My Driving Seasons - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

An exclusive portrait of a classic automobile collection that will make your heart race.

This gorgeous volume highlights a selection of thirty-five legendary European cars meticulously customized for the collector Omar Alfardan and now on display in a new museum in Geneva, Switzerland, designed by architect Gabriele Maria Rossi of Archilab. The cars are also captured in their natural element, on the road, over the course of four seasons and framed by majestic Alpine landscapes. Picturing pioneering masterpieces by Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, BMW, Aston Martin, and others, these stunning photographs are accompanied by comprehensive descriptions by noted driver and automotive writer Jethro Bovingdon. Interviews with Alfardan himself, as well as the museum's architect, offer a testament to these luxurious, custom-built machines and the speed, style, and grace they embody.
