Default 1012 GT 40 Scandal

Hello, big scandal in Europe http://forums.motorlegend.com/cgi-l.../ultimatebb.cgi
The story is that 12c years ago, a replicar ( built by Brian Winfield in 1980 ) gt40 using chassis 1012 was sold to Grave in Swiss country for low money, after the car was race by Grave + the new owner Lecou in differents tour auto + Le Mans Classic.
2 year ago, a monegasque bought from Symbolic the real 1012 and want to use it in Europe but
was refuse because the replicar was already enter to the events.

Insiders say that Patrick Peter and Lecou ( also owner of the ex Willy Mairesse gt 40 1079 who was destroyed at le mans 1968 and replicar built by the famous Sbarro ) are partners on the replicar and it s the reason why he try to promote the fake.

Who have more infos about this ?
