    And, above all, the marketing idea of a limited production didn't exist yet: 288 GTO production was planned on December 8, 1981.

    What is your source for this very specific date and is it Ferrari SpA internal?

    Also, how come then that the Italian Transportation Production Homologation Certificate was not issued till July the 17th 1984? *

    Usually this is done within a year of planned production.

    * Of course we know that a finished car debuted at the March 1st 1984 Geneva Salon, but, FWIW, the general idea is to achieve FIA Homologation in @ 1 year of planned production, and in this instance FIA Homologation was achieved on June the 1st 1985, just under one year of official production certification.

    Just curious.

    That day there was a lunch in the Enzo Ferrari house at Fiorano track and the Commendatore himself told how the new car had to be. The source is a top level one that was there that day and had lunch with Enzo Ferrari and the Factory Board. He also told me all the story of the carbed car we were debating some months ago (me, you and Marcel Massini). That's the top interview I have in my book: He told me things I never heard or read before, never. A very nice and important guy that I was honored to meet and talk with.

    Ciao

    Prototype photographed by Martyn Goddard almost 34 years ago, hasn't she aged well?

    At this point the 288 GTO can be the cornerstone of any prominent Ferrari collection
