    Noticed a recent listing from Broad Arrow Auctions for this next Monterey car week that the above car will be offered.

    Article mentions that since it won TDF three straight times that it has earned the moniker "TDF" for short reference.

    I may remember the three time win, but not from the same vehicle.

    I'll do more research/reading, however any insight to how this car was treated over the years?
    Thanks.

    No louvre/wrap around rear window 250 GT LWB #0557 GT = 1956 winner.
    14 Louvre 250 GT LWB #677 GT = 1957 winner.
    1 Louvre 250 GT LWB #1033 GT = 1958 winner.
    250 GT LWB Interim #1523 GT = 1959 winner.

    The 3 louvre 250 GT LWB being auctioned as #0619 GT was number swapped from/with #0805 GT.

    Nobody claims that 0619 GT won the Tour de France and certainly not three times anyway.

    Reading the site's history I see now the previously article that got my interest was worded incorrectly. The site does show 0619's history better and alone is impressive.

    Reading more on 0619 now. Thanks, sorry for the misunderstanding.
