Ferrari 308 GTB Rally Car
A book on the Ferrari 308 GTB as a rally car has been published by Antonio Biasioli. Filled with lots of period photos, it describes the story of the Michelotto built Group B and Group 4 cars, season by season. Apart from the fantastic pictures, there are several interviews with period drivers and other witnesses of the time period. If there is anything to criticise at all, it might be the lack of technical details regarding the competition modifications of these cars.
Definitely a must-have for any 308 GTB enthusiast. Written in Italian and English language. 22 x 30 cm, hardback, 184 pages.
