The Ferrari 250 GTO Spotting Guide

Every 250 GTO, chassis by chassis

Inspired by the spotting books that delighted young British car, train and plane enthusiasts from the 1950s to the 1980s, as well as aircraft livery books, this book offers a fresh look at the Ferrari 250 GTO. It follows the evolution of the livery and bodywork of each of the 36 cars, from the day they left the factory to the present.

More than 770 illustrations

Each car has its own chapter, and every one of its evolutions is illustrated by the author in a style reminiscent of 1960s lithographs. Together they show every change of livery, and the many alterations made to each body over more than sixty years.

The definitive identification tool

Which 250 GTO did you see, today or at any time since 1962? Races and historic events, number plates, successive owners: every clue is listed to help you tell. A tick-box spotting log lets you record the cars you have seen.
