Laurent Tay of Garage43, thank you.
F288GTO Evoluzione based on the 288GTO Evoluzione and F40 MR Kits. Extensively modified to perfectly match the actual factory cars of which only 5 were ever made. Laurent has seriously done a lot of modifications to this piece of art to make it nothing less than perfect. I have yet to have personally seen any 288GTO Evoluzione built to these specifications/level. Some parts in the 288 kit were missing and he had to get it from the F40 kit to build it like the actual car.
This is a 'One Off' exclusively built for me and not for sale.

Thanks! Yes he has taken this to a whole new different level. I got to admit I was really excited to collect this model. He took a good 5-6 months to build this painstakingly. I don't think he is going to build another one like this again, well not for now at least.

Given the colossal amount of work that obviously went into it, that is understandable!
