Bonnes fêtes!

 

WRONG. It is 55167. Don't mix CW-F 288 with CW-FI 288 (53777).
Marcel Massini

 

Good advice! I have them both noted now.

 

Do you know who was dribving this GTO? official tester like Mario G?

 

That's a nice picture !

 

I also always confuse the Belgian cars 288.GTO and GTO.288 among others...

 

March 1984, a prototype GTO (no front fender Ferrari shields, leather dash, gauges with chrome-accented bezels etc) driven furiously by the one-and-only Dario Benuzzi whilst listening to a rock cassette tape! A friend was/is a member of the press and was there at the time and took an entire series of images of the testing of the prototypes etc.

Note 47649 with just a single mirror on the driver's door. Nowadays it has both doors with mirrors. Very interesting, thanks for posting Marcel.

 

i thaught the driver was Mario Guidetti....

 

Exellent! Mr A Obrist was my reference for Ferrari during many years. Thank you Marcel for the picture, i keep it like a gift for Christmas!

 

Here is one of them... 54811.

That's 55721 photographed in Monaco, and it isn't B1 GTO.

I recognise the driver............

 

Several 288 GTO owners had the bumpers painted red (11 cars) and a thin yellow line added. The car pictured is 56209. Pix taken from "Hors Ligne" magazine.

Ruins the car for me.

 

What I find interesting about this car is in the top image looking through the car you can see a raised panel on the engine cover... ??

 

I should know better!

OK here is 55721 now, correctly identified I hope this time...
