    Your photos show a RHD car.
    05050 was originally left hand drive (LHD) despite delivery to Maranello Concessionaires Ltd. in the UK.
    05050 was originally Azzurro Dino 20-A-349 with black leather VM 8500 and completed at the factory 29 September 1972.

    WLB 645L is chassis no 05070. It was sold at auction by Coys in 2004 then sold twice again - through an unknown dealer in 2007 and then through Top555 in 2012. I saw it having some bodywork profiling done before it was repainted for sale in 2012.

    The photo's you have linked to must be fairly recent (last three years maximum) as there is a Lamborghini Huracan in one of them.

    #05070 was originally delivered in Rosso Rubino Metallizzato with a red leather interior and Top555 did briefly consider returning it to Rosso Rubino but unfortunately decided against it. Here are photo's of it at their premises.

    Iain,thank you for the detailed information,well spotted on the Huracan ( or is it a Gallardo?),i do not know who took those photos.

    The Dino world is pretty small,so maybe someone on here will know the present owners.

    Btw your cars are just amazing!

    Just for the record, was the license no. changed from WWB 645L to WLB645L?

    I am not sure,perhaps it is a typo?DVLA is showing WWB 645L ,so i assume that is correct.
