The Little Red Racing Car tells the story of a vintage Maserati racing car that was abandoned in an old barn and discovered by a boy. Together with his father, they rebuilt the car and made an incredible discovery along the way: the old Maserati was once raced by the great Sir Stirling Moss! Called "The Best Kids Car Book Ever" by Yahoo! Autos®. Independently published and made with pride in the USA on domestically sourced paper.

When my son was born, I went looking for the perfect automotive children's book to share my love of cars with him. I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I decided to create it.
The Little Red Racing Car is a father and son story about a very special car, a real car, the Maserati® 300S. It was a winning racing car in the 50's and a favorite of a legendary driver by the name of Sir Stirling Moss.
While the story itself is fiction, it is full of truth and history. Part way through writing the book, Sir Stirling even lent his name to the story - and incredible kindness.
And inside the back cover, you'll find a completely accurate blueprint drawing of the 300S, which I've created complete with the specs of the car, and even the long lost mark of Carrosserie Fantuzzi, the Italian coach-builder that made the bodies for Maserati. The Fantuzzi mark is a story of its own, one that took weeks of research to track down, even with the help of the world's leading Maserati expert.
The story of a 1955 Maserati 300S once driven by the legendary Sir Stirling Moss, then lost forever... A car discovered by a boy, through a knothole just his height and rebuilt together with his father."One of those books you'll never tire of reading or having read to you. ...Wonderful, detailed artwork carries you along, adding to the richness of the delightful story. I love it." Jean Jennings, President & Editor-in-Chief: Automobile Magazine "I've read a lot of books to my boys but The Little Red Racing Car is easily our favorite... For a car guy Dad, The Little Red Racing Car is the definitive father and son children's book." Jamie Doyle, Founder & Publisher: Sports Car Digest
