    According to the books F40 is about 5 inches (12X mm) longer which is what I would have expected. I bet in is mostly behind the firewall. F40 muffler is mostly behind the gear box and GTO it is mostly above it.

    Interesting, thanks.
    But I will never understand why the did not remove that old and no longer valid Swiss motorway sticker from 2007 (!) from the windscreen. If driven in Switzerland with this sticker today you will get a massive fine (at least Swiss Francs CHF 240 and up, plus administrative costs).
    Nostalgia?

    Marcel, in noticing this car has the Megaphone exhausts, what is your understanding of the application of these to 288 GTOs, did the factory commission them from Ansa for sporting clients, or leave Michelotto to work with clients & Ansa in producing them?

    I think Marcel is busy researching this one ;)

    Meanwhile Shiv's GTO 56653 looks so good with original EE plates still affixed, I recall recommending that he ensure the seller provide them, and they are a nice historical touch

    In the video he is driving in the UK, so he is 'safe'. How does this work with these no longer valid Swiss motorway stickers? I just put up the 2020, and the oldest is from 2015... Many thanks.

    Old stickers from previous years must be removed from the screen and the new one affixed not later than 1st February of each year.
