I did a bit of a reshuffle of my Ducatis this year. Sold my 996 SPS that I bought new in 1997 along with my 1995 955 Corsa. I kept my Desmosedici...
And now openly back in business in the same city, trading under the same name with a workshop full of customer cars. The mind boggles sometimes.
Spot on. To illustrate how strict Customs is on this I remember a Nissan GTR R32 that came from Japan to run in Targa Tasmania in the mid 1990's....
I don't think there is any doubt that the red Australian F40 has the rightful claim to the S/N 90969. The issue of body numbers was raised as...
If you were going to bodge up a chassis stamping and you had the back section of 85397, why wouldn't you stamp the front with the VIN of 85397 ?...
I wonder if the front section of 85397 is written off or is it part of the other F40 that was concurrently owned with the real 90969? Just...
The "Cannonball F40" was owned and driven by a Japanese Dentist by the name of Akihiro Kabe. The harrowing photo of the marshalls seconds before...

Hard to imagine it is anything but a figment of the imagination given the extraordinarily obvious anomalies in the Blue car. Stranger things have...
Any update on the body number ID marks on the Red Australian car?
Body number is a different identification.
My Australian sense of humour didn't make it through :) The Australian car has the legitimate identity. "Interesting" but legit.
My guess is it will be the correct body number.
You're not going to get much sense out of that audience IMHO, and it looks like the people that know the full story are not willing to go on record.
If my memory serves me correctly there were less than 50 plexi window cars originally. Re importation, the rules have been a moving target since...
You could write a book on the many and varied ways that these cars came into Australia and the taxes that may or may not have been paid depending...
