None! Great pics of it here:

I don't think it's that exact car. Some details are different.
Based on that, I think it's 'just' an early 275 GTB with some Competizione-style body mods. Still a very nice thing though.

Yes, good sleuthing you two. In my defence I wasn't expecting an homage to an existing livery to be a thing, proving again I'm not as clever as I think I am.

The phrase I should have used is "Great pics of the car it wants to be here:"

I'll leave before it's pointed out I've been hoodwinked by a 240Z!!

Hi there,

Here are some more pics of the car spotted outside The Berkeley Hotel.
These were taken by me in June 2014 in Manchester at an event outside the Great Northern Warehouse. The event was James Martins Supercar Sunday and the assembled cars were some of his collection at the time.







If you watch the recent Jodie Kidd episode where she interviews James and visits his collection you can see the car is still there (approx 10 mins 50 secs)

No photo sadly as I was driving, fabulous sounding Ferrari 250 GTE in Totnes this afternoon!

Not often you see a Ferrari and number plate is possibly worth more.



Never seen one of these in the wild before. Sounded amazing.



And this one should probably go in the badly modified thread..

Towerbridge on Saturday. Nice Ferrari and a questionably coloured RR

As much as the plate is very valuable but I seriously doubt it’s worth more than a La Ferrari!

It isn't a LaF

I hate to be that guy (no, really, I do). But that Chiron really does look like an ungainly lump when seen next to that work of art.

Plate probably worth about £50k and it's displayed a little deceiving on the car,
F8's start at about £250k
