Hey folks-
to kind of stick a fork in this and call it done. I had posted the ebay listing because i was interested in the car, only reason being that it was represented as a X22 car, which would be perfect for the L78 "bitsa" powertrain i have sitting in my garage. My interest is i am 50 years old, a young buck compared to some folks here, and i want to expand my knowledge, not get in a pissing contest over who may be right or wrong.
To put this in perspective, i work for an OEM that if one...just one dealer questions something that is 100 percent correct, i still get questioned on it, so i always want to know "why"
As far as criminals trolling the site, i would not worry about data plate information the way some folks here rip a car up one side and down the other from a few pictures.
so get off the high horses, the cars with provenance will always have it, 100% all the time, it is as simple as black and white, we are talking about a "grey" car here it will never have the provenance to be a 100k car.
I took it upon myself to do a side by side comparision of the data plate from the auction, and the data plate from my old LM1 car. I was able to spot some differences, weather i am right or wrong....now i can be dangerous and say "from my 35 years with these cars" what is a real plate or a repop.
shame we can't all get along in this together.....but some folks will always be
"these are my toys, and you can't play with them"
