Main feature and cover car: 2006 599 GTB Fiorano s/n 166417
In this issue we tell the story of the 599 GTB Fiorano, launched at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show.
The 599 GTB Fiorano, a two-seater with a front-mounted V12, is now the dream of youngtimer
collectors. It is fast, beautiful, classy, and fun to drive… and, in its several evolutions, it is shaping
the younger collectors’ market. The featured specimen is one of the most original in existence, and
has always lived in Italy. Originally sold in Turin, it was ordered in Nero Pastello over Nero leather
interiors and equipped with several optional extras: charcoal colored 20” rims, CCM brakes, yellow
brake calipers, and Recaro seats with Daytona style inserts. Now with a different owner, it has
covered just 28,000 kilometers. Linked to this main feature, the issue includes a full analysis of all
the special 599s, from limited series to one-offs, both road legal and racing-only versions, and also
an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the background to the making of the 599—the story of when
Pininfarina gave Modelleria Stola the 1:1 scale model, to be used to create whatever was needed to
take the 599 from paper into production.

look at the non-road-legal specials.

This car is the very first “non-racing” Ferrari officially sold in the UK and it is now the centerpiece
of the Haynes Motor Museum. Originally shown at the Earls Court Motor Show, painted in Bianco
over Nero interiors, it was sold to Major Desmond Fitzgerald, the 29th Knight of Glin. During its
second ownership, 1963–1964, it was painted in gold before being returned to Maranello
Concessionaires. Subsequently painted in black, it changed hands a few more times before ending
up in the custodianship of the Haynes family and being restored.
Link to main feature: an interview with Tony Willis of the precious Maranello Concessionaires
Archive, which he saved from destruction in 2004. The story of every Ferrari sold in the UK,
identified by serial number, is recorded in this archive, which, as we saw, provides an amazing
overview of the success of the brand in that market.
Focus On: For a couple of decades, Garage Camellini was the place to go. Founded by Mario
Camellini, a personal friend of Enzo Ferrari, it was the very first Ferrari dealership in the world.
Located in downtown Modena (where else?), it sold and serviced an amazing, almost unbelievable,
number of ex-works Ferraris. Unsurprisingly, a handful of these, carefully picked, never left the
premises and are now part of the Camellini collection. Umberto Camellini, Mario’s son, grew up
with the collection as part of the family. What’s more, at weekends he would get to play at Enzo
Ferrari’s country house, and have lunch with very special customers, like Robertino Rossellini and
Ingrid Bergman. That’s when (at just 14 years old) he was not driving 250 GTOs to get ice creams.
Drive them: 200 K miles in a Ferrari 355 GTS… this is the result of one man’s passion for driving
his first Ferrari. American Kevin Enderby tells the story, and describes the hard life, of his 1997 355
GTS, s/n 109333. If you want to learn more about the pros and cons of such intense use, this is the
feature for you!
One-Off: Today, the prancing horse is an amazingly well-known trademark, but back in the early
1900s, it featured on the fuselages of fighter planes. Specifically, the ones piloted by Italian flying
ace Francesco Baracca. But, even for him, the logo was not “original”, given that he took it from the
coat of arms of the cavalry regiment he had belonged to before training to be a pilot.
An exceptionally in-depth look at the origins of the Cavallino Rampante, including the new discoveries made only in recent times.
Corsa: This column reports on the WEC Qatar 1812 km, won by the Ferrari works team “Ferrari
AF Corse” with the 499 P, and the first four races of the 2025 F1 season.
Eventi: ICE Hot is our report from the ICE, the “International Concours of Elegance” held in Sankt
Moritz on the frozen lake. What a show and what a charismatic event!
Finally, as always, Cavallino brings you the voices of several editorialists, discussing a variety of
topics, as well as a full and updated list of Ferrari market values (also of the latest models) compiled
by specialists analyzing the values and market trends of different Ferrari cars.
