    Says Ferrari performed the restoration. Tons of inaccurate elements which is surprising.

    Other than leather quality...which I believe is greater...what are you seeing?
    Steering wheel?

    msdesignltd I am differently not an expert (Paul Newman is the man to ask) but due to you asking this is what I see. All real easy fixes except for the exhaust:

    -Radiator cap should be two ear shape with a 0.09 rating (the current one has a higher rating), most likely yellow cad plated
    -The hardware on the radiator overflow tank should be yellow cad washer with natural color screw
    -The hose connecting the two fuel tanks is black, should be Cavis green hose as well as the overflow hose
    -The P clamps holding the hoses above the bell housing are in the wrong place and there is only one, need two and they need to be connected to the bell housing
    -Missing binding straps on the air box’s and starter motor (this is a big miss)
    -Ground wire on the ignition coil should be red
    -Screws on the air box covers should be pan head slot screws natural color
    -Exhaust should not be painted black (they need to be sandblasted back to their natural color)
    -Bolts holding on front rear bumper should be yellow cad
    -Bolts that hold front and rear clams should be blacked out
    -Radio is not stock
    -Leather is coming loose and overlapping ignition in dash
    -The hardware that goes into the latches when the bonnets are closed, attached to each bonnet needs to be blacked out
    -The hook that releases the front bonnet needs to be yellow cad
    -Air box lettering is scratched (these can be redone)

    Not to mention the protruding bumpers added front and rear when the car was federalized.

    And the ugly side marker lights! Car looks nice, but if it were me and I was doing a full restoration, I would use the opportunity to return the car back to it's original Euro spec form.
