Amazing buy

Absolutely correct Tom. There is even an old pre-war Auto Union Silver Arrow GP car made from spare parts. Everyone knows it and it's still worth millions.

The difference with our cars and cars like the Devin/Ferrari in question is that they were hand made, purpose built race cars. All of them are different and most have had accidents, blown engines, development work, etc. It's normal for them to have body panels rebuilt from scratch. What's important is the chassis survives and that the car's provenance can be established so there are no black holes in its life. For example, there is a Roush Racing Mustang from mid-80s/early-90s era Trans Am and IMSA GTO racing that has been rebuilt so many times it's been nicknamed "Christine". Still worth a lot of money.

This Ferrari will prove one of the finds of the century.
