These chassis numbers were formed on a shaped section of aluminium which was then welded into the correct place on the rear of the car.

I'm disclosed the above to assist / warn potential buyers.

Dear MJK,

Thank you for the warning. I will be updating the GTAm chassisnumberlist as a new source of information has been available. This source is in the form of the second, 1456 page extended edition of the book `Alleggerita`. This book also contains loads of information on the GTA chassisnumbers which makes it possible to check the history. Further research will be needed to check if a specific GTA is genuine or not. `Alleggerita` will give you clues.

Ciao! Olaf
