What to check before buying
Check the original headlamp configuration, chassis and engine stamps, and evidence of accident repair or rebodying. Establish who prepared any competition car and when.
The alloy-bodied road car 12653 and the Ferrari-converted 12467 illustrate how construction and competition history can change the relevant comparison.
