FERRARI 288 GTO

David Gilmour from Pink Floyd owns it???

 

I'd guess Nick Mason.

 

I think that's just the avatar name or moniker of the photographer.

 

simple ..1st-F40 and 2nd-288GTO cause they're the cars I drooled over as a teenager as well as a 328GTS

 

As one of my colleagues would say: "You have to have the problem first"

Not a repost, thanks for sharing.

Its RM's site also with the following:

Chassis number 52725

Estimate - €350,000-€420,000 ($470,000 - $560,000)

"This very fine example was originally equipped with optional power window lifts and was delivered to Italy. It was supplied to its first owner, Mr. Emilio Mascherpa from Coccaglio, Brescia, and first registered on 25th February 1985. The current owner acquired the GTO on 20th October 2001 and since then has maintained it at Rossocorsa, the official Ferrari dealer for the Milan area. As offered, the GTO presents well and shows just 23,418 kms, benefiting from regular exercise. It comes complete with all books and tools and is fitted with four new tyres. With pure Ferrari performance and gorgeous styling, the 288 GTO remains one of the most desirable Ferraris ever to cross an auction block."

US Legal (Subject to 2.5% Customs duty and shipping to US as MY is 25 years old)

VAT(Monaco?) due on Buyers Auction fee for US resident in addition to Buyer's fee .

Keeping that in mind it will be interesting to see what it sells for assuming it doesn't NS.

 

Correct, and I think you will have to pay Eu VAT if a USA resident, but perhaps an EU specialist can clarify.

Good that it has been driven, but, even from pics you can see (from the engine bay shot for example, and from the interior image) that this is no USA-typical show queen. Estimate seems reasonable bearing in mind that these have softened since a year ago.

 

Unless it was removed intentionally, I think this badge has been well-scrubbed over the years because all the satin-black filling in the center of the lettering is gone!

 

Maybe its different for cars but I've always had my VAT refunded when taking purchases out of the country.

 

Not for services that aren't exported such as Auction Fees.

 

VAT is only due on Buyers Auction Fee for a US resident
who exports the car back to the US.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I hadn't considered that service fees are subject to VAT as well.

 

Got it, Thanx.

 

Monaco follows the French Value Added Tax 19.6%

You're welcome

It's the first 288 I've seen in the metal, they're very subtle.

Keeping an eye on it's younger brothers and a Megaphone close up:

Yep, that's me.

Glad you liked them, it's just a shame about the traditional British weather.

Edit: Thanks should also go to the owners for bringing them out for a good cause: http://www.chestnutschallenge.org.uk

 

Thats a well-known GTO, featured in the epic all-4 Supercars EVO magazine issue # 64 (Feb 2004) and in Octane.
