Ercole Spada Presse-Information Bart Lenaerts, Lies de Mol Ercole Spada 1. Auflage 302 Seiten, Format 29,5 x 29,7 cm, gebunden € 98,00 (D) / € 100,00 (A) ISBN 978-3-7688-3874-0 Delius Klasing Verlag, Bielefeld Stiller Meister Als er 1960 im berühmten Mailänder Karosseriestudio Zagato seine Karriere startet, ist Ercole Spada noch vollkommen unbekannt. Trotzdem wird der junge Designer sofort mit Entwürfen für renommierte Autohersteller wie Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Lancia und sogar Bristol beauftragt. Auch in der Folgezeit setzen vor allem sportliche Marken auf seine Kreationen. Spada verfolgt nämlich von Anfang an ein Ziel: Aerodynamik, also Funktion und Effizienz, in ästhetische Form zu bringen, wie dieser opulente Bildband eindrucksvoll belegt Obwohl dadurch zahlreiche Rennsiege auf sein Konto gehen und er später für die Carrozzeria Ghia, für BMW und das Designstudio I.DE.A. arbeitete, ist er noch heute kein Boulevard-Star. Er ist eine stille Persönlichkeit, zeigt sich selten vor großem Publikum. Umso erstaunlicher, dass Motorjournalist Bart Lenaerts für die Arbeit an diesem Buch Zugang zu ihm gefunden hat. Ihm und seiner Frau, der Fotografin Lies De Mol, gewährte Ercole Spada intensiv Einblicke in sein Archiv, in seine Arbeitsweise und in seine kreative Seele. Mit diesem exklusiven, liebevoll gestalteten Bildband können Enthusiasten der Automobil- Kultur nun daran teilhaben. Die Autoren von „Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve been drawing cars“ präsentieren mit diesem umfangreichen Bildband ein weiteres, sehr persönliches Automobil-Design-Standardwerk. Ercole Spada ist unter anderem Schöpfer der „Codatronca“-Heckform (Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ etc.) und entwarf bei BMW mit Claus Luthe die 5er-Reihe E34 sowie die 7er-Reihe E32. Heute betreibt er mit seinem Sohn Paolo das Designstudio Spadaconcept mit Sitz in Turin.

  • 15 Questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA
    15 questions to Matthias Hinz and Michael Maasmeier of SCUDERIA AZZURRA Please introduce yourselves and your company. What is your company’s field of expertise? Maasmeier: My partners Matthias Hinz and Lukas Mühlemann are passionate classic car lovers – just like me. We have been collecting classic cars for decades. This passion for classic cars has brought us together, regardless of national borders. We have long been looking for the perfect restoration, but our expectations remained unfulfilled. Eventually, we decided to take matters into our own hands and founded SCUDERIA AZZURRA. We are offering classic Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Lancia on the international market. All cars have been restored in top condition exclusively by us in our own workshop. Using original components, we restore the cars completely, from car body, engine and gearboxes to technology. When did you fall for classic automobiles? Was there a key experience in your childhood/youth that turned you into a classic car lover? Hinz: I bought my first classic car, then a rather modern classic, at the age of 18. It was a 1968 VW Beetle Convertible. With the help of an alleged expert, I gained a first insight into car restoration. I discovered my passion for Italian sports cars in the early 90s. I read an article on a Lancia Flaminia Touring Coupé in a magazine for classic cars and it was love at first sight. I was so excited that I took the next opportunity and bought one in the US, without even looking at it beforehand. Maasmeier: My father was a true sports car fan and owned a Jaguar.

I came upon the marque in my general course of business in the motor trade and have become as enthusiastic as my customers about Aston Martin and their products. My son Matthew and I with my first Aston Martin There is an aura about Aston Martin, a heritage far beyond simple statistics. Winning at Le Mans, victory in the World Sportscar Championship, the Zagatos and Royal patronage would be enough for any car manufacturer. Aston Martin goes beyond that – every car has its character and every owner, real pride in his or her car. Any market place has pitfalls for the unwary and opportunities for the unscrupulous. What I have tried to produce is an overview of Aston Martin cars that can act as an introduction to the marque. It is my view, coloured by my experiences and the use of my library of Aston Martin books as a reference.

The Adventurer II was designed and built entirely by Ghia as a styling exercise and was never meant for production. Its two-seat configuration was inspired by the Giovanni Savonuzzi–designed Supersonic series of sports cars. 2 Carrozzeria Italiana By Robert Cumberford hroughout its now-ended history as an independent coachbuilder, Carrozzeria Ghia always Tstood for one thing above all else: elegant luxury bodywork made to order on an individual basis, as exemplified by some of the cars you see on the field today.
