    Salman and "abunawafff"
    Thank you in advance. I would be most happy if we could finally identify this rare car.

    On 21 March 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO chassis number 55235 was delivered new by Swiss Ferrari importer SAVAF Geneva (Société Anonyme pour la Vente des Automobiles Ferrari) to first owner Asmail Abobtaim, PO Box 3008, in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia. The car, however, was always kept in Switzerland. I don't think the car on my photographs is this car.
