Book : Piero Ferrari - Mio Padra Enzo - 2+2 Automatic

This book got published in 2014. It's an interview story with Piero Ferrari about his father Enzo.

It's only available in the Italian language. In a small section they touchbase about Enzo's preferred Ferrari roadcar choice. According to Piero he loved to drive the 2+2's but to build and sell it were the GTs.

And also Piero states clearly it was Enzo who pushed for an automatic version.

See also these 2 blogposts regarding the automatic version used first for production on the 400 series:

I was curious regarding the publication of this directory. So I bought it, it did contain the following 400 owners back then and their details. And it does mention the VIN of the car as well. 

The last one I did recognize, I had a blogpost about it:
