    I believe the GTO-logo'd speakers were standard fitment for all 288 GTOs.

    Was this so a radio could be easily installed later?

    Exactly, and this is why 288 GTOs with radios have different brands used as the radios were installed post-production.

    However, many GTO owners declined to install any radio, we have encountered and sold many GTOs with blank plates in place of a radio, our own 56331 had a radio blank plate even though it had electric windows and air-conditioning.

    I searched this thread, but could not find any clear info. Are 308 steering wheels identical in looks to the 288 GTO steering outside of the horn bezel and perhaps production dates on the back?

    I got inside a 288 GTO last week. Even touched the steering wheel :). It looks identical to the 308 steering wheel I have. Just curious as I do have one in good condition I am looking to sell. Could be a nice option for 288 owners looking to preserve their original steering wheels.

    The one I saw also had a “momo” logo on the front… just like my 308 wheel.

    I believe it's a Momo montecarlo.
    308s first had a brushed silver Momo, then a Nardi for the GBTi and GTS, and the 328s all had montecarlos. From what I recall in the US, not sure if spec was diff worldwide

    Montecarlos are similar, but aren’t it. Montecarlos have humps. These steering wheels are Ferrari specific if you analyze the details, but based off a general Momo design.

    That's GTO 58137 which we sold from the USA to the UK, and then again later to France.

    It's a Concours D'Elegance award-winning GTO under the auspices of Ferrari SpA.

    54247, a particularly nice example, over a 15-year period, we've been lucky to sell this GTO 3 times, to Florida, to California and then to Colorado.

    Further to the F40 factory legacy tour (35 years) that ended in Fiorano last Sunday, it has been confirmed that another legacy tour will take place again next year to celebrate the 288GTO (40 years).

    Exact date and venue still to be confirmed. I guess all owners known by the factory will be invited to join this event.

    And then I was thinking that seeing 5 GTO's during Cavalcade Classiche was very special...
