Description
Book Synopsis
A detailed history of the competitive life and retirement of the Ferrari 166 Mille Miglia 0046M. Darrell Westfaul owned the Ferrari 166 Mille Miglia 0046M for forty years, purchasing it as his first car when he was twenty-one. This was followed by over five decades of researching its past owners and uncovering the history they shared with it. This book results from Westfaul's quest to gather obscure and previously unknown first-hand information about a Ferrari that not only had a successful competition career but also traveled extensively in retirement. Over its lifetime, it reached three continents and crossed the Atlantic numerous times. Had it remained in its original form, it would have been a rare and significant car. However, the modifications it underwent have made it truly unique and historically important. This book delves into the reasons behind every change, offering as much insight as can be gleaned. This volume includes a detailed account of 0046M's competition history, with the voices of the men who raced it, transcribed directly from their memories, as well as conversations with others whose lives intersected with the car. Ultimately, this book tells the story of a man, his car, and the bond they shared over many years.About the Author
Darrell Westfaul owned Ferrari 166 Mille Miglia 0046M for forty years, buying it as his first car when he was twenty-one. What followed were over five decades of searching for its past owners and its history with them. This book is his gathering of obscure and previously unknown information about a Ferrari that led a life of successful competition and then traveled widely in retirement, reaching three continents and crisscrossing the Atlantic. Had it simply remained as originally built, it would have been a rare and important car, but the changes it underwent have marked it as unique and historic. This book delves into those changes and the reasons behind them, accompanied by scores of previously unpublished photographs. Not only is there a detailed competition history, but also the words of men who raced it, transcribed from their own voices. In addition, there are conversations with other men and women whose lives intersected with the Ferrari. But, in a larger sense, this book is the story of a man and his car and their time together.Dimensions (Overall): 11.02 Inches (H) x 9.06 Inches (W)
