Ferrari by Hans Tanner 5th Ed

Ferrari . . . Ferrari . . . FERRARI! There is no other word in the automotive dictionary capable of conjuring up so many images and feelings . . . such emotion . . . amongst lovers of fine racing and road cars. Enzo Ferrari, the greatest entrepreneur in his field since Ettore Bugatti, has elevated the design of Ferrari cars to an art form which can only be truly appreciated by the real connoisseur. Enzo has given not only his name to his cars, he has also given his soul. The story of Ferrari is an incredible saga, for this is a company which has been governed by Italian temperament and inspiration rather than a 'safe' committee. Swiss journalist and racing enthusiast Hans Tanner lived Ferrari history in Modena, being a friend and neighbour of Enzo and his factory, as well as a one-time employee. Tanner's Ferrari was first published in 1959 as an intimate and highly detailed view of the complete Ferrari story from great successes through to failures and tragedies. He subsequently enlarged and updated his work through three further editions — all sell-outs — before his death in 1975. Now this extraordinary history, Tanner's Ferrari, has been extended and updated by Doug Nye, the internationally respected British journalist and leading authority on sports and racing cars. Doug is also a consultant to the unique Donnington Collection of single-seater racing cars. This edition remains faithful to the original Tanner text which has now introduced generations of enthusiasts the world over to Ferrari the man and his fabulous cars. The text is accompanied by extensive appendices of Ferrari race results, driver statistics and comprehensive technical data on the cars themselves; all tabulated for the most demanding of enthusiasts. Tanner's Ferrari in this fifth edition remains the orginal source work by which all other Ferrari histories must be measured.PRODUCT DETAILS Albaco SKU#: zb028d Year: 1979/1982 Month: Day: Language: English Prod # / ISBN: 0854292381 Author: Hans Tanner & Doug Nye Brand / Manufacturer: Haessner Poublishing Dimensions: 542pg Description: Hard Cover

Ferrari by Hans Tanner 1st Ed 2nd Pr

2nd printing of the 1st edition of this classic book by Hans Tanner.In this book the aothor not only provides a complete racing record of the famous marque, from its inception in the racing stables of Alfa Romeo, but gives also informed technical descriptions and tabulated data of all Ferrari types and engines including Grand Prix, Sports and Touring cars. The racing results and performances are also tabulated in considerable detail in the appendices. Enzo Ferrari, today perhaps the creator of the world's most exciting motor cars, builds to a standard of engineering and artistic excellence that concedes nothing to manufacturing cost or expedience. His creations are in many respects comparable with the masterpieces of the great Ettore Bugatti, though probably owing more to engineering and less to art, and many of them will undoubtedly be preserved and treasured as are the gems from Molsheim. His racing history inevitably includes many of the greatest names and these pages pay worthy tribute to the memory of such famous drivers as Ascari, Collins, Fangio, Farina, Ginther, Hawthorn, Phil Hill, Nuvolari, Von Trips and many others, without whose indomitable courage and determination even Ferrari's cars could not have succeeded.PRODUCT DETAILS Albaco SKU#: zb028r Year: 1960 - 1st Ed, 2nd Printing Month: Day: Language: English Prod # / ISBN: Author: Hans Tanner Brand / Manufacturer: Dimensions: 212pg Description: Hard Cover
