and this? Original? http://www.eadmadrid.com/portal/modules/mastop_publish/?tac=Ferrari_250_GTO Madrid.
The only information that I can offer is that in December 2010, J.M.A a businessman from Madrid 30millones dollars pay for an alleged red 250 GTO with black plates... No serial, no data,...
Ive got the book and that was after the 2nd shunt for the car during the race.. the 2nd was a bit severe and it twisted the body on the frame thus causing the screen to "pop" its rubbers.. One GTO that can never be classed as Factory original .. but what a history!
