Who are the owners of the world's 250GTOs?

A lot of changed hands but I can only think of two
Ralph Lauren,
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason

There's a green one in England, light green

Didn't Fabrizio Violatti in Italy have one? He recently died
but his children may have kept it.

There used to be a dark blue one in San Francisco, owned by
was it George Dyer? It was a street car always used as street car

Then there was one in Beverly Hills, I think that
was always a street car too. Car was located off Sunset near Westwood.

That leaves dozens more....

I realize that the owners want to maintain their privacy
but when it's probable that at least twenty owners will be displaying their
car at Pebble Beach , at least twenty of them will be known when their names go into the program

PS Jay Leno is not one of them...

 

I like s/n 3413GT which is the 'long roofline' version of the rebodied for 1964 model. Gregory Whitten has owned this GTO for more than a decade now.

aren't there only 36?

 

Breadvan included?

 

There's 38 examples universally accepted as being GTOs. Beyond these 38, there's a four-liter car (3673 SA), that many believe was born as a GTO.

-29 Series I GTOs: one (4713 GT) has LMB-style coachwork; seven are RHD.

-7 Series II GTOs: three were born as Series II; four were born as Series I but rebodied in-period with Series II coachwork -- one of these four is RHD (4399 GT).

-2 (plus possibly 1) four-liter cars: one is RHD (4561 SA).

 

Breadvan NOT included (i.e. 2819 GT was born as a 1961 250 GT SWB Comp/61 SEFAC "Hot Rod"

The serial numbers not matched up to your list are:

5095 Lee (Korea)
5111 P.P. CT
5571 J.M.

Perhaps the extra 3 owners on your list are former owners who have sold or owners of the 4 liter GTOs?

 

Only 36 250 GTOs, correct? Plus three 4 liter cars?

4 liter cars: 3673 SA, 3765 LM, 4561 SA (Ferrari 250GTO Bluemel and Pourret)

 

Yes, 36 250 GTOs, and 2 (plus possibly one other) 330 GTOs.

 

(1) On my list, I stated that J.J. of OH owns a GTO.

(2) 5095 is already now on its SECOND U.K. owner since the time Lee (Korea) sold it a few years ago.

(3) P.P. no longer owns 5111.

(4) J.M.'s brother B.M. is the current owner of 5571.

 

(1) Nicolaus Springer D/CH owned 4153 for some years during the mid-to-late-1990s. He eventually sold it on to Mr. Grohe. After a few years, Grohe resold to C.G.

(2) W.C.'s nickname begins with the letter "C."

(3) Yes, 4757 formerly belonged to Kroymans for over 20 years.

Thanks, while I sort of follow this, I obviously haven't been very diligent in keeping it up to date! P.P. was presented with a birthday cake a few months ago while we were at Miller Motorsports in Greenwich to watch the formula one race.

Miller Motorcars in Greewich? (i.e. not to be confused with the recently-built racing circuit known as Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah)

 

Sorry, yes, Motorcars.

 

I apologize for being such a stickler to detail...

 

Do you mean that 5111GT joined the Torrota collection which displayed a Bugatti 57 SC Atlantic at Pebble Beach 2010 ??

 

Has it? Who actually owns the Torrota Collection?

 

Miguel Gonzales. He also owns a Bugatti 41 Royale....

 

Hmmm.....

Must've bought the Type 41 which lived in Japan.

 

correct. That is the Royale (41141) which was in Japan. Anyone can confirm that he bought 250 GTO 5111GT ?

 

Isnt J.J.'s car here in Cincinnati one of the 330GTO's?

 

Purchased from it's Michigan owner for a paltry sum.

Fred Leydorf?

 

Yes, don't quote me but 600k? Nice money at the time but we all know what happened later...
