Ferrari 275 GTB #08011

This is a beautiful book filled with many beautiful photographs of the restoration process. For these, the book should be praised and deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in 275s or Ferrari restoration in general. Furthermore, there are very few books about such restorations and so for that also, the book should be praised.However, and this is the reason I give it fours stars and not five, this book has provides very little insight. Anyone with a fleeting knowledge of the 275 and its variants will learn nothing from the initial pages. Instead there are multiple quotes from other Ferrari books; all of which I have. I count only 8 pages of text on the restoration itself which was pretty disappointing to me. Those 8 pages also felt as if they were dictated via a a quick phone call made some time after the restoration was completed.The answer is maybe on page 15: "I was unable to go to Bruce's shop during the restoration so he just sent me pictures of the work". This perhaps explains why the book is devoid of significant narrative about the restoration.

This car is fascinating to me, and the detailed de-construction photos are extremely helpful in understanding its construction.

WONDERFUL book - highly recommend

Perfect

Worth every penny

Pretty book!

a complete waste of paper

The book has great angles and beautiful spreads of the car before,during and after it's resurrected to it's former glory.Highly recommend it to any Ferrari Fan and any Automotive enthusiast.

No real substance to this book - nice pictures. Would not purchase the balance of the series.
