Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Lots and lots of Ferrari manuals and documents available online

[David (david]

We (www.ricambiamerica.com) have the newer cars' parts manuals online and
are in the process of working backwards. We are back to 1989 and currently
working on tr, 328, and Mondial 3.2. The images are a decent size, but
clicking on them brings it up in full resolution, and although this varies
from car to car, it is at least 1024 x 600.

As for naming cars, well, my 355 was SOOTIE, as was the license plate. It
was black on black. The Mondial t is "Bluey" as it's red. Any Aussies on
here will understand that one :)

... and for free.  There are literally gigabytes and gigabytes of Ferrari
documents available at various sites on the 'net.  Most if not all owner's
manuals have been digitized into pdf files (downloadable from the Ferrari
Owners Site).  Some workshop/repair/service manuals, some parts manuals.  A
few wiring diagrams.  Lots of homologation certificates, both FIA and
Italian.  Tons of press materials.   Some technical specification documents.
Of course, some models have a lot, while others have little or none.  To a
true gearhead, this is weekends worth of casual browsing and reading. 

If reading it on a computer screen doesn't float your boat, you could always
just print it out (or if you want some authenticity, by a set from Doug),
but I've found that having it all stored on my laptop is invaluable (e.g.,
being able to pull out a 355 workshop manual while at the track!).

Again, all available for FREE!!!  Check out the Ferrari Owners Site,
SteveJ's site, or use your friend Google (there was a guy in England hosting
a site with a lot of this stuff, and some materials for other marques too).
Not too hard to find.  

vty,

Not quite true. My 81 308s USA parts manual has Italian and English. 
I've seen it on SJ's website, too.
