Not knowing who "car John" is, does not help in my reply.
However some points to consider: The people who confirmed the body were Sanesi and Fusi who both very quickly picked out particuliarities that only they would know of. Sanesi was well involved with it;s building and of course crashed it. Fusi was also much involved with it. Correspondence and of course verbal discussions as I usually visited them when in Italy.
Tito Anselmi was also very helpful in research. Tito has always been a fervent crusader against anything that is not legitimate to the point he has become very unpopular with many Italian car clubs as he has shown up many cars to be less than correct. He would certainly not opened doord for me as he did.
And lastly who would build such a car body, attach it to a 1900 sub-frame and do all this back in the 60's when these cars were not worth bothering with?
Once somebody can find acceptable answers to these points and come up with a valid alternative to all of them, it is best to leave the "eye rolling "in a dark room!
I have not seen what has been done to the body/car in recent years so I can't comment on what I have not seen.
All that was ever claimed was it was the first body on 001, and with Sanesi, Fusi and extensive research what else would one do?
More to the point but on another issue it seems that the "other 6C" shown at Pebble Beach, carried a new body. Given that it's original engine went missing in the early 60's how much was real at Pebble Beach?
