    End of '86 if you were a new subscriber to Dutch car magazine "Autovisie" you got the '87 yearbook. I know the car is known here and I think I posted colour pictures of it long ago. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I will be in Modena and Maranello again on Monday and am very much looking forward to it!
    I wish I had been able to go hundreds of times since I first went in 1991. I suspect, unfortunately, that next week there will be nothing so exciting to see as a secret 288 GTO on test! As ever though I will wait to find out...

    Keep in mind that the factory will be closing soon for "Ferragosto" and the vacation season, the annual holidays, 99 percent of Italy will be shut down for weeks.

    You mean like Shaq & Kobe?

    I wouldn't have thought your approach was very pleasurable as this appears to be your Modus Operandi:

    I have discovered some completely new information which nobody in the world knows but me, everything you say about this subject is wrong, I am re-writing history because I spoke to one guy and he swears that he recalls something from 20 years ago so now this is definitely official, and I'm not going to tell you what it is for free.

    Meanwhile, you didn't answer my question: are you still asserting that "the man that got it from Ferrari kept it for almost 20 years" ?

    This is one of the features of the car that enthusiasts & owners alike love, I think they got it exactly right as they left the factory.

    Be careful, requesting facts does not appear to go down well with Alberto.

    So true.

    Priceless!!

    Thank you for the much-needed humor.

    Alright guys, let's go back to 288 GTO's then.
    Here's another one of the 288 GTO prototypes, #47647, sister to the much discussed (later yellow) #47649.
    Taken in 2014 at Ferrari Classiche in Maranello.

    Great pictures!

    Where did 47647 go? I remember it was offered at Tom Hartley Jr. I totally missed when it was sold.

    I don't believe so. The company was Romagna Motor Sport offering the 288 GTO.

    See post #12154.
    Photos were taken in Japan.
    Romagna Motor Sports tried to broker the car in 2016.
