Yes!
I've been a Ferrari nut for nearly 40 years and had no idea there was a 250 Lusso bodied by Williams & Pritchard until I found this!

This puzzle taught me a lot, about people having 330LM noses put on their 250GT's.  Some even had it done by Ferrari.

Yes, I believe the factory only actually made a small handful of 330 LMBs, four at most although two of those are thought to have perhaps been 250 Lussos with a 330 LMB nose grafted on.  No doubt there are at least a dozen now doing the rounds of the auction houses...!
How anyone could desecrate a 250 Lusso, which I consider one of the most beautiful cars of all time, is beyond my comprehension..!
