This
auction is for an original Ferrari handbook supplement (Guida di
consultazione rapida) which would have been destined for an owner, in
the Italy market (and possibly
other Italian speaking), of an F430 as an addition to the full standard handbook.
The F430 debuted at the Paris Motor Show in the autumn of 2004, replacing the 360 Modena, and was produced until 2009 when
Ferrari unveiled the 458 Italia. The new V8 powered, 2-seater coupé, as with
the 360, took its name from the 4.3 litre size of its engine.
The
book, measuring 10.5cm x 21cm, opens
out concertina-fashion to 6 times this size allowing 10 small inner pages to hold the
information chosen by Ferrari from the main handbook. All of the text in this version is in Italian only.
This,
as the name conveys, is a shortened version of the full handbook bringing
together the instructions covering the main controls and functions of the car
but supplements the full handbook rather than, in any way, replacing it.
The factory catalogue number on the rear
‘cover’ reads Catalogo no 2091/04
(I) - 1a Edizione Ottobre ’04, but with no specific print quantity quoted.
The
bracketed letter I, for Italy, is unusual for factory catalogue numbering but
is consistent through the series of differing text versions of this book.
This VERY
RARE (due to the limited requirement for country-specific markets), almost 20 years old and owner-unused, book is in very good condition with minimal
markings of any kind.
Please feel free to contact me for any further
