I will try and scan them at my office tomorrow. All 10 pages of it. Can you imagine a car mag now, devoting 10 pages to a foundry, even if it is Ferrari! It was a special on Ferrari by Grand Prix International. Not a mainstream publication even back then

it'd be much appreciated if you could

Yes, it makes an otherwise reasonably priced purchase somewhat expensive !

I've heard of crate engines but crate cars 6m.55s

So the Ferrari factory are making Ferraris again..

.. Quite a contrast to the '70s factory. The masks are somehow quite apt for the almost clinical environment.

the sight of those Boras and Meraks at Maserati hit the sweet spot for me.

Those Meraks are so lovely, I adore the flying buttresses and vents on the engine lid. So much prettier than it's hefty sister, the Bora!

I assume most have seen this film ? I bought the original VHS copy of it new some 35 years ago ...

Ten years on (this on the basis they were producing the 288 GT0) from the previous film, Maranello must have seemed more akin to NASA for those working there, especially when compared to the chaotic scenes filmed back in '74 !!

Thank you for posting that, interesting viewing.

Having compared Lancia and Ferrari castings from the early to mid-70's to my non-professional eye the Lancia ones were much better quality.
