288 GTO Legacy Tour ready to roll today with a record attendance of 27 cars, Bravo to our clients who are driving on this Tour.

 

So 10% of the total production. Amazing scenery in Pinzolo.

23 it is, not 27.
Race numbers begin with 1 and go to 27 but four numbers in between not used.

This is a Toyota MR2 ! Not a Ferrari.

 

Factory GTO Legacy Tour this morning in the Dolomites. 22 cars.
Raining like hell and close to 2 degrees Celsius.

It looks it will be a very demanding waterproof test for the attending cars: today it's a very bad weather here in northern Italy, and tomorrow not a much better weather is espected.

However it's a very nice looking sight indeed, rain or not!

Ciao

 

Correct, very wet and cold weather throughout the day. It should be the same tomorrow but being part of this gathering and seeing so many GTOs in the wild is a privilege. What a beautiful car!

I certainly would not fault them for finding a warm bar, a warm drink and waiting for better roads.

Thank you for posting Marcel! Now we have any easy test for you, what are the chassis numbers in the right order starting with bottom right!

Wow!

 

He knows every chassis number, trust me, I've seen his list!

Perhaps the rain stopped because JE joined the tour.

 

Thanks God he did camouflage it.

 

???
Are you mixing up John with Lapo Elkann?

Marcel Massini

 

Oops, I did indeed.

 

I didn't know this event was happening, but the YouTube algorithm had my back.

 

March, Amsterdam. I guess the same Dutch car that was in the GTO Tour?

I only had two 'big' model cars as a kid. A 1/18 Bburago Countach and a 1/24 Bburago 288 GTO. I think I still have it somewhere. Money no object I'd prefer owning the 288 GTO over the Countach these days. Heck, I'd prefer a 360 CS over a Countach, even a manual F355. But the Countach remains the ultimate poster car together with the F40.
