Ferrari 288 GTO - A Unique & RHD Example 

ME TOO! And I agree It doesn't have an ugly angle.

It was my favourite car until I discovered the Evoluzione version

@@WolfdogKitok I know the evo isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's the brutalness of it that I love. And the rareness

Same along with a red Miura

I fully agree.

My thoughts exactly. What a car.

i'd like to see the other three before i made that decision.

It's '70s styling, based on the 308. The F40 is '80s styling, and so is the '84 Testarossa.

@@dvamateur yet the F40 has styling ultimately based on the 288 GTO since it was essentially a development of the 288 GTO Evoluzione

Ive just watched this video and was about to write a comment and then I read what you had to say and I decided I didn't need to write anything as your comments sum it up perfectly, I couldn't agree more!!

@@simmymunchkin Thank you!! This car just does something to me (us) that is so hard to explain in words. I can't get enough of it. I'm currently looking for someone in my area that might own one so I can go see it. Getting a ride in one would be a dream.

@P.O. P4 ??

@P.O. Disregard...I get it now... Yes, those are amazing, yet I fell in love with the Road cars of Ferrari, not the race cars. I stand by my comments (which are totally Subjective to me).

@P.O. How old were you when the 288 GTO came out, if you don't mind me asking? I was 15 and I share Interceptor2500 (and others) sentiments on this car completely. I traveled to UK when I was 17-18 and hunted down 3 288's to ogle and admire, one of them in a Ferrari service station just outside of London. There was an F40 there as well, helmet and racing gloves in the passenger seat :)

Or the A Team :)

I thought the Sultan spec’d a rainbow paint job?

If they’re selling it they must be in Dire Straits(?)

@@helipeek2736 Nah! The old Sultanate cars come up for sale all of the time. Most of them belong to the brother.

Probably client confidentiality. DK is contracted to maintain/restore the car.

@@azizuladnan2389 Give over... This has long been out of the collection. And changed hands a couple of times since.

I agree Great video but would have happily watched him driving with just engine sound for a much longer time than was on the video!!!

The "survival rate" probably has something to do with the fact that they're rarely ever driven. I worked in Ferrari dealership in the early '90s and in our storage floor, among 2 F40s and many other beautiful Ferraris, was a red 288 GTO. I don't know if it ever left the building. I never heard of it moving. One of the F40s was on the road at least one weekend every month and came back covered in bugs and brake dust. I've always felt that that was what they were made for and what they were so good at!! A couple came in one Sunday, looking for a possible purchase. They already owned a Testarossa 512M up in Utah. The husband commented that he felt the 288 might be a "more practical choice" since in wasn't quite so close to the ground and the roads up there weren't the best. His wife couldn't stop laughing at that. She asked, "just how do you manage to use the words Ferrari and practical in the same sentence???" ...and then she started laughing again. ;^)

@@MrGaryGG48 288 GTO's had a bad reputation for going up in flames.

Exactly. Same here.

Witzig. Ich war auch erst einmal in meinem Leben in Monaco. Und zwar im Sommer 1985. Allerdings war ich 5 Jahre alt und mit meinen Eltern und meiner Schwester im Urlaub auf Sardinien. Auf dem Rückweg nach Bielefeld sind da nochmal vorbei gefahren und haben uns die Stadt angeguckt. Kann mich aber nur noch dran erinnern, wie wir dort an einer Straße standen und auf den Hafen mit dem Yachten runterblickten. Der 288GTO hat mir generell auch immer optisch sehr gut gefallen. Ich war aber ein noch größerer Testarossa-Fan, auch, wenn der GTO eigentlich hübscher ist.

Danke für Deine ausführliche Urlaubsschilderung Eures Urlaubs von 1985, der Dir ja in guter Erinnerung geblieben ist. Frohe Weihnachten aus Essen.

That would be the 'Getting to know the GTO' edition? I remember buying that way back in 85 and still have it on a shelf somewhere.

That’s right. I have it still too.

288 GTO in Black 365 GTS Daytona spyder in Black = PERFECTION 😃👌 😎👍

It is a lot like a 205 , I've always thought the same!!

288 was never intended for rallying.

The F40 wouldn't have existed without the 288.Only the F40LM IS a racer,not the standard one.

I remember this car, at the age of 17 in 1987/8 I was on a yts scheme working at Maranellos in Egham. Dream car and can never forget that reg.

You know you’re a car guy when you even remember the plate 😁

Then the environmentalists stepped in.

Music fits the cars....so 80's.
