    I am told it was briefly owned by Luigi Chinetti?

    Chinetti kept 57483 in Belgium at Jacques Swaters' Garage Francorchamps and sold it 29 June 1986 to Jean-Pierre Van Rossem (Moneytron, Onyx F1 Team, etc.).

    Thanks for the confirmation, this is apparently yet another GTO that spent time in Japan and has now returned.

    57483 in that catalog.

    That's 54809, with the previously discussed, um, odometer discrepancy.

    Bold strategy to sell a car like that with no reserve...

    Looks like he's put the original wheels back on and removed the front aero fins that had been added.

    Stocky, I think the car TJH has is the ex-Leventis 79887 which spent many years in the UK and did indeed have the front aero fins as depicted in EVO magazine, it was sold from Leventis by John Collins at Talacrest.

    Very cool part of the Supercar puzzle.

    GTO Evos are very raw & crude in construction, these GTO Evoluziones do feel like a Prototype or Muletta, Larry Stroll sent 79888 to us for our California GTO 25th Reunion in 2009 to be one of the 15 cars there, and I recall the interior was so small I could not fit in it so my teenage son got behind the wheel and steered the car whilst it was being towed. Larry Stroll sold the car for one simple reason - he could not fit in it with racing helmet on. Here's 79888 at our Reunion in 2009, more images here www.flickr.com
