I'm still not sure... here are the Brianza pix I promised anyways. This model is 1:14 scale and retailed for just over 2400 USD a few years ago. It is simply amazing!     | |||

It's the car in this link, do a search for "yellow gto" on this board, it came by here many times. http://www.macio.org/FerrariDay/index4.htm | |||

I do not believe this is a model... details are too crisp and features are unique to this car such as the rear deck lid that is not like a production 288. A modell will be an exact duplicate of a 288, this is not. The gravel size is large, but I think is consistent to what I have seen when in Italy.. If this was a scam, it would be alot easier to use a "stock" 288 as the "carrot"... | |||

Carlo Brianza made a large scale model of the 288. Barring the motor photo, I bet thats what is pictured in the link. I have a few pix of this model saved on my PC at home, I'll post them later tonight. Nice catch with regards to the tarmac gravel LOL. | |||

that wouldn't be that difficult this day in age with the technology we have, and it does look extremely clean for an 18 yr old engine + bay, maybe it's just me being cynical (and maybe a touch jealous!!) | |||

If it is a model (and I can see what you guys are saying) then the under bonnet deal is fantastic  Pete | |||

I agree, something from the photo's does not look right, either the tarmac is using huge gravel or its a model car. | |||

Not sure whether it's just me but the way the photos are taken it looks as thought the car is about 4 inches long? | |||

"It has just 9650km, all of which was undertaken by Ferrari test drivers" which means its had the life wrung out of it and hasnt been driven since 1985...... | |||

Good question, but if I won around $5 million US, I'd add it to my garage!!! Awesome, and as much as I hate equating cars to money, this car is not going to depreciate. Pete | |||

The car is discussed here before: http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/251280/272908.html http://www.ferrarichat.com/discus/messages/251280/278372.html "How do you put a value on this?" I don't know, 10% more than a regular GTO? 1.3M Euros seems a little steep, 4x normal value. This is one of the prototypes from a period Auto Motor und Sport magazine:   | |||
