A collected volume bringing together magazine articles on three small Italian manufacturers; the cover sums it up in a line: «this book takes a look at these three italian cars including their racing record». For the English publisher Unique Motor Books, Colin Pitt gathered road tests, race tests and cutaway drawings from motoring magazines over the years and reissued them arranged by make. OSCA – Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili – was founded by the Maserati brothers in 1947 near Bologna after they were no longer allowed to use their own name; Stanguellini in Modena built racing and sports cars on Fiat foundations and dominated the first years of Formula Junior; Moretti in Turin moved from motorcycles to cars of its own and finally to bodies for others. Of the 72 pages in A4 format, fourteen go to Moretti. On the firm's own history this directory holds «Moretti. Motociclette, automobili, carrozzerie» by Alessandro Sannia, «Moretti 1928-1986» by Alberto Fornai and «Moretti story» by Mario Ruberi; on Formula Junior there is «Formula Junior» here, likewise published by Unique Motor Books.
