From the first Ferrari 125 S in 1947 to the Ferrari 590 GTO of 2010, the automobiles of the Cavallino Rampante (prancing horse) have marked the history of motoring on the roadway as well as on the racetrack. The fascinating line; the inimitable red of the chassis, now become paradigm; the power and unmistakable sound of the V8 and V12 engines have made, and continue to make, the automobiles produced at Maranello, in the province of Modena, a veritable legend on the road as well as a symbol of Italian excellence. Cars of refined style, the work of illustrious planners and designers like Pininfarina, Bertone, and Vignale, Ferraris are dreams come true for lovers of four-wheeled vehicles, and veritable cult objects for appassionati and collectors around the world. Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the prestigious automobile company, said: 'The best Ferrari ever built is the next one'. It's a legend that continues to renew itself.

Unique pieces, chassis no. 1, or strictly Italian prototypes, on which the greatest designers and coachbuilders from the past have experimented pioneering solutions: choices that foretell future fashion phenomena and stylistic canons.

This is why it is the most important collection in Italy and one of the most prestigious in the world. Frequently, they are masterpieces that have long been forgotten, but through skilled restoration Lopresto has salvaged their bygone splendor, because he, an architect by profession and collector by passion, is in fact an automobile archeologist in love with his vehicles.

This superbly illustrated book brings together more than fifty of the most significant British cars designed between the early twentieth century and the present. Each model – starting with the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost of 1907, famed for its exemplary reliability, and concluding with the Jaguar XK180 of 1998, a breathtakingly attractive concept car – is a milestone of British motoring heritage. Beginning with an introduction that charts the often tortuous story of the British car industry and the development of its legendary marques, the book goes on to describe each car's history, design and performance. Accompanying the lively commentary on each model are exquisite images by one of the world's foremost car photographers, including exterior shots taken from different angles and close ups of the interior and engine and other design details. Also featured are biographies of the influential designers of the last century, a full technical glossary and a directory of museums and other collections worldwide where the cars may be seen.

Spanish Marquis Alfonso de Portago swaggered across the international motor racing stage for a stunningly short time, but left behind a legend and legacy like no other racing driver before or after. His tragic and high-speed death in the Mille Miglia ended that event, and took the lives of nine spectators as well as his own and his friend and co-driver. That alone was enough to guarantee a place in racing notoriety. But motor racing was only one of his many achievements. He had spent years as an international equestrian. He twice ran at the Aintree Grand National as well as the Gold Cup. His unceasing curiosity and daring bravado saw him tackle the Cresta run at St. Moritz and his Spanish Olympic bobsleigh team for 1956 finished fractions of a second out of the medals. Over the last 50 years, many myths and fantasies have found their way into print about the nature of the man and his activities, on and off the sporting field.
