Hi all,

I am currently in the draft stages of a book project which over looks my time with Ferrari. The book looks at the cars I have seen and my experience with them, the events, the companies that work with Ferrari and memorabilia. All content is by me and features around 150 individual cars.

However, some of the photos were taking a fair while ago and even though they will be featured I would rather have better photos. I am also looking for some cars that I am missing.

So trying to reach out to anyone who can help. If you would want to know more about the project or can help please message me! Currently looking for local cars as Bournemouth based but I am happy to travel.

Thanks in advance.

List to date:

Evening all,

Thank-you to all who have responded privately so far. A few questions have popped up that I thought I would answers for anyone who might be interested.

1. Can we see the book?
Because it is still a work in progress I am keeping it to private viewings but if you would like to see it, this can be arranged. However, I have now created a webpage which shares some Behind The Scenes: View Here

2. Can't I just send you my photos?
Regrettably no, it is based around my experience and my art so I will need to take the photos myself. You can use my photos after though.

3. If I offer my car, is the photoshoot free?
Yes, this is self funded by me. If you would like to help support me and pay for prints that would be great, but not essential.

4. I have looked at your list of cars, why do you need mine?
I have shot many cars, but I still need more content and variety. Example. I could have a 360 manual in rosso corsa and a 360 F1 in Blue pozzi, same model but dramatically different cars. Variety offers opportunity.

5. When are you looking to launch the book?
Trying to currently nail down a few more cars, but hopefully will be looking for publication around autumn.

6. My car is modified, do you still want it?
I am open to modified cars. Race modified, tuning companies like Novitec or custom builds like the DDE F12 or Paddle Up F40 show great examples of people stepping out of the norm.

Any more questions, please feel free to ask. Really appreciate the offers so far.

Hi, all...

Since my last update the book has expanded quite a bit and is taking on shape nicely and in talks with many specialists about supporting it.

I am now up to around 196 individual models. However I still require more variants and ideally gap fills. If you would like to take part I would be grateful!

This is the official project Click Here

Draft versions of the book are now available to view upon request.

Looks like an interesting project.

One thing I would say, is to get a proper editor for the text. The grammar on your web page is a bit off in some cases.

Looks like a great project, I have an excellent and very reasonable proof reader if needed.

Cheers. I have gone back over it again and edited a few things I had missed. If there is anything you have noticed which is glaringly obvious please drop me a DM. Thanks!

Thanks! Please drop me a DM with their details. I will be the first to admit that grammar is not my strong point so any help would be appreciated.
