Sorry for pic, swear it's not in Oz!

Looks to me like a Testa Rossa.

That is SOME road holding !!!

If it's not a replica (and there's loads about) it's a 1959 model year Testa Rossa bodied by Fantuzzi. This was the year that Ferrari did battle with Aston Martin for the World Sports Car Championship, and lost, mainly thank to a certain Stirling Moss.

First motorsport event my dad took me to at Goodwood that year, when I was 9.

Awakened my love for Astons, which still exists, and my great respect for Stirling, which also still exists.

Thanks for the info, so either mega-mega bucks or modest mortgage then...

Probably one of the most expensive Ferrari's now. Several million.

FANTASTIC SPOT!

That's got to be one of the most beautiful car + location experiences imaginable!

Stunner!

Very gladly you spotted it AT lake Como, not IN it.
In Bellagio I'd expect it to be the real thing...

[clarkmagpie]

Absolutely love the fact someone is using that!

Do you know how annoying that picture is on an IPad, everytime I try to turn it upside down it automatically turns the image back round to being upside down, damn Apple ha ha.

He's changed it now. So now the car is the right way up. But the coffee cup is now upside down
