FERRARI 288 GTO

Hi

These have been out of stock for a while. I have my first delivery on its way to me. hopefully by the end of next week.

the rears are on the shelf too, no probs.

Sadly the P-Zero is still out of stock. We won't have them until next year and that is assuming that the world of manufacturing gets somewhere close to normal again.

 

The 288 GTO at the Bonhams Zoute Sale in Knokke Belgium.

Hello Marcel, what do you mean, there is one replica ?

 

Here's another to compare with...

So which one is the real deal..?

Read exactly and carefully what I wrote: "found on another 288."
I am not talking about a replica.
I am talking about another genuine 288 GTO.
Except that one of the two cars is not that number........
As always, do your homework.

Couldn't they have parked it closer?

The one posted by Marcel has the last 5 digits of the chassis number in a non-standard font type & spacing.

 

With some bits from Giuliano Michelotto.

 

Marcel or Joe, are you able to shed any light? I am just simply surprised that the car measures 50mm narrower than what all the stats say, 1855 at rear, 1860 at tips of mirrors compared to 1910 as published?? Regards Doug

 

Is the other GTO from the Slavic Collection?

 

Same VIN number yet different. I am thinking the lower picture is the fake but why was that done if it is found on a true and correct GTO.
Intriguing but also a bit discouraging.

 

Thanks for reposting my photo (post 14527).
Why was the restamping done? Simple answer: Because somebody wanted to hide a specific number (the real one) another one was chosen.
Cars get stolen and crooks restamp numbers. Identity theft. Happens all the time.

Did the cloned car end up in Japan like most back then? they seem safe from the law as long as they stay there it appears.

 

So, the 288 Evo did not sell... Funny enough, all traces of the listing seem to have been erased from the RM site.

 

Perhaps it sold post-(sealed bid) auction?

 

I believe the 54783 with the identity problem is only a few hundred km separated from the unquestioned one

 

I understand the result was £3,000,000 hammer.

 

No sale.

Thanks for clarifying that.

 

There was a time when we all thought the Joe Sackey book on the subject was poor but that has now been surpassed.
This new book is nothing but a gratuitous use of premium paper.

Make me an offer...and bear in mind I took delivery today...

Paul

 

And upwards of a significant amount has been published in other formats (Ferrarisiama/Scuderia etc)...

 

Anyone know anything about a 288 GTO owned by Sergio Tontarelli, or someone with the same surname, could be a one owner car but I am not sure, thanks for any help

 

Tell us more about yourself. Two posts so far, and new to fchat 2 years ago?
Thanks.

I run the page italy.registry and f40registry on Instagram and I'm looking through the many car collections and owners of special cars that exist in Italy, mainly the Ferrari ones such as Fedeli, Tontarelli, MOGAM, Comerio etc, and trying to make people aware of the special cars and collections that exist in Italy
