If you study you will be able to tell if something is real or not. That said there is often confusion about cars as was the case in the D Jags you mentioned. A good mag for this is "Sports Car Market" which goes into this and Gerald's " Ferrari Market Letter".
Sometimes cars are obvious fakes, sometimes they are less obvious fakes, and sometimes the truth is a bit elusive or complex. If you're curious there's a long thread on my P4 (Search P4) which goes into this.

Hi, an interesting point i would like to make is this.Yesterday i went to the Auto italia show in the UK, and there was a 1960s gto that was also there i dont know the type but its the one with the three air ducts in the nose. anyway i could not find the owner and the car was locked with the engine bay shut. the car did not have as many people around it as i thought it would have,and i asked someone near me if it was a real one and he replyed that he thought so, i said this as a complete Ferrari novice and ment no disrespect becourse i know that there was alot of replicas that was built on the old Datsun 240zx.And if you have never seen one before how do you know,what spured me to ask the question is becourse there was also a 250LM gto there and i over heard two people that seemed to know there stuff that there were two other cars in the world that had the same chassis numbers as this one.So does this mean there are two replicas that the owners swear are the real macoy.I saw a TV program last month where a guy fron the US brought a Jaguar car for a very high sum just becourse he owned the other one with the same numbers. How can this be? C |
