The problem I have with all this is that, based on its VIN sequence, #9250 is a 1982 or 1983 model. It is possible that it was repainted, converted to right hand drive, and had a wing added, all this I can believe, but I can’t get past the VIN sequence problem and the fact that there are some 36 GT5 Panteras with a lower VIN in the registry.
So, unless someone can get a hold of Paul Halstead and ask about the provenance of #9250, we will probably never know whether it is in fact the Turin car and the first true GT5.
