Ferrari Prototype Era: 1962–1973 in Photographs
By Alan Henry
During the ’60s and early part of the ’70s, Enzo Ferrari focused much of his racing efforts on winning the prestigious “prototype” category in professional sports car racing. The results of this quest were some of the fastest and most evocative racing machines to ever leave the Maranello workshop. In Ferrari Prototype Era, David Bull Publishing takes a photographic look back at this pivotal decade in Ferrari race history.
From the first mid-engine V-12 sports cars—the 250P and 275SP—to the mighty 512 and the 312PB, Ferrari Prototype Era examines each car, its drivers and history through rare high-quality photographs presented in a large, “art book” format. With brief introductory text and captions by Alan Henry, the history and background of each model is highlighted, while the “Anoraks” amongst us will be pleased to learn the chassis numbers for each car shown are also included.
While a bit pricey at $79.95 (£39.99), this book is beautifully produced and will be a must-have for any Ferrari or sports car racing enthusiast. Available from David Bull Publishing at (602) 852-9500 or online at www.bullpublishing.com
