The dossier is thick. The vitrine shows only what can be displayed honestly — each record framed as an exhibit case, marked with an evidence label, and labelled with where the original truly lives.
Curator's note
The public site never publishes raw owner identity, full plates, addresses, phone numbers, signatures, or unredacted paperwork. Every case below states plainly whether the original is on public display, summarised, or kept back in the offline dossier.
Where the paper trail begins: an American delivery in 1999 and the first dealer records.
Service records
1999 – early 2000s
The start of the documentary trail: dealer delivery on 18 Nov 1999 and the earliest service history — the first proof that this car is a documented object, not a loose set of stories.

State · Held in private dossier · public-safe abstract shown
Public web records that corroborate identity and use — honest context, not VIN-proof.
Forum & archive traces
2008 – 2016
External traces that strengthen the identity and usage story without pretending to be perfect VIN-proof artifacts. Treated as inference, and labelled as such.
State · Context only · not presented as proof
Elsewhere in the archive
