Abarth Sport E Prototipi 1949-1971

Product description

LIMITED PRINTRUN OF 1200 unnumbered COPIES There was a time in which the Abarths, the cars carrying the Scorpion badge, were challenging far more powerful and prestigious marques such as Porsche and Ferrari in endurance races and the Mountain Championship classics. At that time, between the dawn of the 1950s and the early 1970s, the Abarths wrote memorable chapters in the history of sports car and prototype racing too, with cars of incredible appeal raced by drivers of international repute. Following the book devoted to Abarth GT racing cars, this volume, again written by Renato Donati, one of the leading Abarth enthusiasts and experts, focuses on the sports cars and prototypes. All the Abarths that have competed in the category, in particular in Italy between 1950 and 1971, are analysed one by one. As usual, the book is embellished by a wealth of previously unpublished black and white and colour photographs.
