    I am interested in car number 56759, which was originally owned by Colin Briggs of Forfar, Scotland where I lived at the time, it had a UK number if I can remember of 308 GTO, I have searched UK for the number but it comes up with nothing, I remember as a 27 year old watching it coming down the narrow high street of our small country town and it filled the road, it just had a presence that said , move over the King has arrived. any info on it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for that.

    I remember reading that Colin had twisted Ferrari's arm into doing the seat inserts in Bridge of Weir red leather, instead of the standard red Nomex (which fades badly to orange).

    Jacques, this brings back memories of our 25th Reunion event! I hope the 30th is marked but I haven't heard anything yet. If I do I will post it here.

    Surely any 30th anniversary celebrations should have taken place last year......

    We did our 25th in 2009 on the basis of the 1st year of production in 1984, but an Anniversary based on the 2nd year of production would still be both welcome & appropriate.

    The 288 GTO is one of those rare cars that looks great from absolutely ANY angle.

    Yes indeed, a superb (old-school) gentleman client bought a 288 GTO, a 275 GTB/4 and a Carrera GT from me, all at once.
