Why a spotting guide?

"The Ferrari 250 GTO is not just a single car – it is 36 individual works of art, each with its own story, its own shape, its own colours. I wanted to create a book that allows enthusiasts to recognize every GTO at a glance, and also invites them to enjoy the challenge of spotting them all.”
