I understand that many can enjoy pictures of exceptional cars, and the 8C2900s are my favourites. Now we are mixing pics of current, rebuilt bodies, and those of original ones, sometimes discarded in the past.
Yet, without the depth of Simon Moore's research, we had to fall into this kind of questions. The historical reality reconstructed by Simon needs attention and caution in taking into account all the facts he gathered before coming to a conclusion, which is still a documented scholar hypothesis. This includes the renumbering of some chassis, a touchy issue, but Simon's evidence show that it did happen. Simon is also careful, and has owners looking at the manuscript before printing in order to avoid any mess... I guess you understand what I mean. So when disclosing some parts of what he finds he carefully chooses his words.
Now no one can seriously re-type here all Simon's findings, it would be long and unfair to him. Moreover, while understanding that those who haven't had the chance of buying the book when new have now little chance to get a copy ($$$!!!), many enthusiasts haven't access to the knowledge.
This will be addressed soon with the edition of the update, due in a few months. It will bring many new informations, so going intoi any depth here is a bit pointless until the new book comes out.
