Carlo Voegele arrives at Château de Gilly in S/N 4561SA.

Sitting in the 250 Mille Miglia Vignale Spider #0274 MM is author and former owner of GTO 3607 GT, Mr. Jess G. Pourret. He is speaking to GTO reunion organizer P. Paul Pappalardo. Pourret had been invited to France and came with his ALASKA registered 250 MM (this car had been owned by Pappalardo many years ago).


At Château de Gilly, S/N 3767 cools off next to 4399. Both are owned by Anthony P. Bamford of Great Britain.

You can lead a cavallino to water, but—22 GTOs (minus John Shirley’s 3729) circle the spectacular watering hole at the Château Bazoches de Morvan near Vézelay.


Tom Price brought S/N 3943 from California for a nice lunch in France but had to battle for parking spots with his peers.

Steve Pilkington’s S/N 3527 enjoys the company of the GTOs of Bernie Carl and Paul Vestey.


Greg Whitten’s GTO, S/N 3413 left, at rest next to S/N 3705 of Ed Davies, Bernie Carl’s S/N 3387 and five others at the Basilique Saint-Madeleine on the hilltop of Vézelay.

A line up of GTOs at the track in Dijon is headed by S/N 5111 of P. Paul Pappalardo and S/N 5575 owned by Carl Hank Rhon.


Renuited with his former race car, Jean Guichet (left) talks to Ed Davies, current owner of S/N 3705.. With this car Guichet had placed 2nd Overall at Le Mans 1962 and had owned it from 1962 to 1963.

S/Ns 3705, 4219 and 3345GT, per Ed Davies, Brandon Wang and Yoshiho Matsuda.


Ed Davies, S/N 3705, takes at turn in the rain at Dijon.

It didn’t rain all day at Dijon, allowing Pierre Bardinon’s S/N 5573GT to bask in the French sun for a while.
