    Do you know which size the tyres have?
    They look really wide to me.

    As Marcel pointed out: "Scarce", but as with most things, not impossible to get.

    No, 55643 is NOT the Schumacher 288 GTO.
    Michael Schumacher owns 288 GTO #54233.

    I almost paid 300 Euro for a copy at an Essen Motor Show but found a new copy at ebay for a bit less. I don't care for the fancy case and big engine blueprint and wished they made also a cheaper edition. Still glad I have it.

    When I said Schumacher was looking away, I was joking that he accepted to autograph the car but didn't care for the modifications...

    As Marcel has clarified, Schumacher's car is another GTO.

    You mind me asking what the price was? I would love to help the LoC get a copy.

    And any automotive authors/writers on here, please have your publishers provide copies of your books to the Library of Congress for the enjoyment of all generations and those of all economic status! ;)

    I pulled my copy of "Les Ferrari GTO" and remembered: its really a mini-book!

    The 1988 book by Christian Descombes size of a small hand-book, and is entirely in French without any English translation.

    It worth noting that 3/4 of it is dedicated to the 250 GTO.

    When the 288 GTO does eventually appear, it is restricted to the 9 press images in black-and-white Ferrari SpA images that were disseminated to enthusiasts everywhere.

    Just one single privateer car (German-registered "BO-YE.581") makes an appearance in a grand total of two (2) pictures besides the cover.

    Still, an interesting piece...

    This car is the one featured several times in this thread with the UK registration "A 6 GTO", chassis number 54235. It was originally owned by Ferrari collector Albert Obrist, but what I find interesting about this car is that it is one of a few no-frills GTOs built with manual windows and no air-conditioning. Cloth seat inserts, 4-point harnesses and Megaphones are a nice touch :)
