I agree, it's stunning!

As for the lip being painted, apparently Steve Pike doesn't! I'm hardly an authority on the 100s, especially the Sebring, so I don't know if it should or shouldn't have been painted.
 
Good article, and accurate except for one thing: the 50 100S cars were not hot sellers. Yes, some were pre-ordered and some were kept by the Donald Healey Motor Company (works cars), but some languished and I remember the story of one that a dealer finally fitted with conventional "weather equipment" (top, side curtains, folding windscreen) to finally make the sale. It was subsequently initially used as a street car.

Not a large inaccuracy, but better to avoid creating a myth that they were hot sellers. (If they were really in big demand, they would not have taken the best part of a year to make just 50.)
 
Does anyone know what happened to the faked car or the guy who attempted the fraud?

VIN tampering and odometer fraud are sort my pet peeves, yet don't seem to bother a huge portion of the vintage car world, so I am curious.
