Still, I think it's very cool that they copied an actual s/n plate right down to the correct engine and chassis types as well as the s/n itself! VERY cool!

So much so, that I noticed there were numbers printed on the Serial Number plate in the engine bay. I had to find out whether it was real, or just scribble... Using my Dad's special lenses and prisms, I crudely rig'ed-up my digicam to take pictures of the plate. Here it is: I checked with my copy of Hilary Raab Jr.'s Serial Number book and it checks out okay: 18893, 1975 Euro Fibreglass 308 GTB. Now, I expect Wayne to give a full report on the car and Jack Habits probably has info on it too in his database...
