My second 458 in as many days, this time a blue one just entering Nene court car park Wellingborough. Blue this time though. I think these things must be breeding in Northamptonshire.

The guys working on the car (where I've been having some work done on my Mondial) can confirm it is a real LM. Lovely piece of kit.

Is that an F40 LM?
Yes, yes it is. One of only 17 built, so a very rare sight!
No it's not it's a modified road car

Easy way to spot the real thing is they have an extra (third) naca duct in the sill. The replicas never have this. A real one would also have plexi side windows.

The wing is an easy mod you just unbolt the original and put the replica LM wing between the endplates. Another giveaway between a replica and a real LM is a real LM would have a supporting spar in the center of the rear clam where the numberplate would normally go. The wing puts that much pressure on the rear clam at speed the clam would bend without the extra support. The replicas never have it.

There's lots of other ways to spot the difference like the gurney flap at the back, fixed headlights, various race paraphernalia like recovery points and air line connections and some pretty obvious differences if you look through the rear window but you can't see any of those from that pic.

They were actually 19 official factory built Michelotto LMs with 5 further GTE's there's also 27 further non official privater LM's

For reference a real LM

Brilliant

You're paranoid enough to remove the plate on the BMW but clearly not considerate enough to remove the one from the car parked behind

The Punto owner came running out of his house before I could use my big blue crayon on his plate,so I ran off.silly

Sounded superb and great weather to be driving round in one of these.

Is this a real one? From an Aston run in Farsley, West Yorkshire last year to celebrate the old DB tractor factory in town that knocked out a few DB3s ...

TRS 262 - according to 'cartell.ie' it is a JAGUAR XJ6 3.4 AUTO. DVLA concurs... JAGUAR, 1985, Cylinder capacity 3442cc, GREY. Vehicle status = SORN in place, and an MOT that expires in June. So a replica? Looks like a good 'un though, and a lot of fun too.

I'm not sure what's worse - someone who doesn't own a Ferrari wearing a jacket like that or someone who does own one wearing it.

Not a supercar. Spotted in Oxford, what is this? Often see prototype Minis but this doesn't look like one. Grille at the front speaks Jaguar to me.
