Could this be the real deal?!

Ferrari P4 on the back of a low loader.

- now the low loader and exposed would make me doubt it anywhere else in the world.. but you see plenty of seriously valuable cars transported like this here.

Even if its not the real deal, its stunning in every way. One of my all time favourites for sure.

The only other photos I found that purport to be this car show it as a Norwood replica.... a bloody good one though, costs upwards of $500,000

Nice spot.

^ that's lovely. It's going that have to be pretty speciale to be better than a Scud. Still the best thing I've ever driven and that includes the standard 458.

This is a good watch...

I'm doing well with my classic Italians on SZR.

Like the P4 though, I guess perhaps a rep.

Stunning though

Ferrari out, McLaren in, 12c and 650s, both Spiders @ DIFC.

Going to have to say I prefer the 12c front to be honest, 650s looks like a P1 replica, not in a good way, don't like the wheels either.

That looks like the real deal to me. My top 3 car of all time.

Yes, Gemballa Mistrale. Butchered indeed, but I like the tail lights.
