    Looks like the right-rear frame is cracked in a couple of places.

    I have a 208 GT4 from 1975 with serial number 11310. This should be a 1977 car with 11078? Well, stranger things have happened. It is a serie 2.

    The paint has obviously been polished, but very little time or effort appears to have been spent elsewhere to prepare it for sale. The steering wheel certainly looks like it's been driven a lot further than the odometer would suggest, so I think it's probably been around the clock.

    I'd say the paint hasn't just been polished, the car's had a "re-sale" paint job done - it's just too fresh and shiny (and I'm pretty certain Ferrari didn't "colour-code" the windscreen washer jets at the factory! ;) )

    It's not only the steering wheel that doesn't seem to match up with the 8106 miles on the clock - The whole of the underside of the car looks to have done a lot more miles too!

    TBH, looking at the pictures of the topside and the underside, I'd have some serious concerns.

    For a start it looks as though the entire underside requires a full restoration carrying out, and I'd have concerns as to just what exactly the shiny new paint job is hiding!

    Steering clear. I think someone pointed out they noticed the directionals light up instead of brakelights:)

    Wonders if the stock wheels are available. Engine looks and sounds like it should be looked over by a qualified Ferrari specialist.
