Nero Daytona over Nero

Still to check That original extract has not been reviewed for this edition.
November 2008
A specialist dealer

Still to check The dealer is not named in the supplied account, and legal title at this point is not independently established.
2012
Leaving Italy
StatedExport from Italy is recorded in the report’s summary of the catalogue.1
Still to check The exact date, destination at export and export papers are not supplied.

Still to check The service invoices are described as accompanying the car; their dates and scope have not been checked here.
15 October 2026 · report date
A catalogue snapshot
StatedThe report records a catalogue odometer reading of 14,925 km and an offering for the London auction scheduled on 31 October 2026.1
Still to check This is the report’s dated account of a proposed auction, not a sale result or a current mileage statement. The live catalogue could not be independently retrieved for this edition.

Specialist registry
The specialist VIN register
The accessible chassis row identifies 135973 as left-hand drive, Nero Daytona with black leather and UK registration PG53 YGW. It marks stripe status as uncertain. This differs from the supplied report’s description of the registry and does not establish factory stripe status.

The supplied photograph album
