The genuine Ferrari 250 GTO spotted thread

[LotusOmega375D]

As a nod to someone recently stumping up $70 million or whatever it was for a 250 GTO, I think it would be nice to have a thread showing any photos of these beauties that you may have taken out in the wild (or wherever!). My brother has kindly dug into our "archive" and come up with the following photos we took at events in the late 1980s to early/mid 1990s. The three parked in a row were taking part in the rainy Norwich Union classic car run to Silverstone around 1989. They were already worth several millions each back then. The barchetta.cc website provides details of each chassis, but here's a summary. Feel free to add any of your own photos.

TCH 100 "3505GT" ex Moss TT winner. Owned by the TC Harrison Ford dealer brothers
TCH 101 "3909GT". Owned by the TC Harrison Ford dealer brothers
EUP977B "3729GT" ex Hill & Parkes 2 x TT runner-up: owned by Jack Sears
6GTO "3527GT": owned by Stephen Pilkington
RBY336K "3445GT": owned by Robs Lamplough
Dark one at Festival of Speed "4219GT": owned by Brandon Wang

The only one I've ever seen was Nick Mason's, at a rain-soaked Castle Coombe a couple of year's ago where it was being demonstrated by Mark Hales. I can add some photos when I get home tonight.

A couple I took at the Revival a few years back, an expensive out braking manoeuvre gone wrong

[Pericoloso]

What if we don't know if it's genuine ,built from another Ferrari or has a Datsun underneath it ?

Some of the replicas are quite deceivingly good.

I’ll dig out the revival photos from a few years back, there were 11 there.

[GT6 Jonsey]

I remember that, I think I have a few pics of the parade laps they did with all the cars together and Sterling Moss driving one of his old cars

True...this one had me fooled

That one was also crashed heavily at the Revival last year. Luckily it's only a replica, owned by the owner of the original car.

That's the same car as TCH100 in the first image (3505 GT).

The Ferrari exhibition at the Design Museum in April...

[LotusOmega375D]

Hmm, according to barchetta.cc the stated chassis number of that green one is actually a special-bodied blue 250 SWB that never belonged to David Piper. I think they have mixed it up with 250 GTO chassis number 4491GT, which was the BP green car supplied new to Piper. If so it's a silly mistake by the Exhibitor.

[Longnose]

I wondered if anyone would spot it. Piper's blue car was at the exhibition and the information display for that car showed chassis 2643GT as well. A bit disappointing to have such a mistake at an official Ferrari exhibition!

[Pericoloso]

I don't have pics of cars not already posted ,after all who hasn't seen Nick Mason's car ?

but I do have these.....





On the walls of Galleria Ferrari ,Maranello ,visited for the 5th time just last month.

I took a picture of a 250GT Bergman a few years ago.
Will have to find it.
