250 GTO 3387GT TFJJ video being driven around London.

[miurasv]

Fabulous video made by TFJJ with amazing sounds including footage from the passenger seat of 250 GTO 3387GT being driven around London.

3387GT was recently restored by Ferrari Classiche to its original specification as at the 250 GTO's maiden race, the 1962 12 Hours of Sebring where it finished first in class and 2nd overall driven by the then F1 World Champion Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien.

Yea saw that when it came out, it's all over the net.
Very brave to do what he was doing through the streets.
Does anyone know if this GTO was at the 250 GTO celebrations maybe 4 or 5 years ago?
I do know that after they left Lemans there was one in a crash in the street. Is this the rebuilt car or was that another one.
Here are a couple of videos I took of 14 or 15 iirc 250 GTOs when they arrived at Lemans in convoy.

Good videos of the 250 GTOs you posted. Thanks. I don't remember seeing 3387GT on a recent tour. The car that crashed was on the 2012 Tour which was chassis number 3445GT.

BTW does anyone have and is able to scan the 250 GTO article from Supercar Classics ('86 I think)..?

I have it but I don't see why you can't buy your own copy you stingy git!

Which edition of Supercar Classics is the 250 GTO article in? Thanks in advance.

I will have to go on a mission through the loft and find it at some point, I think the tagline was something like Into The Red, car was 3729, the famous EUP 977B which I think is presently owned by Brandon Wang. I seem to remember the front foglamps were missing. It was 1985 or 1986.

Thanks. 3729 is owned by Jon Shirley and is now back to its original Bianco with number 10. Brandon Wang owns dark blue 4219GT.

However, if you don't have Supercar Classics, it was a really excellent magazine and most of the issues are worth having with some of best writers around at the time. I have read they went a bit bonkers with it in a money-no-object kind of way and hired all the best people. So it couldn't last unfortunately.

Yes, I remember. I did have the magazine back in the day.

That cover photo was made into an Athena poster.

SCC also tested another GTO, Nick Mason's I think, against an Alfa Monza and Jaguar C-type, with the timing apparatus attached at Millbrook.

Do you know which issue?
