Summary: Good overview
Review: A very worthwhile book giving the reader a good insight and knowledge of the cars. Well worth reading.

Summary: Good Basics
Review: As a 328 fan, I was a little disappointed that the 308 and 328 were combined into one chapter. There was not enough differentiation between models for the enthusiast in the text. The general lineage of the model was well explained from dino forward - but certainly not an 'encyclopedia' of facts and figures - more of a general overview of the range.

Summary: Ferrari Dino 246, 308, 328..: Good, but not Great
Review: The book was one of the first available on the Ferrari V8 family.
It's a bit light on technical detail, and the B&W illustrations make it hard to pick out fine features the serious enthusiast/restorer is looking for. As expected of a British publication, it has lots of info on European model variants, but neglects the US varients. It's also a bit dated as to it's statistics, manufacturing run data, etc. Newer publications have more comprehensive data that just hadn't been released by the factory when this book was written.A much better book is: "Original Ferrari V8" by Keith Bluemel, et al: color illustrations, well researched. I recommend getting BOTH. This is a good 2nd source.
It's still a good read & reference source. It has some 308 data that I haven't seen anywhere else.

Summary: Good overview
Review: This is the first "Ferrari" book which I have read. It has a strong UK emphasis and was first published in the 1980's so it's a little dated now. None-the-less it gives an excellent introduction to the marque and examines in some detail the production history and identifying features of the 246, 308 and 328 models
