Breadvan: A Ferrari to beat the GTO
Built as a Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheelbase Competizione before its radical transformation into the unmistakable ‘Breadvan’, chassis 2819 GT is one of the most fascinating Ferraris ever created. Breadvan: A Ferrari to beat the GTO tells the complete story of this extraordinary car, from its early life with Olivier Gendebien and its 1962 conversion by Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata, to its racing career at events including Le Mans and its celebrated second life in historic motorsport.
Written by Richard Heseltine, with contributions from Keith Bluemel and Nicola von Dönhoff, this beautifully illustrated hardback is packed with fresh research, period photographs and the kind of detail that makes it essential reading for Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors.
