    Great pictures Mark.

    Can you give us some background...perhaps I missed the original post.What was the event, it looks pretty large, lots of cars and rare ones at that, like the 288GTO. I recognise some of the places, Villa d'esta for example, where are the other shots from.
    Cheers

    That same ugly dirty yellow Barchetta (don't get me wrong the Barchetta is a beautiful car) was there last time when I visited Monaco. Let me look up the picture later tonight.

    Great pics!

    Simon,

    I remember that car from Monaco. I don't like yellow on that car that much. And on top of that the car is in an unwashed bad shape and the interior was extremely dirty. It is not very well taken care of.

    Awesome, thanks for sharing! That 288 GTO is stunning.....and that 550 Barchetta with a hardtop and black wheels is very cool. Is that owned by the dude with the yellow F50 with the black wheels too?

    Thanks again for sharing, glad you had fun.

    Its funny, B1 GTO, I'm sure it was pictures of this car that Steve328/275 claimed were his GTO. I tried looking back in the archives but lots of images have been lost.
