Is the No. plate covering the reversed-font 'Turbo' sticker on the front though?
Now you've mentioned it, I'd forgotten about that from my old Observers book of cars. Google images suggests that some have it, some don't, and those that do have "2002" on one side, and "turbo" on the other, inside the blue stripe, so the number plate wouldn't cover it.LARK F1 GTR said:

That should be LHD.
It obviously isn't an original one then.Matt_T said:

That's a rebodied 330 owned by former McLaren team manager Alistair Caldwell. It's a regular at Goodwood events.On a summer trip to New Zealand, I noticed a magazine article about a company in Auckland NZ who had built a Ferrari GTO replica. I went to see this car and was most impressed by it; after making some enquiries decided to have my 330 GT made into a GTO replica by this company. Sadly after over a year’s work and lots of money, they went bankrupt on me so I was left with an unfinished badly done car which had cost me a lot of money.
I then decided to do the job myself. I found the premises and hired 3 young men, one of whom was the original bodywork man from the bankrupt company – Gavin Tindell — and after a further eighteen months or so and another considerable amount of money, a tool room perfect 250 GTO replica emerged. They did a great job and the car is now back in England ready for action.

The last one about the 76 season with Hunt is a riot. There’s some book in him.

well it is basically just a GTS with funny body trim etc isn't it?
Nope.Per above, it's quite a bit more than that.
Does it justify the premium? That's subjective.
It's definitely not just a GTS with added trim though.
