Please note that since going to print, RM has uncovered additional evidence to support Derek Bell’s ownership of this car. In a printed interview with The Telegraph in 2002, he asserts that the 275 GTB/4 was the best car he ever owned. His comments regarding his car’s later re-sale and price realized in the United States further corroborate the longstanding belief that chassis 10813 was indeed the car owned by the famed Le Mans winner.

Although of the correct type, this car does not have its original motor and differential which have been re-stamped to match the original numbers.
