Is that an F40 LM?

Yes, yes it is. One of only 17 built, so a very rare sight!

Apologies for the terrible photo, It's not just a badged up C220 as it sounded right and had the wheels, exhausts etc but my first new shape C63 spot..

What's with the plate?

im guessing the other half was blanked to protect identity etc?

Never understand why you would do that on a photo you've just taken of a car in public.

Found this lovely car in my local Waitrose this afternoon:

Google search says it's an Alvis Silver Eagle Six

You just wouldn't get that at ASDA.

I don't think that F40 is an LM, also it highlights how st black wheels are.

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

Agree, I couldn't really give a toss if the owner wanted his car photographed or not. If it's a car in public place then it's fair game.

Well at least there a few people out there like Max who show a little respect for others.

Part of a extensive collection I had the very good fortune to be shown around, the old and new. All cars are in perfect condition!

[Pothole]

Shame to have all those lovely motors and keep them in what looks like an importer's shed at the docks!

Or more likely its a good idea to keep all those cars somewhere that people wouldn't think of looking.

[Links181]

Private collection, private garage and cars are used as and when they can be. All fully running.
