    Very nice that Charles L. appreciates classics and owns a 275GTB short nose.

    He got to test a 275GTB at Fiorano a couple of years ago, that might be what sparked his interest. He had stated at the time that it was very, very different to anything he had experienced but that he really liked it.

    He just recently lent it to his brother Lorenzo for his wedding day and here he can be seen a day or two ago using it to take his gf Alexandra out for her birthday. It appears to be verde pino.

    Do we know its chassis number and history?

    You have a lot of pictures on his personal profile.

    I sincerely find it disgusting to take a screenshot of the marriage on someone's profile (wassap Instagram Facebook etc) and spread that photo everywhere, like any other picture took in a personal profil without permission.

    Before everything, it s a personal profil. You are invited to join it as "public person".
    For me it s completely different.

    He makes these public, let's stay on topic, do we know which chassis that is?

    Not the best "date" car but I think Charlie doesn't have far to drive!

    I like the loading order...:p

    I take my pup in the Ferrari, but only if the shotgun seat is empty!
    She has the same breed as my dear friend in Germany, which is a little smaller!

    Monte Carlo is also a special sort of place (IMO) as since "forever" the people there pretty much knew, and usually welcomed the paparazzi

    Maybe the flaming Enzo driver, with his married Russian date being the exception.

    Actually paparazzis are banned in Monaco, these photos and videos are taken by "car spotters" enthusiast kids, there are lots of them, with Instagram etc accounts.

    You could say that's a pretty narrow difference but...

    I am always amazed at the patience of drivers with them, Charles in particular.

    The Enzo fiery crash with Russian man and date was not in Monaco but in Nice near the airport. Yes it exposed the woman's infidelity. She illegally fled France back to Russia. He was badly hurt or worse, can't recall.

    I may be completely wrong too but the Macari car looks a different colour and darker, black even, whereas the Clarles Leclerc car looks a dark green and also does not have a PF badge on the driver's left hand side that the Macari car does have.

    If you scroll through this public Instagram post by Charles there are several photos of the car in broad daylight at his brother Lorenzo's recent wedding: looks like verde pino with light brown interior, Monaco number plate 160F.

    Exactly. If Leclerc didn’t want people seeing the car or sought privacy then he wouldn’t be driving it around MONACO in front of EVERYONE.

    I’ll be there in a couple of days and will look out for it…

    I have to say, credit to Charles for having a car like that and driving it around as well.

    Beautiful car. I always had the opinion that the original short nose is MUCH better looking than the long nose.

    The long one only happened to cure high speed lift. The short one has more of a design connection to previous models such as the TDF covered headlights.

    Good work, could well be. The fact that it did a cavalcade puts it within the cars whose owners the factory is in touch with so if Charles asked them to find him a good one....
