A total of 33-40 (depending on how you count) Ferrari GTO's was built. With a rough average estimate at today's price level of $40 million dollar they add up to let's say to one and a half billion dollar alltogether. From this you can understand that each and every GTO is interesting to a certain group of car afficionados that was never interested in cars or Ferraris before.

Still there are many people who love them for what they are. The spanish magazine Autodrómo has produced a special about one car that gained some fame in Spain. And thus is equally intersting to both groups...
 
  Owned new by a Belgian team, from 1966 to 1969 Ferrari 250 GTO chassis 4153GT was raced in Spain. During those four years the car was driven by various drivers, in hillclimbs, rallyes and track races. First painted red, later yellow the Ferrari participated in almost 20 events. By the end of 1969 the car was not competitive and sat for a long time at the back of a workshop, until it was sold on to France in the 70s. The 92-page special issue about #4153GT# comes in Spanish & English, with many photos never seen before. All the races will be covered, and the drivers who raced the car will be interviewed. The issue will be presented at the Espíritu de Montjuic (17-19 April)  and will be availble through the website of Autodrómo as well of course.
