250 SWB rebody for sale

9 Sep 2015, 9:24pm
Nice wheels and tyres!!! Sitting a little low at the rear? Are those two screw/rivet heads by the front brake air intake authentic? Exhaust pipes too close together? For $600k I can be picky.

Ooh, what a lovely colour.

Exhausts/stance/interior all look pretty good to me. It is, after all, a rebody of an actual 60's Ferrari with a proper V12.

Isn't the price similar to the recreation (mega expensive kit car) that someone posted a link to a while back? Looks like pretty good value in that case.

The owner states its "in the spirit" of the SWB which seems fair because it's certainly not a replica.
Side profile and proportions aren't right, door shape, side windows (cut down z3 lol) door openings, rear/boot profile, front grill opening, front wing length, rear screen, rear wing profile are all tributes to the real thing rather than being accurate.
I agree that it is a nice colour though, and I love the wheels, interior and motor.
Oh, and if it's a shortened 330GT chassis it'll need an IVA soon as Dvla has a witch hunt against expensive recreations at the moment (oh perhaps I'll be given a Q reg).
I see the sale is 'make an offer'- and it would be rude not to.

Like Ian States above, by asking $600k for it the seller has to accept people being picky.
