What to check before buying
Check the original series and coachwork before assessing mechanical condition and completeness. Confirm whether the chassis was rebodied and retain the original configuration in the record.
A GTE-derived car carrying a later competition-style body should retain its GTE factory identity in the research record, alongside the date and details of the conversion.
