GT 40 P/???? in paddock

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a replica GT40 constructed by Franco Sbarro on one of his own tubs (non-original) in the 1980s. The owner claims that it is original GT40 #P1040 (my car, which I have owned for 26 years), has obtained FIA papers for this chassis number, and appears in many European vintage races. Ronnie Spain and others have documented Sbarro's shenanigans with GT40s extensively. The day of reckoning on this "1040" ruse may be arriving soon.
