Looks like a Tribute...

Yes, it looks like Geoff,s 250.
This yellow one could reach over 15 million Euros at Pebble Beach in the next few days.

But are those 2 eared knock-off spinners correct !!! And where are the jacking point covers? And those indicators look frenched in. No quarter-lights.
It would be nice to be able to obtain some reasonably priced wire wheels that emulated those Borranis... I have the same requirement for my Z300S.

It's surprising how there seems to be subtle differences between SWBs. Must be down to options and the hand built nature of such cars.

Is anyone planning on fitting the chrome bumpers?

I was thinking I might. Need to get it fitted and see what it looks like. Possibly paper mache with tin foil to check the look

There were four distinct series of changes during the lifecycle of the SWB and this yellow car is a very early example of the first type - hence its expected price.
Notice that it has different side window profiles without quarter lights, no repeater indicators on the front wings, it won't have brake ducts behind the bumpers, no cooling vents behind the wheel arches, as well as the things you mention.

Mmmmm, you don't get much for 15 million Euros these days!

But you would if you could

Wouldn't we all RRB!

Here in the states maybe we have more options than y'all. I understand there are strict wheel and tire size restrictions for operation/MOT in the UK so this may not apply but the best two I've found are Dayton reverse cross laced wheels w/spin offs (not my car):
Or what I have for mine are 1970s Appliance 14x7 5 bolt wires and faux spinners

Certainly some attractive wheel/spinner/adaptor combinations for about 25% of what we'd pay here BUT "will not ship to UK".
Perhaps a group buy needed.

It is well worth asking the seller to quoter UK delivery. It is quite a bit more work to list all the postal charges for world wide delivery locations but quite simple if a customer asks for a single location.
Don't forget that to the average Septic the rest of the world doesn't exist!

Obviously don't call them 'Septics' when asking for a quote...

It made $13M but didn't reach the reserve so there's an opportunity to sneak in for a cash buy

Chris Evans is also selling his white 250 SWB replica, sorry, Tribute.
