Interesting Autograph but I suspect it is only someone doodling Ferrari G on that book and no one of significance. I checked my 88 warranty book and do not have anything like this. A search on the web found nothing as well. But interestingly to me, this name was still used on this book in 1988. (Societa per azioni esercizio fabbriche automobili E Corse) We know its not Enzo Ferrari's signature. Dino was not around but Piero does not autograph like that. Enzo Ferrari first son was named Alfredo after his grandfather. He was called Alfredino = "little Alfredo", which turned to "Dino" for short. Piero Lardi Ferrari is the second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari and presently 10% owner of the Ferrari automotive company where he is also Vice Chairman of company. His mother was Enzo's mistress, Lina Lardi. As divorce was illegal in Italy until 1975, he could not be acknowledged as a Ferrari family member until the death of Enzo's wife, Laura, in 1978. His legitimate half-brother, Dino, died in 1956 of muscular dystrophy. Key Dates: 1929: Enzo Ferrari founds Società Anonima Scuderia Ferrari to buy and race cars. 1940: Enzo Ferrari ends his association with Scuderia Ferrari and establishes Auto Avio Costruzione, which was initially involved in making aircraft engines. 1947: The design and manufacture of Ferrari sports cars begins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *1960: Company is restructured as a public company and incorporated under the name Società Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili E Corse Ferrari--SEFAC S.p.A. Early 1960s:Ford agrees to purchase the company but the deal falls apart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1965: Company is renamed Ferrari S.p.A. Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse. 1969: Fiat purchases 50 percent interest in Ferrari and takes control of passenger car operation; Enzo Ferrari retains other 50 percent and maintains control of motor racing operation. 1988: Enzo Ferrari dies; Fiat increases its stake in Ferrari to 90 percent. 1989: Company is renamed Ferrari S.p.A. 1992: Luca Cordero di Montezemolo is hired to head Ferrari, and launches massive overhaul. 1997: Fiat sells 50 percent stake in Maserati to Ferrari, which gains management control over Maserati. 1999: Ferrari gains full ownership of Maserati.
Just looked at mine and attached is what i have as a signature, its on the inside cover page of the warranty book, different to what is posted above. The warranty book is dated 1st April 2007. Mike, thanks for posting the date changes. I am really interested with what happened in 1992, when Luca Cordero di Montezemolo was hired to head Ferrari, and launched a massive overhaul. What did he do and how did it affect the cars? Many thanks, Peter. Image Unavailable, Please Login
