    Hi there, was down at Goodwood Breakfast Club (Supercar Sunday) back on the 7th and saw this 250 Lusso and didnt think anything of it at the time but the registration on it is newer than the car (70's plate, 60's car) which as far as i know is not legal

    was wondering if anyone could clear up if its a genuine Lusso or if ive got the plate laws mixed up

    cheers for any help

    heres a couple of pics i took

    Looks like the real deal. No doubt someone will pop up to mention the exact s/n.

    It is very much real.
    Chassis # 5565 GT.
    The car came in to the UK in 1972 hence being registered with the 'K' suffix.

    Passenger side door fit is just terrible.

    Presumably a replica would fit better? ;)

    It's looks real because it's a 1/43 high caliber model.

    I think the discrepancy between the UK registration and the production date might be because the practice of assigning age related registrations to imports probably hadn't been introduced at that stage.
