    Ok looks like 3657GT with a new registration plate.

    For the 1960 RHD, I have 1993, 1995, 2119, 2221 and 2335GT.
    For the 1961 RHD, I have 2735, 3037, 3067, 3281, 3287, 3463, 3605 and 3657GT.

    Total of 13. What is the 14th RHD 250 SWB ?

    See Ferrari Yearbook 1963 with photo taken at Italian Festival in Melbourne.
    Here's a pic showing the chassis number 3551 stamped in the gearbox tunnel.

    The green car at DK is surely 3281, this went from Aus back to the UK some years ago.

    3551 is still here AFAIK, despite many determined attempts to buy it!

    The now green car with DK Engineering (now sold) is 3657 which has had a recent colour change.

    3281 is still with the Irish owner who bought it in the 1990's. Repainted in 2015, still original colour. Paul Baber posted pictures on this forum.

    Yes, 3551 is still in Australia.....behind an iron curtain !!

    Paul, off-topic but I noticed the link to the Cars for Sale on your website is broken. Not sure if on purpose or not, but you may want to look into it.

    And in my humble opinion its totally ruined. I have sold this car twice, in 1996 and again in 2008. It was completely original with all books and tools and even came with an unstamped correct engine still in its Ferrari crate..............Now, no books or tools, spare engine has disappeared and car TOTALLY restored with modern paint........ Yes it looked stunning on JD's stand but it also looked brand new..........So sad. Pictures date from 2008 when stored in LA........
