    From the home town of Ferrari; very nice picture you send! Did you notice the serial numbers on the cars displayed? No people in the pictures?

    No serial number, that park is quite big so no person also because I was the first person after morning rain

    I saw these cars at the Galleria Ferrari and think they're all owned by the factory.
    The 288 GTO is s/n 50255.
    The F40 is s/n 77107.
    I'm sorry I don't have the serial number of the GTO Evoluzione.

    When was this event held? And is it a public park or private garden?

    Cool pics, but why are the cars all driven on wood strips? Undercarriage shots?

    Is the "pre-series" a series of concepts before the actual production of the F40 began? If so, is that a concept version of the F40? How many F40s are in the "pre-series?"

    Not a concept version F40 pictured here in the way 73015 was. Note the later style rather than flat rear plex window. Side mirrors are mounted on the flat top part of the door rather than in the corner of the side window. Most obvious is the missing 5th vent on the rear fender. The chrome horse on the rear grill work behind the engine is an interesting touch plus the car is fitted with red lights mounted between the tail lights. No 'roll down' side windows on this one.
    Still very nice to see; without crowds of people spoiling the view!

    Yep, its Carrs.
    I saw them there too, for my money I would have had the evo over the F1.

    Nice pics Rik, any more.
