Ralph Lauren Ferrari For Sale on ExoticTraderOnline.com

American fashion designer Ralph Lauren's 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO, one of only 272 originally produced, is for sale on ExoticTraderOnline.com. Ralph Lauren, a well-known collector of classic cars, entered this car in the 2004 Ferrari French Quarter Classic, where the car won "Gold" status.

The 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO was originally built for the Group B rally race series, but was never entered. All of the original cars were sold before production started in July 1984, and by the time production ceased in early 1986, an extra 73 cars had been added to satisfy customer demand.

The car is being sold by Maine Line Exotics, from Biddeford, Maine.
