    just found this on youtube:

    at min 22 it looks like a 250 GT/E, serie 3 at min. 22:38 ( rear lights ) but at min 22:20 the front bumper is 2 pieces, not only 1. I never have seen this on a 250 GT/E serie 3 before
    I know from 1 250 GT/E belonging to the police, but with blue light on the roof, this one not has
    may be someone can help? thank you

    Clear shot of registration at 24:49 being CO21 0623. But that is probably as real as the car belongs to the police. !!

    thank you very much for the link. but I still wonder about the front bumper and also no blue light on the roof

    also have read the VIN 4105

    but marcel, you write 4105 GT, but it is a GTE

    Marcel is correct; chassis #4105 GT is a 250 GTE.

    Yes, and what about that? I'm happy to help, but I don't understand what it is that you're asking. To summarize:

    • The car in the video that you posted above (series III, no light on top, with Alfa Romeo bumpers) is 1963 250 GTE 2+2 chassis #4105 GT
    • The series II car with the blue light on top and 1-piece bumper is 1962 250 GTE 2+2 chassis #3999 GT

    At some point, Alfa Romeo front bumpers were installed on 4105 GT. That was not the worst thing to happen to this car, unfortunately.
