All 250 GTO’s to meet at Pebble Beach

One of the greatest and most sought after Ferrari’s must be the 250 GTO. Based on the Ferrari 250 GT SWB chassis, the 250 GTO evolved from an experimental test car, the 1961 250 GT Sperimentale, which was raced by Stirling Moss to a GT win and fourth overall at Daytona. Production of the 250 GTO began later that year and many racing successes followed. Only thirty-six 250 GTOs were originally produced, as well as two 330 GTOs with larger capacity engines. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of this model, all owners have been invited to take part in the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Sunday, August 21 and more than twenty have already accepted the invitation.
