    Looks like 225 S Vignale Spider 192 ET, but than LHD? The period phote is RHD.

    This car is NOT 0192ET, but some LHD car rebodied to resemble it. Note that the eBay listing was placed by banned F-Chat user Max Vito.

    Also, the "1952 Ferrari 212MM Vignale Barchetta" is a nonexistent concoction.

    I spent altogether to much time yesterday trying to find this.It does look somewhat like 0218,0216,0204,0194 and 0192 but the LHD is wrong.Also the fender holes appear to be round where as the originals are oval.Other than that it seems to be pretty nice for a reproduction.At least the ad does not list a sn.It would be nice if this was explained.Someone give Les Wexner a call.tongascrew

    In an older issue of Classic and Sportscar a dealer called Zweimuller in Austria isnadvertising a yellow 212 Vignale Barchetta from 1951. Can't tell from the pic if it is mirrored for some reason. Sorry, no scanner available an no s/n given.

    That yellow C&SC car was 212 Inter s/n 0249EU with Vignale-style 250 MM replica body, not a match for this car. Here's a later photo of 0249EU, repainted in red:
