Here's hoping that the marine transit was uneventful.

Others may not have been so lucky.... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Finally it has arrived

Drove it around the yard, first impressions are that the steering at low speed is bloody heavy Can't wait to drive it properly.

Some initial photos:

is amazing how the 288 makes the 599 look chubby....

Just beautiful Andrew. The 288 looks so delicate next to the 599. What a cracking pair!

I can imagine how you felt when you finally got your hands on the GTO.

It's a staggering car - never owned one although back in '85 I went to Italy to pick up from the factory......

Fabulous to look at & awesome to drive. Then there is the noise of that twin turbo V8............

When the car finally arrived in Birmingham after an epic drive through Europe I can clearly remember parking the car outside it's new home with the engine burbling away whilst we went to find the boss.

He drove it, for all of two miles, brought it back & we turned the engine off. Eventually.

Then the engine started to pop & ping as it cooled down.

Loved that car - 426 GTO.

It's an awesome machine & I am sure that you will enjoy it.

Stunning.

Oh my, I'm weak at the knees. Utterly stunning!

288 has always been my dream Ferrari, the 599 looks so ordinary next to it, is it really worthy of the fabled GTO badge?

[DHE]

Sorry, don't like it.












I love it. Fantastic car, not that its likely to happen, but if I had a choice, I think I would choose the 288 over the F40.

[Athlon]

Stunning. To me the best Ferrari of all, congratulatons sir, enjoy every moment with it!

[Scousefella]

The question that has to be asked is this.......................

Should lady luck frown upon you which GTO would you sacrifice?
