    what we saw in 2013, 2016 as well as in 2017 should be pretty clear now

    Of course we need to wait for The Messias who says: "I already new this from the beginning and have it all on record"

    Does anyone have any interior (such as dashboard, seats, gearbox tunnel, footwells etc) and engine pictures of the genuine 250 GTO 4399 either to post here or email me at [email protected]? Many thanks in advance.

    I took this photo in 2016 at Goodwood before she crashed her nose. Don't care about those cars. They've been crashed so often and have been altered with every repair a little bit. That's just their history. As lons as the repair is good, just see it like a tyre change. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Thank you. This is the alleged replica and more pics of this would be appreciated too. Any engine and more interior shots to compare?

    The replica 4399GT shown as the Goodwood 1963 winner is based on 330 GT 2+2 #6713 and was also present at the Revival in 2016. In 1978 this conversion was made in the USA and was repainted as the Goodwood winner in very recent years.

    All one simply needs to do is compare the shape of the driver's-side fog light opening in the two photos (i.e. the driver's side being on the right as one views the nose from afar, as it's a RHD car, etc.).

    In the second photo, the discernibly crooked orientation of this fog light opening relative to both the mouth and headlight cover clearly differs from its appearance one week later at the Concours.

    Also, the windshield wipers park in 180-degree opposite directions from one photo to the other.

    The Union Jack on the front of the car at Goodwood is upside down (credit to Ed -Torquespeak who pointed that out on twitter). I'm sure that must be a deliberate decision.

    Before the crash the 'Goodwood' car was on pole and the actual pole winning time of the JD Classics E Type was only a few hundreds quicker. People at JD Classics have told me that E Type makes easily over 450bhp which leads to think that the 'Goodwood' car has a pretty trick engine as well.

    So was it the original car at St. James Concours in 2013 or not?
    And GTO Ann. Tours?

    Anyone photos of the car PRE- 2004?

    Image Unavailable, Please Login When were the bonnet louvres added?
    Are they present on the real 4399GT?
    At the last race in 1965 it still had the Le Mans type bonnet without louvres.
    Does the real car have the extra oval shaped lights?
    When and by whom was this original car restored? Rod Jolley, RS Panels or Les Monks?
