52723 sold new to Switzerland, then went to the UK, then to Nigeria (yes), then back to Switzerland. Marcel Massini
Correct, one of eight GTOs sold in 2017 by Joe Sackey Classics LLC, this car went from one gentleman to another.
288 GTO AVAILABLE I have a fabulous GTO available via Private Treaty, a car I have personally known for @ 10 years and sold before out of long-term ownership (25 years). I am confident that this GTO is superior to any of the other examples available today. Classiche Certified, AC, PW, all-black leather 8500, original factory exhaust, Ferrari SpA dealer serviced throughout, upgraded clutch and bell-housing relined, show standard, all books & tools, looks just as they did when they left Maranello in original European specification, no mods, perfect. Ready to show or drive. Just over 12,000 miles and correctly-priced. Contact me directly at [email protected] Image Unavailable, Please Login
Where is this car now? It was in the UK a couple of years ago...it may still be here but I'm not sure... Paul

In my opinion both cars was ones of the most beautiful in this period, but I miss the Testarossa in your pictures.
The basis of this comparo was the FIA Homologated Supercars from Ferrari and Lamborghini in the 80s, the 288 GTO (# B-273) and the Countach Downdraft (# B-291), and were very lucky to be able to pair an example of each with a special provenance https://www.instagram.com/p/BekGBwVAIxh/?taken-by=joesackeyclassics
Yes both are very well, I like design for cars and Testarossa near GTO it s just amazing. Countach, it s another thing... I find Transgression everywhere, speed, body, price etc...
There will be an article on the 288 GTO & Countach Downdraft upcoming in Octane magazine, I'll keep all posted.
Very cool Joe! Thank you. I must to be back on your Instagram, the pictures I ve seen are incredible. Who makes the pictures on road with the Countach? Your wife??
