An unusual spotted today - pics inside

[autofocus]

Hi there,

Decided to get up nice and early this morning and have a run to the coast. We usually go over to Whitby in the morning and then drive back home via Scarborough in the afternoon. Do this trip quite alot, its a bit tiring (280-300 miles in a day) but the weather was superb.

As we parked up in Scarborough I spotted this car in the car park, so being as I always carry my camera when we are on days out I took a few pics.

Not bad for a replica and it was certainly getting some attention. The owner and his wife were dressed in full Ferrari regalia from the red hat and jacket down to the red shoes.

Enjoy the pics.







Regards

Tim

Beautiful !!!

This is similar to a car offered on ebay a few months back. It had a starting price of £75,000 IIRC and was based on a 70's Ferrari.

Very nice.... I'd have risked it and stuck some old style black nymber plates on to add to the effect.

Not strictly legal but....

Perhaps I am being a little unfair, but don't you think that driving a replica based on an Alfa, and doing so in head to toe red Ferrari branded clothing (the new Burberry) smacks just a little of being a try hard tosspot.

I'd have more respect for someone driving a ratty 308GT4 in jeans and a t shirt who is not trying to give the impression that they are something they are not.

Great is this another Ferrari/Porsche baiting session?

What's it supposed to be? (appologies again for my Ferrari ignorance)

I see your fake Fezza and raise you a www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=63&t=302362

The decking out in the full Ferrari clobber smacks of 'I appear to be considerably richer than yaw'

Car looks good though

I agree, the Ferrari clothes look is getting a bit chavvy. when ever I take my Ferraris out I always go for the messy look, eg ripped jeans and trainers and unshaven, I think it makes a better statement.
