General details........is it numbers matching (and that is easy to fabricate these days) and original or restored
{there are three examples of chassis number 406 in the world right now...who's got the real one?}
Detail list......Provenance,history etc (covers a lot of info)
Secret details.........the little things that prove you have the genuine article.
You can learn everything by research but it takes a long time. Alternatively you can speak to the guys who do

These last posts perfectly show the difference between collectors and drivers.[]
I consider myself a driver. My RS is used daily in good weather. There is no point in buying a car like this without enjoying it as it was meant to be. The posts above were meant to help another find that enjoyment by finding the right car. I waited a long time (20 years searching and saving) for the right car. Nothing wrong with doing your homework if it's something you've always wanted. If I were a collector/investor I would have sold it by now.

I know that even though the constituent parts of my 911 did not all leave the factory at the same time, the fortuitous assembly that I have owned for the last 18 years has been inspected by the FIA representative and it has been granted certification that it complies with the homologated technical specification of a 2.7 RS. That allows me to take part in the competitions that require it and also clearly defines and records its identity so that when I am dead and gone, nobody could pass it off as one of the 1550 original cars.
I have raced it, commuted 140 miles a day in it, sprinted it and have even won an International rally in it. The most enjoyable car that I have ever owned.
I hope we are all lucky enough to enjoy our cars in the ways we want, collector or driver!

This is not an argument over genuine / recreation cars from a drivers / fun point of view. Its about making sure you're not getting ripped off by a con-man.

I often ask myslef would I want to sell ERL 369K and another car to buy a "real" one. Mine is worth something aroung £45,000 and a "real" one could be over £150,000. So I would be paying over £100,000 to be able to answer yes to the question "is it a real one?" Would you?
I have no doubt that if I had bought an equivalent of my car that was adopting a false identity and I had paid the silly price, then I would be knocking at the door of Mr Plod.
I'll keep the ERL[
