Viaggiando per il Mondo |
The most incredible weekend of my Life
An account of what can happen when Ferrari friends are made

Juan Quintano whisked through hectic Madrid traffic to what must be a secret hiding place. It was an underground garage where he warehouses cars, for Juan is the Ferrari importer for Spain and the Ferrari dealer for Madrid.
We stepped through an unmarked door, only to see several 348s, 328s, a 288 GTO, a 275 GTB/4, and ten Ferrari F40s. Nine were brand new, but the tenth was for entertaining. |

Driving the Ferrari F40
Traveling with Ferrari around the World

As I had been one of the first American journalists to drive a 288 GTO, I was most anxious to try the F40! (This all took place before U.S. spec F40s arrived in America recently.) Unexpectedly, the key to solving this next to impossible problem came at the FCA Annual Meet at Watkins Glen when Katherine McClure introduced Carlyle Fraser and I to Juan Quintano, the Ferrari importer from Spain. |

Competition Daytona, s/n 15667
A test drive of one of the great Ferraris
Christian Rochet
Daniel Fayol
Let us go back seventeen years and relive the glory days of one of the last great race winning Ferraris, the Competition Daytona. Having had the please to test drive this thoroughbred, I experienced the same thrill as Claude Ballot-Lena and Jean-Claude Andruet, the winning team behind the sensational class victories at Le Mans in 1972, as well as in the Tour de France of that year. |

Ferrari 312 F1, s/n 0009
One of the nicest Ferrari V-12 engines ever, strapped to one of the neatest Ferrari chassis
Guy Mangiamele, Peter Coltrin
The motoring world applauded Ferrari's apparent quick jump on the new Grand Prix regulations of 1966. Three liter un-supercharged engines were specified and Ferrari has a working model, chassis, engine, et al, by late 1965. It was a beautiful machine admired by one and all, but what many failed to notice was that the glorious V-12 engine was not new, but a clever derivative of the 275 P 3.3 litre engine found in many of the racing prototype cars of the preceding years. |

Ferrari 212 Saga - my Life with s/n 0106E
The Joys and sorrows of owning an old Ferrari
David Clarke
David Clarke
The story of my very first Ferrari love, "the old banger" as I affectionately call it, the Vignale bodied 212 Export, s/n 0106 E. Never has I had a car which caused me so much aggravation and frustration, one which, like a naughty child, always seems to go out of its way to annoy and let me down, and yet I always, but always, ended up loving it, for this humble beginning sparked the start of a new era in life. |

Algar Enterprises - A Ferrari Dealer that helped to make history
Courtesy of Algar Enterprises
Algar Enterprise in Rosemont, Pennsylvania has been a Ferrari dealer for a very long time, as most of you know, but many many not know that in the not so distant past, the people at Algar, in the form of a separate company known as Chinetti-Garthwaite Imports, were the official Ferrari importers for the eastern United States. Looking back now, one can legitimately pose the questions, would the original importer survived without Algar's intervention in 1972? |
