    I wish every sports car buyers guide was this frank and detailed save an awful lot of disappointment in the long run

    The trouble with the 288 is that it seems Ferrari ran out of ideas of what to do with the 308 GTB jogs ......... oh wait, we can "hotrod" some 308s , put the GTO badge on and some nutters will buy them o_O

    Not saying it's not a great car but to me it was a marketing exercise for the terminally gullible (I'd have bought one if I had the readies :oops: )

    the 288GTO was a homologation car for Group B road racing, which barely got started before Group B cars were banned in 1986. Ferrari accidentally discovered the huge demand for factory special semi-competition cars and we've had them ever since.

    They were to a degree, but in period they were a fast little car for the time with exceptional handling and were compared directly with 911E and S models

    The local Chrysler dealer in Liverpool (Bob Walker ?) had one and my favourite memory was when his sales manager (in an E38) and he had a race from the showroom to the street on a Friday afternoon .......... was very close but I think the sales manager eased off when push came to shove as they both went for the same exit onto the Hume

    They’re all hand-me-downs now.
    Provided you gave the seats a good clean when you got it, your hand-me-down is fine.

    I wish you could order a “new” 355.
    Imagine a new 355 with an updated interior, another 100hp, and the gearbox from a Speciale. :):)

    Especially if they made it in the most excellent and desirable GTS spec.
    This one even has the (almost) perfect interior!

    :D

    Miles off base there mate. The 288GTO has almost nothing in common with the 308/328 models.

    Has the QLD branch of the FCA issued a public apology for their gross incompetence in not rewarding your car the concours trophy in the competition section? I blame Horse :p
