Iconic Classic Cars

Few people have encountered the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Gullwing' that graces the cover of this book - the car once owned by Sophia Loren, with a history as fascinating as its design. Iconic Classic Cars is a tribute to some of the world's most exclusive classic cars, from the 1954 Maserati A6GCS/53 Pinin Farina Berlinetta to the American muscle 1965 Ford GT40, the sublime blue 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale and the razor-edged 1977 Lamborghini Countach 'Periscopio'. This book even features the legendary 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO and an authentic 1965 James Bond Aston Martin DB5, forever immortalised in Goldfinger .
