Ferrari 288 GTO - die Sammlung | radicalmag Klassiker Design Gruppe B

Überschaubar

Es gibt einen guten Grund, weshalb radical bisher keine Sammlung der Ferrari 288 GTO eröffnet hatte: Wir sind nie so ein Ding gefahren, leider. Klar, die Story, den Hintergrund hatten wir längst geschrieben, hier, aber jetzt tun wir uns auch das noch an, also, die Sammlung:

Chassis-Nummer: 47647

Verkauft über Tom Hartley Jr. (war lange in seinem persönlichen Besitz, Kennzeichen TH4). Einer von sechs Prototypen (drei sollen noch existieren), wurde 1986 an Marco Piccinini verkauft (der auch den F40-Prototyp #75052 besass).

Chassis-Nummer: ZFFPA16B000047649

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Maranello 2007, verkauft für 506’000 Euro. Ist einer der Prototypen, die Serien-Fahrzeuge waren dann alle rot. Schade, eigentlich.

Chassis-Nummer: ZFFPA16B000052471
Motoren-Nummer: F114B*00045*

Auktion: Gooding Christie’s, Paris 2026, Schätzpreis 6 bis 7 Millionen Euro, mit diesen Angaben: «As documented in its original, stamped warranty card on file, this exceptional 288 GTO was sold new in 1985 through official Ferrari dealer Sa.Mo.Car S.p.A. in Rome, to Dr. Vincenzo Garraffa of Sicily. A report on file by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini notes that Dr. Garraffa stored the car from 1985 until 1994, when it was sold to the consignor, a collector and former Formula 1 team principal. The Massini report provides a detailed chronology of the car’s provenance, and in July 2022, the 288 GTO was given to the official Ferrari dealer in Böblingen, Germany, and issued a condition report. The report noted the striking original nature of the car, including the fact that it retained original wax coating on the undercarriage and the original tires mounted in 1985. The report further notes: “The condition of the interior also speaks for a vehicle that has hardly been used or driven. There are very few wrinkles or damage. The leather headlining is in excellent condition, as is the dashboard. The condition of the paint in the front area of the vehicle and the headlights below would confirm the low use of the vehicle, since there are hardly any stone chips or paint damage to be seen here.” In 2024 the Ferrari was issued its Classiche Red Book, which describes in detail the car’s conformity to its original specifications. The 288 GTO is accompanied at auction by manuals and a tool kit, and it makes a stunning presentation as a highly preserved, low-mileage example, showing just over 1,500 km when catalogued.»

Chassis-Nummer: ZFFPA16B000052727
Motoren-Nummer: 00112

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Paris 2026, Schätzpreis 4,5 bis 5,5 Millionen Euro, mit diesen Angaben: «Claiming a life of modest use and fastidious upkeep through a single ownership, this beautifully presented early-production 288 GTO is a tantalising example of Ferrari’s rare 1980s hypercar. Chassis number 52727 is approximately the 18th example built, and it was specified for the European market and distributed through Sa.Mo.Car Spa of Rome. The GTO was sold new to the principle of a successful manufacturing concern, who was also a preferred Ferrari client. The owner enjoyed the Ferrari early in its life, although the car had only accrued 24,243 kilometres at the time of a November 2010 service at Autofficina Bonini Carlo. The 288 has experienced significantly less use since, with the odometer displaying 24,244 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, a gain of just one kilometre in 15 years. Most significantly, in December 2025 the GTO was factory certified with a Ferrari Classiche “Red Book” that stipulates the presence of the matching-numbers engine and gearbox/transaxle, the ultimate confirmation of authenticity. Accompanied by owner’s manuals and tool kit, and documented with the warranty booklet, service invoice, and an Italian libretto, this GTO is a remarkably pure example of Maranello’s bruising 1980s competition car. The 288 GTO is by far the rarest of Ferrari’s “Big Six” hypercar portfolio, and single-owner examples are almost never offered in public.»

Chassis-Nummer: ZFFPA16B000054789

Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Sealed (August 2025), mit diesen Informationen: «Completed by the factory in February of 1985, chassis number 54789 was the 99th production 288 GTO built according to the accompanying report from marque specialist Marcel Massini. Finished in Rosso Corsa (as all production 288 GTOs were) alongside a full Nero interior, the car was fitted with the desirable options of air conditioning and power windows. It found its first home in Viersen, Germany, with Hans Breidenbroich, the owner of a furniture manufacturing company. Amazingly, Breidenbroich never took delivery of the car and it remained stored at Auto-Becker, the official Ferrari dealership in Düsseldorf. The car was seen at Modena Motorsport Ltd. of Düsseldorf-Lagenfeld in March of 1991 wearing French license plates and showing a mere 150 km on its odometer. By 1995, the 288 GTO had returned to Germany and was owned by Pierre Fandel, a well-known German Ferrari collector and glass manufacturer residing in Bitburg, Germany. In 2000, the car was purchased by Eckhard Bluhm, a real estate magnate living in Cologne, Germany, where it was a key member of his impressive Ferrari collection, sitting alongside his F40, F50, Enzo, and a multi-win F300 Formula One car raced by Michael Schumacher, amongst other significant cars. The 288 GTO remained largely on static display in Bluhm’s collection but was extremely well preserved by the time it was sold in 2021, showing only 1,470 km (~913 miles), at which point it was exported to the United States, where it remains today. Shortly after importation, the car received a full mechanical overhaul by official dealer Ferrari of Central Florida including a full engine service with new timing belts, brake service, clutch and gearbox service, and new tires to bring it back to full running and driving condition. The car has also further been submitted to Ferrari Classiche for Red Book certification with the application completed by Ferrari of Central Florida. An inspection undertaken in the summer of 2025 shows that the car remains in wonderful condition throughout, in keeping with the car’s incredibly low mileage showing just under 1,525 km (~947 miles) on its odometer at the time of cataloguing».

Chassis-Nummer: ZFFPA16B000054797

Verkauft über Girardo & Co. (2026), mit diesen Angaben: «The 288 GTO we’re thrilled to be offering left the Ferrari factory in April of 1985, finished in Rosso Corsa and stamped with the chassis number 54797. It was configured in what’s commonly held as lusso specification, which comprised electric windows, air-conditioning and seats upholstered entirely in black leather (it’s a common misconception that the red fabric seat inserts seen on many GTOs were optional extras, but they were in fact standard specification). For a model which is eminently useable, especially compared to its more hardcore successors, we believe these simple creature comforts are definitely worth having on a 288. This car was delivered new to one Juan Garcia-Roady in Tenerife via the official Ferrari concessionaire in Madrid. Remarkably, Garcia-Roady kept chassis number 54797 for 24 years, covering only around 15,000 kilometres in that time and servicing it with the supplying Ferrari dealer. The 288 GTO’s second owner, who was also a Spanish resident, acquired the car in January of 2009. That was just in time to take part in that summer’s Ferrari 288 GTO 25th Anniversary celebration in Barcelona, which was organised by the Ferrari Owners’ Club of Spain. Five years later, in 2014, chassis number 54797 passed on to its third owner, who was also located in Spain. Said owner submitted the 288 GTO for Ferrari Classiche certification – certification it duly received, confirming the original matching-numbers status of the chassis, engine, gearbox and body. By the time this Ferrari was acquired by its fourth and final private owner in 2017, it had covered fewer than 17,000 kilometres. Most recently, this 288 GTO was returned to Italy for the first time since leaving Maranello in 1985. It was sent to Rossocorsa, the official Ferrari concessionaire in Milan, for a major service and has subsequently been professionally detailed. Showing fewer than 18,500km on the odometer and benefitting from a fresh major overhaul and clean bill of health, chassis number 54797 is a top-tier example of this ultra-desirable 288 GTO. The original warranty book, service book, user manuals and pouch and, of course, the Ferrari Classiche binder are the proverbial cherries on the cake.»
