Very nice 250 GTO video. Some corrections:
Stirling Moss never raced a 250 GTO although he did test the unpainted Prototype at Monza in 1961.
Only 2 4 litre cars were built with the 1962 GTO body shape, 330 LMs chassis 3765LM and 4561SA. It was once claimed that 3673SA was a 330 LM (1962 style GTO body) and was the 1962 Nurburgring 1000 KM number 120 car but this was 3765 LM.
There is no proof of what 250 GTO #4153 GT actually sold for and what David MacNeil paid for it. It was reportedly sold for around $68 million but no proof.
The 250 GTO with number 6 crashing at Goodwood at 4:25 in your video is a replica that the owner races in place of the real chassis 4399 GT.
The car in your video at 5:43 showing the engine being revved is a replica based on a 330 GT 2+2. The engine is a 4 litre 330 GT tipo 209 330 GT unit.
All 250 GTOs used 6 double choke Weber carburettor. None had 3 as stated.
The car you show at 10:53 is a Drogo rebodied 250 GT SWB chassis #2053GT. It is not a 250 GTO prototype. There is some unproved speculation that the 250 GTO Prototype was based on 2053 GT but even if so, it had a different body then to the one you show which was a Drogo body.
The car at 12:00 is a replica based on a 330 GT 2+2.
The 1964 250 GTO from the cockpit at around 12:15 and later in the video numbered 111 is a replica built by Roelofs Engineering, NL.

Fun fact, every Wednesday night a lot of old Ferrari guys like Stephen Mitchell (GTO s/n 3987GT) and Matthew Ettinger (breadvan!!!) Stephen has some GTO videos on his @GTO3987 channel with some stories of racing his in SoCal in the 70s.

The 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé was sold for 135 million EUR —> most expensive car in history.

although 330 Gto looked the same as regular 250 Gto was slightly larger one car that the factory raced came with 4 litre engine and original 250 Gto body was changed to 3 litre this was the only one built

While naming competitors, there is no mention of the Shelby Daytona Coupe hmmmmm

Nice video, not very technical / forgot to mention that the GTO, among all the other many changes from the SWB, also had the engine slightly pushed back for a better handling. Too many repeated images. The car with numbers 44 and 59 is not a factory car, it started life as a 250 SWB chassis 2053 sold to an amateur. After an interesting somehow complicated life, it was rebodied by Drogo.

You would think 250/275P chassis 0816 than won two outright Le Mans in 63/64 would be much more collectable and valuable and what about Testarossa won 4 though different models. Love the Zagato Tour De France models built most beautiful Ferrari' s ever👍

There were 41 cars in total when you include the 2 prototypes. and the first prototype was built with spare parts on the shelf in the storage barn.

Thank You
