With text presented in Italian and English, Abarth Memories is an intimate and colourful portrait of the fabled tuning and racing firm. Interviews with more than 50 former employees at Carlo Abarth’s factory from 1949 to 1971 present an oral history of the company that goes beyond its technical prowess to give an inside look at everything from the development of the first tuning components and boardroom deals to Abarth’s successful racing career. Gathering so many individuals in one book is an impressive achievement and their stories are supported by a wealth of previously unseen archive photographs. Abarth Memories is a fascinating behindthe-scenes glimpse into a company too often depicted in race statistics. RK ISBN 979-12-200-0132-8 www.abarthbook.com Hardback, 240mm x 260mm, 240 pages
