistler, Henry T. Kistler Marcel Massini The 1993 Geneva Motor Show was the event chose for the presentation of the FZ93, Zagato's latest interpretation of a mid-engined coupé. The FZ93 is also the first working prototype to be built entirely under the guidance of Ercolo Spada, who rejoined the Zagato Group as chief designer in September, 1992. |
| 16 | Fotografia | A treat from Jesse Alexander Luigi Chinetti Jesse Alexander The photo shows Luigi Chinetti, Sr. holding the prototype model of the 1:14 scale Ferrari 166 MM Barchetta, produced by Creative Miniature Associates of Stamford, CT. This is a model of the car with which Mr. Chinetti won Le Mans in 1949, Ferrari's first Le Mans Victory. |
| 18 | Buon Umore | Minor Miracle in the Sebring mist How the TR59s got to Sebring Frank Grimaldi Students of the classic references on Ferrari racing cars will remember that the TR59s, though brand new for 1959, were evolutionary refinements of the 1958 Testa Rossa's. These cars finally used disc brakes, and weight reduction was a major focus of the work over the winter. In addition to the disc brake weight savings, the Factory used magnesium, rather than aluminium, for many of the engine castings. |
| 30 | Feature | 330 GTC; The First Modern Ferrari Part one of its history Dyke Ridgley Mark Jennings The Ferrari of the 1990s is so very different from the Ferrari of the 1950s. Along with increased reliability and durability have also come vastly better creature comforts and ease of driving. As the world has changed, so also has the focus of the cars. The Ferrari of today easily handles traffic congestion of large cities while keeping both engine and occupants cool and comfortable. Compare this to the reaction of an early inside plug, drum brake Ferrari in the same situation. It is hard to tell who would overheat first, the car of the driver. |
| 30 | Feature | Collezione Maranello Rosso An exclusive tour of this great Ferrai museum and an exciting ride in one of its treasures, the 250 GTO, s/n 3851GT Guy Mangiamele, Sandra Lodi Vetrano Guy Mangiamele At Misano, just south of Rimini, I waited in the infield of an autodromo. The rain had nearly stopped and the temperature was in the low 40s. At the far gate, a 250 GTO came into view. Coming toward me across the huge paved lot, the tail twitched noticeably under first gear acceleration. The driver touched third before braking hard and stopping the car a few feet from where I stood. The wail of the engine stopped abruptly, and after a few seconds a man stepped out. |
| 36 | What is the Collection? Collezione Maranello Rosso Sandra Lodi Vetrano The Maranello Rosso Collection is an all embracing yet individualistic exhibition on the origins, the development, the technical and stylistic evolution of the Ferraris that have most contributed to make the House of Cavallino become large and famous. It is a unique collection due to the theme it presents. A truly wonderful parade of "Horses"; twenty six cars, restored and perfectly functionable, accurately chose among the most desirable "reds" of all time. | |

You've read all the gloomy press reports about winter testing bering erratic and inconclusive, and you've seen the desultory results of the first few races of the new year, and you've hear the wild rumors about Ferrari quitting Formula One - is an era well and truly over? Not likely. |
