Does anyone know the whereabouts of a original 250 SWB Ferrari in the UK that can be looked at in person?
I.E in a museum or on show somewhere? I want to have good look at one close up.
I am off on hols to Italy in the summer and am 2.5 hours drive away from Ferrari Museum where there is one that you can get close up too, however don't want to rely on that single event.
I took a couple of videos of a SWB car at the Ferrari weekend at Silverstone last year.
Found out later that it was a "recreation" but it certainly had me fooled. All the lights, dials, mirrors and locks looked like the OEM ones. I would not be surprised if it was one of GTO engineering's at a cool £440k.
The files are quite large so they may take a while to download

Thanks for that, the videos are in large format and are equivalent of millions of photos!!!
I think I saw some of the same car on Youtube and recall thinking there is not something quite right about this car compared to other videos/images I've seen like the fuel filler cap placement, didn't quite align with others, so I had the same first impressions that it wasn't original, but agree its a darn good one!
The parts I am interesting at looking at closer are the small chrome 'lugs' just above the sill area. The front brake vents as I have seen some meshing and adjustment screw in one of the videos, close ups on the lights and positioning and exhaust positioning, in terms of clearance and how far out they come. so just a few aspects.
If there is anything specific you'd like pictures of just let me know, otherwise I'll get everything I can.
Hi, all exterior features including and not limited to the small chrome 'lugs' just above the sill area wonder what they are for and if they come off. The front brake vents as I have seen some meshing and adjustment screw in one of the videos, close ups on the lights and positioning and exhaust positioning, in terms of clearance and how far out they come. so just a few aspects. And anything externally of interest.
The only place I have seen these for sale is here http://www.autoepoca.it/ferrariparts/cat-10/body-fittings/
they are about half way down when you scroll down the page, titled "Chrome jack hole cap" code no 1197
Price is 78 euros each
Just chucked in 'chrome oil filler cap' in Google and there are a number of almost perfect replicas in the way of chrome dress-up goodies for Honda and Yamaha motorbikes. Very cheap too!
Might be a tad big though, lol
