FERRARI 288 GTO

;o)

Unfortunately the UK registration database isn't public (to the best of my knowledge).

This site to the database only shows of the F supercars the La Ferrari, with 9 UK registered last year.

FYI SORN means Statutory Off Road Notification, still UK registered but no UK road tax paid therefore not allowed to be on public roads. For when cars in storage, restoration, lying idle.. etc.

 

More than triple that.

Nice image - thanks Joe

Also explains why I need to reverse out my drive

 

Now you know: 10 degrees maximum!

 

I'm a little late to the party on this thread...but I have S/N's of about 50 cars currently in the US (or at least were within the past few years), with about 15 others that still may be around. I quickly found that registration info on 288's can be pretty spotty.

 

Please post them.

This way we can cross-review and corroborate, and everyone benefits.

I think you'll find that a percentage of them are no longer here. Ive exported 6 myself, and am aware of at least a dozen cars that have gone abroad in the last 10 years whilst the Euro was strong.

 

Joe,
I'll send you over a PM with some info!

Thanks. I'll review & revert.

 

I have a beautiful GTO available via Private Treaty, interested principals contact me directly via e-mail for details.

My gto has 6000km and is in Canada. I have owned it for
...hmmm...10 years i think.

That's awesome. Respect.

 

Thanks

Here are a few more of that car being shown at the 2015 Cars on Fifth in Naples FL.

I think Naples can claim this particular 288 GTO as a part time resident with at least one more residing full time.

Not bad for what was once a sleepy little beach town.

Imagine my surprise when that showed up in my mirrors driving down 41 on my way to the shiw.

 

One of the most beautiful Ferraris ever made.

Thanks for sharing. What an engine!

 

Dario Benuzzi recently drove a customer's GTO around Fiorano and extolled the virtues of the car thus:

“For a moment, you experience an emotion from the past, then you step on the gas and a stronger and more real sensation overpowers you. The sound, the exhaust, the intake, the readiness… you feel like congratulating yourself for having designed such a great car 30 years ago. Some features of Formula 1 of that era are present in this car – solutions, materials and performance. Its spirit too! The frame of the car is tubular, and the 2.9-litre V8 engine is equipped with two turbos. A real thoroughbred, which, without assistance from any electronics, produces 400bhp and holds the record for being the first production car to cross 300km/h (305km/h to be precise). For a car to not weigh even 1,200kgs – it’s highly improbable today to register that kind of a power-to-weight ratio,”
