The mans a bloody legend smile I think its chassis #4675, the MRK2 GTO(like the picture immediately above this post). You can read about some of the cars history here along with some old pictures of it. http://www.web-cars.com/gto/ferrari_index-2.php

Much as the GTO is the Ferrari 'Holly Grail' I still think he's mad for getting rid of the other cars he had for it.

I saw his white 250 SWB and the green California go under the hammer in Monaco and they were both just perfect.

I would enjoy owning and driving several special Ferrari's more than one GTO

Well done Chris.

You won't remember me, but you let me sit in the Coburn 250 outside Maranellos a few months back, with a "sure, jump in mate".



Enjoy it, and enjoy showing it to those of us who appreciate such things!


LOL at this one. Living la vida loca baby!!

Can never be sure which is the real one...

edit: got it.

Damn that's a lovely motor...

Have to say he has the right idea. Look how much he seems to use and enjoy his cars, thank god for actual petrol heads who are lucky enough to buy this sort of kit. Most just buy them as pure investments and stash them away

I particularly like seeing the cali with dirt all over it and then the other pic where its out in the snow....it almost looks like he has taken it on a stag weekend
