I see that GTO engineering supply an identical chassis to the original 250 SWB which must be different to that of a period or later car supplied by them or the customer (unless it’s an original 250 SWB, in which case it’s worth millions).

Having lost the original identity the car must be IVA’d before it can be registered and driven on the UK road. With things like spinners, snap exhausts and toggle switches, never mind all the sharp edges there is no way one of these cars would pass IVA.

I know a while back there were examples of people buying up old Duttons and illegally using their identity on other cars, is this any different?
yeah about £435,000 different
but i make you right ..seems that this is common practice in the ferrari world
