Listers,
The Concours Committee is already on this and needless to say it's a huge
disappointment.
I have seen the car on the website, sent the information to the rest of the
Concours Committee, talked to Bruce Canepa, the owner and seller, and in my
expert opinion the car is BS.
It very well have been an original 750 mile car, but whoever TOTALLY
restored it destroyed all of that originality.
The big item that doesn't pass the smell test is the reproduction VIN tag.
For $115K there are better cars out there as far as condition/originality
and value.
Cheers,
Curt
