These are not photos I found online. They were given to me by the daughter of Ulf Norinder, who is a friend and lives in Lausanne. Following the recent death of her mother, she wanted to get rid of these car relics that reminded her of her painfully absent father. There is also a photocopy of the advertisement published in The du Pont Registry in July 1989, which offered for sale a Drogo-built GTO with chassis number 4769GT. Ferrari which was possibly driven by Ulf Norinder. I checked on barchetta.cc and this chassis is in fact that a 1963 250 GTE, bodied in the Drogo style by Allegretti in the 80s. Can anyone tell us more about the history of this car? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
4769 GT was a regular 250 GTE 2+2 Pininfarina until 1986 when then owner Glen Kalil of Palm City/FL decided to have it rebodied "similar to the Drogo body built for 250 GTO chassis 3445 GT". 4769 GT is not a 250 GTO and not a genuine Drogo but rather has a copy of an Allegretti body. The original 250 GTE PF body from 4769 GT was put on a VW Chassis (Source: fchatter A. Kalil, Jr.) The first 2 pix in post 6839 show the rebodied 250 GTO chassis 3445 GT with the genuine Drogo body. I took the below color pix of 4769 GT (the rebodied GTE) with the copy of the Drogo body (so it is a copy of a period rebody), in January 2014 in Phoenix/AZ at the Biltmore parking.

Thank you. Ulf Norinder died in 1978. So I knew it was impossible for him to drive this car as a GTO copy, made in the 80's. But I don't understand why his widow had these pics ? And a steering wheel from an Alfa Romeo 1900 CC which I received with the pictures…
It's amazing there are still cars like that sleeping in someone garage for decades despite the market having x5 or x10..
We are very fortunate lately gents, this one dropped just a week or so ago as well. This one may be more known, I have never seen it though. Some fabulous footage of the Zagato Costin coupe Maserati, driven by Sir Stirling. This car should be shortened back to original....
