Pics of vintages I find/see on the net.

haha yes! I wanted to say hi but I didn’t want to bother you…
Same here. You were really concentrated on the F40

Who is that guy? Seems like he's everywhere.

 

Thanks Marcel. I fat-fingered my post (that's my excuse ) - I meant 5117 GT.

 

Perhaps.

 

Just see it today in the central London, anybody knows about this car? Should be a earlier period 275 GTB, the number plate (EYE 1) also provides that, shows it is a 1964 car with 3300 CC, however, the UK system doesn’t document the engine/chassis number for this car.

External trunk hinges and larger backlight would indicate that this is a long nose, so not 1964.

 

Thanks for your reply sir, now I also noticed the door-lock is below the door handle, so it should be a long-nose. Actually as far as I know, only 06521 is a 64-made RHD 275 GTB, but it still wears the number plate "DTV 304B".

Since the UK system cannot correspond the engine number, it truly gives me a sence that this could be a mismatched car, or even a replica, but unfortunately the car was moving, so my friend only has this picture.

 

It is a 4 cam. Seen by me at Hampton Court 2020.

Do we agree the 512 M shown at Rétromobile is the same than the one at Le Mans museum and so, a replica of 1044 ?

 

Short nose 275 GTB with LN 4 cam front panels.

 

I agree that's the same car as the one at LM museum, but I don't think it's a replica. The car displayed at Retromobile was said to be Classiche certified.

 

The placard next to the 512 M on the Richard Mille stand clearly stated 1044.

Seems the "EYE" is in everywhere BTW sir do you have some other methods to identify a 275 GTB long nose and a GTB/4? I know the bonnet would be the easiest way but not all the pictures would be so ideal, like my friend's one.

 

Originally, 4 Cams had a "prancing horse" badge on the trunk lid, 2 Cams did not.

 

Our alloy 2 cam 8069 had the horse on the trunk when purchased in 1973. I have always assumed it was original unless an early owner added it.

 

Bob: That is the problem. Our 2 Cam had a horse on its' trunk when we bought it in 1972. Later I found photos of the car taken in 1965, guess what, no horse. As we studied the cars all those years ago, we began to figure out those things.

 

4 cams have external trunk lid hinges.

 

So do long nose 2 cams.

 

According to Marcel the cavallino on the boot lid was an option available for the 2 cam cars.

 

Some original owners had it specifically requested. There's factory documentation for this.

Then, REPLICA or not ??

 

The Cavallino could also be deleted on the 4 cam. See Tom Hartley Jr here referring to 275 GTB/4 #10169.

 

What I said is true, what Marcel said is true, and what Steve said is true. 4 Cams had the horse as standard, 2 Cams did not. Both cars could have that changed by special order.
