Ferrari 250LM: The remarkable history of 6313 £30

The story of this Ferrari, a car that proved to be surprisingly competitive at Le Mans – and almost took the win in the hands in the hands of Ecurie Francorchamps in 1965 – is brought to life in this latest entry in Porter Press’s ‘Exceptional Cars’ series. Detailed information ranges from its initial conception, engineering and race history all the way through to its current historic motorsport career. You may recognise it from the 2002 Goodwood Revival, in fact, where almost its entire rear was ripped off in a crash. It’s a good read for classic Ferrari fans, with 128 pages packed full of period images, technical drawings and stunning modern photography, giving good value for the reasonable £30 asking price.
