250 SWB Ferrari Original to view

[fatbloke]

Talacrest don't have an SWB but they do have a couple of 250GT's.

They're based in Ascot if you fancy a jolly out.

Not great news on the swb pics, I can't see one here but will continue searching.

There is a 250 zagato which I got a couple of pics of.

Thanks for trying, looks like they are as rare as hens teeth. Which is good for us kit owners I guess.

Just remembered these pics I took at the NEC in 2012 of a 250 SWB

Now that I've had a good look at the pictures, I've spotted something strange...the information poster for the car says 1963, I'm not sure that any 250 SWB cars were made after 1962 when it was superseded by the 250GTO. A search of the DVLA website for the reg 5WB finds a 1961 Ferrari in red!

Thanks for sharing the pictures, if mine gets anywhere near as nice looking as that one I will be well chuffed!
