The Ferrari Under the Bed A Memoir and History of 0046M

Darrell Westfaul owned Ferrari 166 Mille Miglia 0046M for forty years, buying it as his first car when he was twenty-one. What followed were over five decades of searching for its past owners and its history with them. This book is his gathering of obscure and previously unknown information about a Ferrari that led a life of successful competition and then traveled widely in retirement, reaching three continents and crisscrossing the Atlantic. Had it simply remained as originally built, it would have been a rare and important car, but the changes it underwent have marked it as unique and historic. This book delves into those changes and the reasons behind them, accompanied by scores of previously unpublished photographs. Not only is there a detailed competition history, but also the words of men who raced it, transcribed from their own voices. In addition, there are conversations with other men and women whose lives intersected with the Ferrari. But, in a larger sense, this book is the story of a man and his car and their time together.
