288 Evoluzione

I didn't know MN had that kind of collector. Impressive.

MDS

 

All sorts of MN collectors over the years (250 GTO, SWB, Hope Diamond Duesy, etc ...).

 

Yes.

How did these escape the factory originally? I guess you had to be very close to Ferrari back then to acquire one? are any road legal?

 

I know he has (had) a 288 GTO and a 275 GTB/4 as well.

 

Yes, but Nicola Materazzi tells me that's not accurate.

 

So Materazzi says something different than Ferrari Classiche?
Interesting..............

He considers himself the Father of the Evoluzione, and he has shared a lot of original material with me.

But its possible that Ferrari SpA has it down differently as you say. Bear in mind the Factory Certification is 20 years after the car's creation, so anything is possible, and I certainly remain open-minded.

You forgot 599 GTO. He also has all the regular production cars. He has some pretty interesting boats as well.

 

And he lives in MN? What kind of boats?

 

The boats aren't in MN. He has a few but the only one I've been on personally was an 82' Viking.

 

And who owned it before that......??

It used to get some good track use - a really ferocious car with a glorious sound. Placed third in class at the 60th anniversary celebrations at Fiorano.

I was always told by those that built them that it was simply "GTO Evoluzione"......

 

Thanks for that reminder RTB!

 

I suspect that she's a show pony now, but she used to be used in anger.....

Beautiful photos.

 

What is the reason for 70167 being the only road legal?

 

Maybe it's the only one with a handbrake?? It was the closest of the cars to the 288 GTO..... Essentially, all 5 cars are a little bit different; their engines are very different - 3 tipos.

79888 was also road registered at one time.......

 

May 1987

650 BHP is claimed

Power was then cranked up in the later cars, depending upon boost, intercoolers, etc.....

 

Hi guys, sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I'm looking for what exactly happened with one of these models! I remember that about 10-15 years ago here in the Netherlands I visited a museum with my parents. In one of the areas there was this 288 GTO Evoluzione parked! Since it was one out of five ever made, I was really surprised by that but I never asked where it came from. Is one of the owners perhaps Dutch?

 

Nice cars,
