    Hello together,

    I'm again busy with sorting old pictures on my harddrive and just stumbled across pictures of a crashed 328 GTS, which I found in an exhibition in a local car museum some years ago.

    The display -see first picture- also shows an old newspaper article which refers to italian actress Monica Bellucci. But unfortunately I missed taking a picture of the article itself and I cannot remember the context. Does anyone know more?
    Or know a starting point to do research, whether this was actually a celebrity car.

    And I found it interesting, that obviously someone took away the steering column with the VIN-plate. I hope, that it's not found in another car, which needed a new VIN for certain reasons.

    That vehicle is identical to mine except for the small dents. Better go check my garage to verify mine is still there.

    I saw pictures of this car years ago but also without knowing the S/N and the "Autosammlung Steim" museum doesn't want disclose the information "as usual"...
    They may be know more because the display introduce the car as a "1980 328GTS with 3 liter engine and 227 HP" !

    Another photo show an rear window defrost, so could be an original japanese 328 ? It doesn't look like an US car

    Absolutely correct. I am amazed, that a museum writes so much BS:

    This is Monica Bellucci in a very fanous Helmut Newton picture (1994), done for the high end Italian fashion firm "Blumarine", located here in Carpi, Modena area. Never heard about a Monica Bellucci car crash in a Ferrari 328 before.

    Nice pic, though I admire Helmut Newton more for his high-contrast black and white photo artwork.

    I have a trivial theory regarding my initial post. Around year 2010 -I took my pic in early 2011- Monica Bellucci expressed a quote, which was intensely exploited by the yellow press afterwards. She said -in rough translation- "Beauty is like driving a Ferrari. If you don't know how to handle it, the car will get so fast, that you hit a wall".

    Maybe the owner of the car collection found, that this fits his 328 GTS crash display.
    Meanwhile the newspaper article has disappeared from the display.
