Was there any GTO ordered with red dashboard inserts and black seats, or has this been modified on this car?? Caley
Just to give you the heads up that in the UKs December edition of Octane magazine out now. There is a 13 page spread/write up on the ex Ervine 288 GTO. Its also on the front cover. Now you know guys
Dude pm me your address and i will pop it in the post monday morning, you may have it by friday fingers crossed. I always throw my magazine copies away a few days after reading em. ours if ya want it.
Youre very kind. In America we wait almost a month to get it. If you send it I will read it, and review it for the benefit of the community. Thanks. PM sent...
The Octane featured car "B 1 GTO" (53307 Ex-Eddie Irvine) is advertised via Mark Shannon in England. Said to be showing 41,000km.

The Car Experience have 58335 advertised on Anamera at "4,500km" which is less mileage than it had earlier this year when Tom H sold it with three times as many miles! Whatever. Image Unavailable, Please Login
A 288 GTO would have to be the easiest car in the world to disconnect the speedo. Just reach down under the rear bumper and unclip the cable............. I wouldn't believe anything with these cars that isn't fully documented and even then caution is the word. Condition and history is everything.
With CarFax, it's extremely stupid (not to mention unethical in the first place) to try to deceive a buyer regarding mileage. Considering how much information is out there regarding GTOs, it would have to be 10x as dumb to roll back the miles on one of those. Guys like Joe can probably call up the exact mileage on most GTOs at almost every point throughout their history.
I wouldn't put too much faith in Carfax, and yes ethics often go out the window where money is involved for some people. There is a lot of historical information out there; but nobody has everything on every car. The F50 is the first of the supercars that records the mileage on the cars ECU's. F40's are also prone to misrepresenatation.

Looks like a Ferrari dealership judging by the colors on the pillar in front of the car... Gr. Martin
The supplement that came with this months Octane also made mention of this. For those of you who admire the shape of the 288.
This sculpture inspired me to buy a spare Tamiya lexan 1:12 bodyshell and paint it over the protective plastic layer, looks almost the same doesn't it? Except mine is dusty. Image Unavailable, Please Login
