Among collectors of Ferrari art, the Classic is now the place to come to see the very latest from ten top automotive painters and sculptors. |

| 16 | Buon Umore | Making a film about a Ferrari at speed is fun indeed ... until the law arrives David Clarke David A. Clarke Some readers of this article may have seen the 16mm film which I made back in 1965 entitled "250 GT". This was a film that was put together by myself and a colleague who was my assistant when I was a film cameraman myself, covering amongst other things during the middle to late 1950s, the whole of the East Midlands area of Great Britain fro both the BBC and the ITV. |
| 23 | Feature | The History of the 312 Prototypes - part One The intricate History of the reasonable succesfull but unfortunately very short lives 312 V-12 Prototypes Marc Sonnery Nigel Snowdon, David Brady, Courtesy of Marc Sonnery These superbly conceived bodies were the work of Ing. Giacomo Caliri, an aerodynamic engineer hired by Ferrari specifically to make the bodies an active participant in high speed penetration and stability, and not just a passive cover fro the chassis. As race cars became faster in this era, more air was forced under the chassis, and chassis lift was a serious problem. All efforts were directed to keeping the car glued to the road, and a whole host of wings, spoilers, airfoils, canards, and winglets were tried. |
| 34 | Feature | Ferrari 212 Mille Miglia s/n 0070 M The chronicle of Ferrari's first 212 model and Ferrari's only 212 Mille Miglia Alan Boe Bruce Carroll A few years ago a survey was conducted to determine how much international brand recognition various corporate identities commanded. Surprisingly, perhaps, the Ferrari name and corporate logo was one of the most recognized industrial symbols in the world, right up there with Coca Cola, IBM, and McDonalds. Forty six years ago, with the debut of the 212 series, the name Ferrari was well known only within a relatively select circle of individuals involved in European and American road racing, plus the occasional cognoscenti and the privileged few who could afford the newest, fastest car from post war Italy. |
| 42 | Feature | The Greatest Ferrari GT? Ferrari 250 GT Long Wheelbase Tour de France, s/n 0677 GT John Starkey M.I. Rosenthal, Courtesy of J. Sejnost, Courtesy of Ed Niles, Alexis Callier, Courtesy of G.P. Library, John Starkey If we take a look back almost forty years, we discover an era in which GT racing was heading towards its zenith and we find one man and his car utterly dominant. The man was Oliver Gendebien, arguable the fastest long distance racer of his time, and the car was a Ferrari 250 GT long wheelbase Competition berlinetta, better known, of course, as a "Tour de France". |
| 50 | Commento | What makes a real Ferrari? Gianni Rogliatti Ronald C. Hill In July 1993, the Italian Police visited several mechanical and body shops in northern Italy and seized a number of Ferrari cars in various stages of assembly. Subsequently, the Court of Justice in Modena has taken a dim view of the findings, so much so because there were some cars completely false, and others which can be considered as total rebuilds. I have been appointed by the prosecutor of the Court to sort out things and decide which cars were good and which not. |
| 54 | Modellismo | The magnificent machines of 1967 - their memory is now cast in bronze Mark Maholm Courtesy of Mark Maholm The Ferrari 312 is the second car in a series of three that I plan to build commemorating the Formule One cars and drivers from 1967. The first was the Gurney Eagle, and the third will be the Lotus 49 of Jim Clark. Each sculpture is assembled from more than seventy individually cast bronze components. In the proces known as "lost wax" casting, each piece of the car is transformed from its original wax carving by submersing or investing the wax part in a plaster-like foundry material. |
