The example offered here is the sole surviving factory prototype for the 288 GTO series. It is one of the four developmental cars built by Ferrari before production of the 288 GTO began. Two of these four were used for crash tests and subsequently destroyed. Another one was disassembled and sold as spare parts to a Ferrari customer who had crashed his car.
Chassis 47649 thus remains the only development car in existence and its prototype status is the reason it is not listed as one of the 272 production examples built. The car was owned by Ferrari until 1985 when a special Ferrari customer succeeded in buying it. Any of the 272 production 288 GTOs would be a rare find today. The sole surviving factory prototype makes it arguably the most important of all. Furthermore, all the production cars were finished in Corsa red, making this prototype in Giallo Fly (yellow) the instantly recognizable as the birth of a legend. |

The third last non-Zagato bodied DB4 GT ever built and the penultimate example of the 27 LHD cars, originally sold directly to a Canadian customer in May of 1962. It was specified with wing fuel tanks and because it was so late in the production run, featured the shallower hood scoop and DB5 style tail lamps.
It is described by the vendor as in perfect working order. It is rare that these specialist motorcars come onto the market and so time should be taken to consider this, one of the finest example we have had the pleasure to present, and to ponder when indeed another may come along. |
