Chassis:
After a brief test at Monza, during which a rear spoiler was added to the tail for aerodynamic stability, this, the second 250 GTO, was shipped to Luigi Chinetti in the United States. Upon taking delivery, he entered it in the Sebring 12 Hours for works drivers Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien. They placed second overall and first in class, scoring the type's first major victory. It was soon after sold to Bob Grossman, who campaigned the car on both sides of the Atlantic until the spring of 1963. Subsequent owner Mike Gammino continued to race the car until the end of 1965. Having had just two American owners from 1978 onwards, the second GTO was sold to a British enthusiast during the late 2010s. It was comprehensively restored before it joined a spectacular French collection in 2020. Regularly used, it was driven on the road from London to Paris in 2024 to be shown at that year’s Richard Mille Chantilly Arts & Elegance.
