Note:

In 1997 a second car turned up, obviously owned by Romano Bernardoni of Bologna, Italy, which claimed to be 1757GT. This car is regarded as a replica and it is said to be built on a Ferrari 250 GTE 2+2 chassis 2757GT renumbered to 1757GT and using engine s/n 1653GT (250 GT PF Coupe).

This car was seen by Wouter Brand in 2000 on Monaco plates "X 989".

In July 2000, this car was offered for Lit. 850mio (approx. $450,000) by the Jaguar dealer of Bologna, Italy

Further history about this second car is not confirmed, but Romano Bernardoni is currently arrested (2004).
