So I was lucky enough to spot this stunning classic Ferrari earlier today. I think it's a 275 GTB? But I am not that clued up on classic cars and would love to know for certain. And if the owner is on here, well done on owning a beautiful and rare piece of exotica!

I ran the reg plate through the online tax thingy to see if it was a replica, it looks to me like it's genuine? The year of manufacture is 1965, which is about right?

No idea why it's listed as being red though! Surely it would be kept original?

I really wish I'd had the time to stop and chat to the owner now, if it is there next time I go past I will have a chat and find out more.

It does seem likely that it is a replica then, a beautiful replica though! I think it it's possible to request the DVLA change the manufacturer of a vehicle? I'm sure I've seen it done on other replicas.

Well I just popped in to the garage I seen it outside of and spoke to the garage owner, he told me it is genuine and the same customer has had 4 MOT's done on his classic cars this week including one done on his Jaguar XK150!!
