Circolo will be supplying some professional photos of his car which is great.
He's also offered to write an article/piece for the book so if anyone else would like to do the same then do let me know.

Marko, what we writing about, dude? What's going in the book? Is it a history of the marque with nice piccies, or are you going for How To guides, technical data as well? I would find most useful our own Haynes-type manual (based on How To guides) but with nice repro and lots of pics of owners cars to illustrate different models and styling and tuning tweaks. Plus, obviously, a history of the marque. A sort of Mrs Beeton's Coop Cook Book. Without a structure there might be a danger we end up with a long list of owners cars with articles along the lines of "My car is great. It is the best colour. I bought it from Fred, who's looked after it real well... and so on"

My initial thoughts were to make it a mix of several things - some history for those who dont know about it, mixed with owners pics rather than stock pics (modded & un-modded) along with some articles written by owners.
It then appeals to us owners, those that are considering ownership, and the general car fan!
How to guides would probably warrant its own book and could be quick lengthy!
These are my thoughts, but the idea is for all of us to be able to chuck ideas in so although i'm organising it and putting it together, it will be a book put together by enthusiasts!

Just a tip, http://www.fiatcoupehistory.de contains a lot of information about the Coupes and their history. There's an english flag that turns it into english version as well... Interesting stuff, also fun to have a look at the accessory folders...

I'm sure he will - you supplied many! If so you need to pop your name in the group buy.

What happened to the Chris interview? Did you get any response from him? Will there be some Coupe history and info about the car in the book as well? Some content would be very nice, after all, I bet there's a lot of guys here that are willing to proof read or even write sections for you. Kind of boring to only have a picture book...

I've got the 4 page piece that Chris has written for me ready to go, interview was a 'maybe' but is looking tricky according to his PA due to his schedule. Wont just be a picture book, dont worry. I've got the written piece from Chris, an article from a forum member, and will have the facts, figures and details in, mixed with the pics i have. Ive also been in touch with Pininfarina and G Studio about contributing as well Phil - thanks for the pics.

@Mark: You did know Chris met the Italian Coupé Club back in 2006 at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este at lake Como and actually signed a few members' Coops? I wasn't there myself but do have a picture of Chris putting down his autograph on the dash of a yellow coop. Interested?

@Mark: ask Chris if he has any information about the three 300 bhp cars that where made by pininfarina back in 2000 (apparently as a study for the successor to be which failed due to EU emmision targets).
