    Fantastic! Thak you for the great pictures. I remember that a couple of years ago someone was claimed that the car was black not dark brown. That happened because of a model car company made it painted in black..and that was wrong!

    Marcel those are great views of *3451GT* you have provided; thank you for sharing your photographs here. This 250 GTO is not featured very much in the other photographs here.
    This GTO looks great now 5 years on wearing it's old Targa Florio colors including the TF race number '86'.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login He seems to enjoy the original spec as he also changed the N.A.R.T. spider from red to blue. Somewhat ironic but not unexpected. Especially after all the hours Greg and the parrot spend fluffing the red car for auction.
    He also swapped early on for the original motor that had been removed from his GTO.

    I'd like to come back on my post #34 in this GTO Anniversary thread and wish to make clear that the various GTO Anniversaries were organised by:

    #1 in 1982 (20 years): Pierre Bardinon and Jess G. Pourret, in Burgundy, France.
    #2 in 1987 (25 years): Pierre Bardinon, Jess G. Pourret and Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon), from Epernay to Mas du Clos, France.
    #3 in 1992 (30 years): Not really an anniversary, a run from Brussels to Maranello with Jacques Swaters.
    #4 in 1997 (35 years): Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon) with P. Paul Pappalardo, from Epernay to Monaco.
    #5 in 2002 (40 years): Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon) with P. Paul Pappalardo, in Burgundy, France.
    #6 in 2007 (45 years): Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon) with Peter G. Sachs, in California/USA.
    #7 in 2012 (50 years): Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon) with Peter G. Sachs, from Epernay via Le Mans Classic to Versailles, France.
    #8 in 2017 (55 years): Factory with Jean Berchon (Moet & Chandon) and Brandon Wang, Florence to Maranello, Italy.

    I was looking in an old magazine over the week end ( yes I also have some limited archives) at the 1987 tour and there were much less diversified colors than today. Most of the cars were red at that time!

    The white color for the top of the car cover and also for the numeral '86' is a very personal touch!
    Hopefully the annual Ferrari Yearbook for 2017 will showcase some coverage of this special 250 GTO gathering to...

    Though subtle the number 23 car has some interesting silver ducts that the owner commissioned. They can be seen at the front lower edge of the driver's side window. Certainly it would be an effective and non-destructive way to get some extra cool air into a hot car!

    Red is okay on these cars but my faves are the White, bright blue, lime Green and Brown colour schemes, they transform the design and are sexy as hell

    Green is probably my least favourite colour but 3767GT looks fantastic and this shade of green is gorgeous on a GTO.

    Great pics, Marcel. Very interesting car 3451GT (as all GTOs are of course). Was 3451GT rebodied before being repainted by Cremonini in original TF livery few years ago?

    Stroll got it from Bajol via Sachs in 1996.
    I understand it was not fully rebodied despite certain other claims.

    Great pics, enjoyed them very much, thank you! So nice to see the former "just red" 250 GTO's to their original colour combination.

    Did Classiche oversee the recent restoration and put a correct tag on it?

    Let me start then.

    5575GT at the 12hr de Reims in July 64 and in 2011. The errors are pretty obvious!
