Could this be the real deal?!
Ferrari P4 on the back of a low loader.
- now the low loader and exposed would make me doubt it anywhere else in the world.. but you see plenty of seriously valuable cars transported like this here.
Even if its not the real deal, its stunning in every way. One of my all time favourites for sure.

Ok...so #23 was the Daytona 24hrs winning car in 1967. Lorenzo Bandini (with Chris Amon) came first in 1-2-3 for Ferrari.
Now whilst Bandini would be dead a few weeks later from burn injuries sustained at the Monaco Grand Prix, it would seem that the underlying chassis - #0846 - has an interesting provenance. Or not. Chassis #0846 was, as I understand, meant to have been destroyed beyond use at Le Mans (also in '67).
Keith Blumel: "Burned at Le Mans 1967 - The car was returned to Maranello. Bodywork: Almost completely destroyed. Right side distribution system and fuel tank burned. Disassembled all the mechanical components and sent the chassis to customer service department for eventual use. There is nothing to say that the car has been sold and for Ferrari a car with the chassis number 0846 does not exist."
Now this is where there is a potential truth parallax. Skip forward a few years, and David Piper sells a car to James Glickenhaus, circa 2000. Glickenhaus registers chassis with Ferrari as....#0846. Ferrari make no attempt to challenge nor object to the registration. Meanwhile Shiro Kosaka, a Japanese collector, has taken ownership of the P5, said by some to re-use the parts of #0846 that were left over from the fiery incident.
I believe Glickenhaus commissioned a nuts and bolts dismantling and commissioning of the car that he bought, and there is enough information to sustain that he had inherited - unbeknownst to him originally - the remains of the #23 car. So that being said, if he was happy with its pedigree, and gathering his primus inter pares status amongst Ferrari collectors, then you'd doubt he would want to part with a car of such history and provenance (i.e. sold to someone in the Middle East, or transported in such a way). But that's my view.
My guess is that this is a Norwood. A fine, fine replica. And still worth £250k plus.
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know."

It's the locations you see them that have changed I guess.
Location does make a difference - around here we see CGTs all the time as they're built here but I saw an orange Gallardo on Sunday, and that's very unusual. Nothing compared to what's on these pages, but it is 'in the sticks'.Danny3320 said:

....have a look at the missing Ferrari badge just behind the front wheel, the missing classic Shell (and other stickers) and no Hoosiers on the rear. There are a fair few replicas going around, and from the pictures Amari have, to the ones posted above there are a few differences.
Remember: "...known knowns...known unknowns...."

I'll stick my neck out: 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe.
The additional chrome rhomboid and the 3d 'Woo Circle' at each end of the wheelbase points the finger at the model year. I think.
If I'm right, this might just be a little bit of automotive history, insomuch as the 62 was the progenitor of the fintail look. Whilst things went turbo through the 50s as pretty much every American design - and a few European, reference a '53 Bentley Continental R - cottoned on, here they almost go unnoticed.
Saw this a couple of doors down from the forlorn Aston Martin Vantage Special Series II. As an aside, I'm genuinely bemused that such an interesting and (almost literally!) unique car just sits there, through the four seasons, desperately sinking into its shoes. It could be due to a few things: lost keys, the owner has dashed off from the taxman, the live-in maid can't drive....anyway, might be worth dropping a letter through the post to see if there is interest to sell...
I won't hold much hope, seeing as some of the houses on the road have remained empty for nearly thirty years, but nothing ventured, nothing gained!
