He drove it seriously fast in vintage races in the 80's...I hope it will still be in future.

Three memories: June 7 1989 at a vintage meet at Brands Hatch, sunny day, watching from Hawthorn bend he was banging doors with a black Lotus!

Monthlery Coupes de l'age d'Or early 80's going past the pits at a million rpm and flying on the banking the sound magnified by it.

Nurburgring Oldtimer GP 1985, I had just walked biked around the whole Nordschleife behind the guardrail, seven and a half hours, there was no actual foot path for much of the lap and was biking up the road that goes along the final straight when I heard a screaming engine and he came flying past in the other direction overtaking across from me passing about 6 feet away, a nice end to a special day!

5095GT recently changed hands at a very high price, that no one (or almost no one) knows exactly.

I understood that Violati's asking price was in Euros, not Dollars

Nope. I have heard of a firm offer of 25 million US for one, the 25 million euro asking price of another, and the likely hood of a nice one trading soon so it wouldn't surprise me. These days nothing surprises me.

I hope it's not Violati's-- there was a good article about him in one of the magazines a few years back. Pictures of him and his dog driving around in the GTO... probably the next owner won't drive around in it with his dog!

It's a dog's life, eh?
