Caveat emptor is exactly right. The car is a fake. And no disrespect intended to Rex, who pointed it out at the top of the thread.
Sbarro strikes again. Lol...

there are a few things which give it away in any event.
As a replica, it looks pretty authentic.
You are correct on the 2008 date. I know a prior owner of the real 1040 said it's for sale again (and I've had other people tell me the same). The 1059 ad on the Anamera site is old too, but it's still actively for sale.
Bottom line: it doesn't hurt to be on the alert for fake GT40's. It might save a potential buyer from a big headache.
Not sure if this is old news, or of interest, currently has a 1/4 page ad in the for sale section of a UK classic car magazine.
