FERRARI 288 GTO

Where is the new facility? Still at Rue Aristide Briand?

 

No it moved.
10 Rue Curnonsky, 75017 Paris, France

 

Yes and no! The Street is in Paris 17, but it serves as the border between Paris and Levallois, and technically the border is the front window of Pozzi! So when you go in you are in Levallois!
By the way it’s a beautiful facility!

 

From the pics I have seen, it is huge. But lacks the charms of the old location.

Sorry to say but doesn't really look like a genuine 288.
Or is this just to generate clicks on flickr?

Hello Marcel, yesterday I went to a concours event here in Monterrey, Mexico. There was this 288 GTO which is believed to have been owned by Niki Lauda, do you have any info regarding the chasis number? I was also told it was once owned by Lorenzo Zambrano.

Here are some more detailed photos.

Lauda had 58329. The photo does not show 58329.
And TTBOMK Lorenzo Zambrano never owned a 288 GTO.

Blow up your last photo (door jamb) and you will find the serial number.

Niki Lauda's GTO is definitely not in Mexico, it's in the USA.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still figuring out this car's history, had never seen one with the painted front bumper.

 

One of the Ferrari prototypes had the red front bumper. Also the Hollywood Sport Cars 288 GTO had a red front bumper as seen in a (1985?) issue of the American monthly called "AUTOMOBILE" magazine.

 

From new in Hong Kong we painted the bumpers red on #56209 for client Mr Jan Darmadi. He subsequently took the car back to USA in late 1986. I haven't seen it around since, but he still had it in 1997. I believe it has changed hands since.

 

This is juan bosco maldondo GTO

In their description they reference that all 288's produced were Rosso Corsa, "except for one example which was black." Is that true? I'm not aware that the factory produced a black 288.

 

Brunei car, no? Or was that done after-the-fact?

I'm sure Marcel will know!

 

All were red, none was born black.
We have been thru this a hundred times already. Just use search function.

Some were repainted privately, later, in yellow, metallic silvergrey, darkblue met, black, white, etc.

Absolutely correct Marcel - thank you for the info as always

 

I was very certain of that, but that’s what they say in their description. You would think an operation like Macari would know better. Anyhow, thanks for clarifying.

 

Wonder how much are they asking for that well enjoyed GTO.
