    It's been discussed massively already in the Vintage thread.

    Thanks Marcel, some interesting reading in there. Lots of questions marks over many of the cars. Some of my favourites seem straight forward though :)

    It seems the consensus is that the GTO is real? Is the car's chassis number known?

    That's a factory application on an early (pre-production, Marcel?) GTO, I think it housed some monitoring or engine management equipment, I honestly can't remember.

    My daughter Izzy @ 11 years ago, she showed promise back then by voluntarily picking up the microfiber towel and helping prep our GTO for show, and today she is a straight-A's student heading for college.

    I'm loving the family time during this very unfortunate lockdown.

    A trio of instant classics.

    Zandvoort June 15th 1985, the first GTO gathering, which occurred whilst GTOs were still being built.

    Marcel is this your image? (if not it was given to me by Benjamin Van Bavel for my book I think)

    The car at the end of the row is 56331 which we ended up with.

    Is this the ex-Chris Evans car or another which has been painted white?

    Placed on all (and only) the long wheelbase prototypes to house sensors over the intake manifold (no idea if on some of them were later removed). 47649 still has it.

    There is something about this feature on my book, told by the former owner of 47649 and by Ferrari 288 GTO project leader Nicola Materazzi too

    ciao
