Classic & Competition Car, November 2025

'In describing in detail the processes by which these three very special Ferraris came about, the book is very well illustrated with many of the photographs having been taken by Michael Lee and the author James Taylor, with some 150 titles already to his credit, tells the detailed story behind the cars' construction very well indeed.'

Classic Car Weekly, October 2025

'Such lavish cars deserve lavish books, and author (and occasional CCW contributor) James Taylor has definitely delivered that. The Bamford Ferrari Specials looks at the design, creation and driving experience of the trio. Just three machines they may be but there's a lot of story accompanying each, which Taylor tells extremely well, assisted by more than 160 high-quality photos/ There are also interviews with Lord Bamford and other involved with bringing the Ferraris to fruition. Taylor's usual deep levels of research characteristic are matched by an equally absorbing narrative.'

'It's a fascinating tale of making perhaps the ultimate petrolhead fantasy – that of a truly bespoke Ferrari – become reality not once, but thrice.'
