Hi everyone, I'm just wondering how I can find out if a car I'm looking to buy is the right version I think it is. The car is a Stepnose and has all the cosmetic items that would suggest it is a GT Veloce, but I'm wondering if I can somehow certify that it was originally a GT Veloce and not a GT.

Thanks in advance

Chassis number (VIN) would help
Name/type plate also

Indeed any decent pictures of the engine bay, interior, rear arches etc..
Any info at all

The Vin is: AR299835

I can't upload any pics because the file is too large...

Thanks guys I committed and purchased the car; such a beautie! Does anyone know how I can post pictures on here? I tried before to add some pictures I took on my phone but the file was too large.

There's "Postimages" for hosting (free with adverts, no signup or email address required) and depending on the phone's basic type, many choices of free or paid apps to manipulate pictures.  I've written about my chosen one (Image Size, iOS app, single $5 payment for no adverts) in the past, still happy with it but sniffing around for an affordable app that lets me watermark stuff.

Try emailing them to yourself - if your phone is like mine, it should ask you whether you want to send them in original size, or choose a smaller percentage.
