Relive the grit and glory of Sicily’s legendary road race. David Owen’s "Targa Florio: Seventy Epic Years of Motor Racing" is a definitive account of one of motorsport's most dangerous and evocative events. Published by Haynes (G.T. Foulis) in 1979, this First Edition captures the spirit of the Madonie circuit before the race was removed from the international calendar.

Owen masterfully chronicles the titanic struggles of legends like Nuvolari, Chiron, and Moss, and the engineering dominance of Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, and Porsche. The narrative culminates in 1973—widely considered the last "real" Targa Florio—providing a poignant look at the end of an era.
