    We have seen this type of assumption before.

    For example: because he was a car-guy, every exotic in Iran that has been there since the 70s is assumed to have belonged to the Shah. Not correct at all.

    There are a number of wealthy people who may or may not be connected to that regime that could be the owner.

    Because his Rossa Corsa Ferrari was left in the sun and exposed to the elements for years. Older Ferraris were painted red and black (and a few other colors) with lacquer based paint which fades very quickly if not properly cared for, in addition red fades quicker than almost any other paint.



    Now that's funny.

    The picture of the 550 is about 10 years old, days after the sons got killed.

    The plate shown is from 85317, despite how it looks.

    85347 is a 348.
