Starting with chassis no. 550-0051, the car was equipped with a newly designed oil filter.

This particular car was delivered to its first owner, Mr. Gonzague Olivier of France, on June 22, 1955.

Notice of Authenticity Concern!

Since 2023/2024, a Porsche 550 Spyder bearing the VIN 550-0051 has been offered for sale through an Italian automobile dealer.

This vehicle is not authentic, and I am in possession of documentary and physical evidence to substantiate this claim.

The car in question features a completely reconstructed, non-original chassis, does not contain an original Spyder engine, and is not fitted with the original gearbox. The original gearbox corresponding to the correct number is currently installed in my authentic Porsche 550 Spyder.

Furthermore, the bodywork originates from another Spyder, with substantial components missing at the time of reconstruction. These missing elements have been fabricated anew. The auxiliary components, including the fuel and oil tanks, are modern reproductions manufactured by Mantovani (Italy).

The claimed originality of this counterfeit vehicle relies solely on documentation certified by an Italian notary, which does not reflect the true provenance or authenticity of the car.

Further information and evidence can be provided upon formal request.
