Speak for yourself, Editorial Reviews state otherwise: "Author Sackey follows up his brilliant Miura book with this great read on Ferrari's 288 GTO. It covers the car's background, design, production and legacy. There's a foreword by the chief engineer, plus you get full stats, reproductions of magazine reviews and stunning photos." - Auto Express "Whether you are fortunate enough to own one, are planning to buy one, or simply dream of hopefully seeing one in person in your lifetime, you owe it to your Petrolista self to pick up a copy of The Book of the 288 GTO by Joe Sackey. Five years in the making, this is without a doubt the most comprehensive, most researched book on this legendary Ferrari ... makes a great addition to any enthusiast's automotive bookshelf." - Petrolicious "Joe has figured out how to create a book with 325 photos of essentially the same car and still make it interesting ... it's difficult to imagine what further information on the car might fill the pages - as good a reason as any to pick up Joe's book and fill in that empty slot in your Ferrari bookshelf." - Veloce Today https://www.amazon.com/Book-Ferrari-288-GTO/dp/1845842731#customerReviews 4.5 stars out of 5 stars based on 45 reviews isn't too shabby, if you can do better with your own publication, please do. https://joesackeyclassics.com/authored-books/the-book-of-the-ferrari-288-gto/ A number of personal GTO owner Reviews show it was worth the effort. As an aside, this book has been fantastic for business and I attribute @ half of our not inconsiderable number of 288 GTO sales to it.
This is why I ask about the Tontarelli “Collection” as there is a video the collection that shows an F50, Enzo and a Z8 as well as an Enzo hiding in the back which I haven’t seen anything of anywhere
It is a video from Facebook, you won’t be able to see the video publicly, will it work over private messages?
So please tell me if this is visible or not, but this is part of the video I was speaking of from Tontarelli do you know anything further about the 288 GTO, Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not Tontarelli. The Enzo is 138352 and the original owner was Alberto B., resident near Ancona. And re the 288 GTO: Alberto B. was not the first but the 3rd owner of the 288 GTO (he got that 3 December 1999) but that car also has a new owner now (who got it 22 November 2005). Marcel Massini
I too had considered acquiring a recreation of the 250 GTO and 250 LM, the 2 Ferraris I fell in love with over 35 years ago. I found a builder, negotiated prices and could have afforded it. But after thinking it through, I didn't go any further because I would have had the unpleasant feeling of wearing a fake Rolex or hanging a fake Van Gogh in my living room. I preferred to buy Ferrari models within my financial capacities, but at least they are authentic and original. The GTO and the LM were my dream and will remain a dream for ever for me; I will nevertheless add that the fact of seeing so many replicas, recreations or other fakes weakens the power of attraction that these myths had on me because not knowing if they are fake or real during the exhibitions and not having want to foolishly go into raptures over a copy, I gradually turn away from it: that's sad.
Of course. I think that if a museum would exhibit fake paintings or fake works of art, no one would come to see them....

Hi Joe, Regarding the two silver GTOs 54225 and 56335: The pictures in your post were published in the German Auto Welt magazine, produced by German Ferrari importer Auto Becker. Issue nr 1 in 1988, page 49. the occasion was an FCA track event at Bridgehampton on June 7th, 1987. Years ago I received pictures of this silver GTO from a friend in Germany, Jan Titze. The silver GTO in question has Mexican registration LPF568. It seems that in the following thread Sam Bardor's other silver GTO is pictured, because it has a different Mexican registration (LTC507): https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/137535244/ Does this help in identifying which chassis belongs to which GTO?

The silvergrey Bardor 288's used at least three different Mexican plates: LPF 568, LPF 569 and LTC 507. Marcel Massini
Hi, this is partly related to this thread and partly not, I am looking at the Collezione Comerio, specifically more pictuers and/or info, I can only so far say I know of 288 GTO #52727 and 275 GTB/4 #10217 that are / were part of the collection as well as some old Ferrari F1 cars, however in the few photos that exist of this collection I know there is also an F40, F50, Enzo among others. If this isn't right for this thread please point me in the right direction, thanks.
The Keke Rosberg GTO as it left the factory. The GTO is the Godfather of all Ferrari Supercars, the one from which the rest will forever descend, the 1st in the Series, Numero Uno, the rarest, and the most sublimely beautiful. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Does any one have any knowledge on Chassis 53315, as to why the speedo was changed, I was in the final stages to purchase it, but as the original is not available I passed. the car shows 257 miles on a MPH speedo.
Well, 53315 has probably more air miles than actual driving miles by now........Italy, Belgium, USA, Japan....... (sometimes only the face is being replaced.........sometimes the entire device). In December 1989 the car had 2'200 kilometers. And then there's also an issue with a replacement gearbox. Marcel Massini
Thank you so much Marcel, it goes to show, at the high end 288 GTO market you have to be so careful where mileage is the prime driver, this was a 8 million USD deal based on 257 miles and 2 owners.. that fell through in the end because of the provenance...
