It's in general gassing.
Truly awful & possibly the worst 'replica' I have ever seen.

Excuse me, I just looked at the pics and appear to have coughed up my spleen...the coup de grace is the description of the car. What happens if you are getting into that thing, and you meet your neighbour in the front garden. How can you possibly justify it!

You have to wonder what goes through some people's minds.

It's incredible that it's on somebody's drive. Somebody actually owns and drives that... unbelievable.
"A quad-look exhaust system has been fitted to the car to give ity that authentic look and sounds amazing like the real deal when at the right revs." What, at zero when the car is off?

Why do people do it? An expensive way to look a knob...

Probably the worst replica I have ever seen, absolutely dreadful in every way.
The best bits for me:
- Wheel arch gap
- Ferrari emblems on the seats at different heights
&
He put's in the ad 'Has to be seen etc.... 'it oozes class'
Hilarious!

I don't imagine this is really designed to appeal to the folk in this forum - I doubt we'd really be able to understand where this chap is coming from with his work. Similarly, I doubt he'd understand why it is some of us spend such time trying to source a rare original part in order to restore a car. Different worlds. I'm all for people having hobbies and he really isn't harming anyone. It's not going to fool us but nor is it meant to - he's out to impress his peers and I daresay he's probably succeeded.
Personally I don't find this offensive in much the same way I don't mind when I'm overtaken by a hot hatch owner who wants to brag to his mates. You'll always get badly made impersonations of any premium product whether it's cars, clothes or whatever. It's all part of the aspirational hierarchy isn't it?
I am quite an easy-going guy though...

There was a replica at a car meet local to us last year. It was truly dreadful in every possible way. Strange thing was it drew quite a crowd including me out of curiosity. Sad thing was that the owner obviously thought we were admiring his creation, frankly I don't know if I wanted to slap or pitty him.
Ah well each to their own.
