Book excerpt: The 250-series was an early Ferrari success story and in 1959 spawned one of the most recognisable sports cars ever built. It is now also one of the most coveted. The 250 GT Berlinetta (aka SWB, ‘Short Wheelbase’) had a dual role as supreme grand tourer and outstanding racing car. Chassis 2689GT, the subject of Ferrari 250 GT SWB, was purchased by amateur racer Pierre Dumay on behalf of his friend Pierre Noblet – who had written off his previous 250 GT SWB in an accident at Clermont-Ferrand. Shortly after taking delivery, Noblet and co-driver Jean Guichet took the new car to a class-winning third place overall in the Le Mans 24 Hours – the dawn of a relatively brief, but very bright, competition history.

Download or read book Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO written by James Page and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Ferrari GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and -- for those lucky enough to have experienced this -- peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO's illustrative reputation has made it the world's most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.

Book excerpt: First seen as the course car at the 1960 Le Mans 24 hour race, the elegant Ferrari 250 Gran Turismo 2+2 Pininfarina, or GTE as it has become known, was Ferrari's first four-seat production car and an outstanding commercial success, underwriting the company's racing activity. Built upon the same running gear as the iconic Ferrari 250 two-seaters, the GTE continued in production until 1963, by which time 954 examples had been built. Initially popular as a "gentleman's express," the car was typically finished in conservative colours which emphasised its stunning lines.But after a few years and several owners they were sadly often neglected and came to be regarded simply as donors upon which to build replicas of other Ferraris. Thanks to the efforts of a number of enthusiastic owners who have dedicated themselves to maintaining, restoring and preserving these wonderful cars, about half of them still exist today as GTEs, valued for their beauty and history. In researching this definitive history of the model, the author consulted with respected Ferrari historians, enjoying access to their archives. He traveled extensively to view and document more than 125 examples of these cars around the world. The book is published in a limited edition of 750 copies to celebrate the 60th birthday of the three Series of the 250 GTE.

Book excerpt: The Ferrari 250 LM was born of controversy. Enzo Ferrari wanted this compact mid-engined coupe to qualify as a GT car for world championship racing. The FIA, motor sport’s rule-makers, disagreed and this new model, of which just 32 were made, was forced to run as a sports-prototype in 1964 and 1965. To everyone’s surprise, the LM was to dominate the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1965. 6313, entered by Ecurie Francorchamps, led for much of the race and finished second after a tyre failure in the closing stages. It was the high-spot of a busy season for a car that, 54 years later, is well-known as a successful contender in historic car racing. Author James Page covers the genesis of the 250 LM and its development, its technical details and specification, and the ongoing row about its homologation as a GT car. 6313 was driven at Le Mans in 1965 by Pierre Dumay and Gustave Gosselin, and led the race through Saturday night and Sunday morning, only to suffer a tyre blow-out with less than three hours to the finish, allowing the NART 250 LM of Jochen Rindt and Masten Gregory to take victory. For many years the identity of 6313 was confused with its team-mate 6023. Detective work by Ferrari specialist Keith Bluemel, consultant on this book, clarified the situation. This book unravels the mystery. The book is profusely illustrated with period photographs and documents, and a gallery of studio photographs of the car as it is today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most successful and highly regarded cars ever produced. Built purely for racing, the 250 GTO dominated the Grand Touring racing category in the period 1962–64 and raced in all of the world's sports car classics, including Le Mans. Ferrari built just 40 production cars, and almost all were raced. Because of its sheer beauty, its immensely successful track record and the relatively small number of cars built, the 250 GTO is among the world’s most valuable cars and examples now change hands for sums in excess of $10 million.

Book excerpt: This magnificent book tells the story of a Ferrari 250 GTO with a particularly interesting and varied history. The car, chassis number 4153 GT, came fourth in its first outing at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1963, and won the 10-day race-cum-rally Tour de France in 1964 with Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger. It competed in almost every form of motorsport, including the Angolan Grand Prix, Africa in 1964, and endurance racing, hill-climbing and rallying in 1965, entered by the great Belgian team Ecurie Francorchamps. In 1966-69, it raced in Spain with owner Gerard Delgado and his friend Eugenio Baturone, a period that is described here for the first time. All this is covered in fascinating detail, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.

Download or read book Ferrari 250/Gt written by Jim Riff and published by . This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 140 pages and more than 120 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a 2024 revised and expanded edition of Jim Riff's personal notes for the service and maintenance of the Ferrari 250 series. It includes repair data applicable to the 250GT, 250GTE, 250GTL, 250SWB and other similar models. After publishing Jim's original '250/GT Service & Maintenance' notes in 2006, we began to search for additional documentation relating to this series of Ferraris and we were fortunate enough to acquire copies of the factory 'Laycock Overdrive Service Manual for the 250GTE/330GT', plus additional Weber and Marelli documentation appropriate to the 250 series. This information has now been appended to Jim's 2006 publication to produce this revised and expanded 2024 edition. In addition, we were also able to obtain copies of the factory 250GT 'Directions for the Use and Upkeep' (owner's workshop manual) a 250GT 'Spare Parts Catalog' plus a copy of the 250GTE 'Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook'. We have now compiled these three items into a single publication under ISBN 9781588502940. Obviously, while there will be some cross-duplication of the information contained in Jim Riff's manual, this additional compilation of three factory publications can be considered to be an extension of Jim's work and, when used in conjunction with each other, they create the most comprehensive service, maintenance and overhaul manual available for the Ferrari 250 series of automobiles. Owners and enthusiasts of these early Ferrari automobiles may also find ISBN 9781588502728 a 'Ferrari Handbook' to be of interest. This publication contains technical data and statistics for the majority of the 1948 to 1958 Ferrari road and race cars. It also includes 60 pages of component drawings, wiring diagrams, lubrication and brake schematics, exploded views etc. for those early models.

Book excerpt: FULL CIRCLE: A Hands-on Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO may be the first car memoir - a car revered for its international racing performance and artistic mystique - the first Ferrari 250 GTO, born in Italy in 1962. It is also the memoir of a man, himself unique - Larry Perkins, a rocket scientist /car racer /artist. His stories chronicle how The Car (a.k.a. "Sophia" named for the elegant Italian bombshell Sophia Loren) pops in and out of his life. These events, and the people associated with them, create a series of full circles in their shared journey. Full Circle: the past becomes future becomes past, illuminating words to the famous song... "When Everything Old is New Again". While Larry was working on the Apollo program to land a man on the moon, and later the Viking Mars Lander program and other space missions, Sophia and Larry had an on-again off-again relationship - an "affair" so to speak - for over 50 years. They found each other in 1963 and formed a surprising dynamic of man-machine synergy. Life was fast and furious, fun and full of trophies. When it seemed destined to be over, Larry sold the Ferrari in 1966 for a mere $3600. The racing duo lost track but were re-united and then parted again. Finally ... unbelievably ... Sophia found Larry when they were both a little older. With the spark alive, their racing history was re-born in a most spectacular way. Each was transformed by the other. The memoir starts with a man searching for the perfect race car and develops into a previously unrecorded history of s/n #3223 GT with racing tales. Larry and his wife, Petra, tell of an irresistible GTO attraction and adventures during the exciting era of '60s sports car racing. (Petra first saw the Ferrari at a memorable race with a fiery crash at Sebring, Florida, when she was 15, but did not meet its driver for 15 more years.) The authors show the exhilaration of key races and an anecdotal chronology of #3223 with photos, some never seen. They examine what a race driver is really like, the attributes of a highly competitive personality, and the unrelenting dedication to Winning. After all, it was not easy for a small privateer - someone who had started racing relatively late in life (with a consuming day job) - to compete with the likes of racing champions Phil Hill, Pedro Rodriquez, Mario Andretti, and Dan Gurney. The book emphasizes the value of teamwork. "Doing the impossible" - in racing or rocketry - demands the best of humans working together to render perfect machines. This is an intimate account about the people who made The Car what it ultimately became. How did this car acquire its timeless aura of mystique? How cool is it to drive such a powerful and exquisite piece of machinery? To what degree can a car be considered fine art? What happened to Larry and why did it turn out to be so spectacular, almost eclipsing his early successes in racing the GTO?When and Where did all this happen? And best of all, Who are the passionate people that made it happen? Full Circle: A Hands-On Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO answers these questions and provides readers with a thrilling personal play-by-play of racing the very first Ferrari GTO for the very first time.
