but is this car really an original as they say in the website?
If they will come to Monza for Intereuropa Cup in June 2005 i will surely take some pictures of it.2yrs ago there was a yellow mk2 french one.Cannot say if that was an original or not, anyway seem so.

The car does not look original to me. I don't claim to know all, but I've never seen an original chassis with riveted panels. The front section does not have the proper exit for the cooling hoses, etc. Also, GT 111 was a roadster.

The only thing I know after meeting the latest owner is that this car has his FIA papers.
The jury is out

The presence of FIA papers should not be taken as any indication that a car is original or authentic. Some GT40s masquerading as original cars but that are complete fakes, or "bitsa" cars with a few original parts but phony everything else, have acquired FIA papers. The only way that the jury could be out on this car is if it hasn't looked at it, or has but knows nothing about original GT40s.
