    In Miska's Lusso book no back up lights on the many photos in the book. My 4537 does not have a back up light. The light is easy to add owing to the gearbox provision as shown previously. As with many modifications to early Ferrari's over the years; owners were able to easily do many small mods per personal choice, now these "changes" are questioned at todays concourses.

    I could not find a demarcation point by chassis number to determine when reverse lights may have been added. For example, the Steve McQueen Lusso has a reverse light (period pictures with him in the car) and this car is before our car 5003, that does not have a reverse light. At this point I am in agreement that the addition of the reverse light was probably a customer choice.

    Yes, driven by Luigino Barp, the then head of Classiche department during the cavalcade classic in Sardinia (2018). Absolutely gorgeous car. Unfortunately not for sale, at least not for me, I tried in every possible way!
