Siamese Twin 330 GTSs  take awards at Concorso Italiano 2002

By Paul Gilpatrick Fourteen 330s including 5 330 GTSs showed up for this year's Concorso Italiano in Monterey. The two 330GTSs that took class awards, Dean Gardner's 330 GTS s/n 10599 and James Buese's s/n 10567 were presented side by side both in Navy and Tan. Actually, Deane lists his color as Tourbillon Blue after it has recently been completely restored after 25 years in a shed. 330 GTS s/n 10567 Large X Large 330 GTS s/n 10599 Large X Large 330 GTS s/n 10567 Large X Large Now for you serial number buffs, these cars were built in succession, and are truly sister cars. 330 GTS S/N 10567 shows body number CO331 with S/N 10599 associated with CO333.
