Hi all,

My name is Damian. I've reached out to the community before for help, and I’m hopeful there are more willing members who can assist once again.

I’m currently writing a book about my experiences with Ferrari. It covers the models, collectibles, events, museums, paraphernalia, racing, and more. Over the last two years, I’ve made real progress with the book, but there’s still more I’d like to include before moving it beyond the “draft” stage.

I’m looking to connect with owners or active members of the Ferrari community who could help me fill in some gaps. Specifically, I’m looking for:

Cars – All models and variants welcome, preferably as close to factory condition as possible. I currently have over 350 different models documented, but the more I can photograph, the better. I’m especially looking for a 208, 308 Dino, 365 GT4 BB, 365/400, and Mondials. I’d also love to photograph more sports prototypes outside of an event setting.

Collectibles and paraphernalia – I want to include plenty of detail in the book and highlight some of the unique items Ferrari has produced over the years, such as paint sample cases, Tasche cases with material samples, and the special edition Acer laptop. I’m aiming for those “Oh, I didn’t know they did that!” moments.

Non-car items – Ferrari engines have appeared in a variety of non-automotive applications. If you have something unusual like this, I’d be very interested.

Mechanics – Engines, gearboxes, assemblies – if you work with Ferraris, I’d love the opportunity to get hands-on with you. If you’re working on a car restoration or project, it would be great to see the process and various stages involved.

Unfortunately, I can’t share a link to the book here, but feel free to drop me a DM and I’d be happy to share my credentials. Please see some images from the book below.
