I noticed that too. There wasn't a sign by it or anything saying what it was. Those who weren't already aware of it from these posts probably didn't know what it was. I just posted a picture I took of it in the Supercar Photographs thread I started.

Noticed this also & thought it was unusual especially citing the fact that the car literally blew up the Internet a couple months ago!

I noted that also, and it was a late entry so there probably wasn't enough time to get a board made.

Not sure he is a member but very well known collector. I have done one of his cars.

Sounds like a win win.

Any chance that's the original paint on the car?

I would imagine those show boards were made months in advance. It was a great honor meeting the current owner and have offered my help in locking down the early history on the car.
