Not really sure which Ferrari this is paying "tribute" to.

Love the massive logo in front of the passenger seat, going that extra mile to convince someone daft enough.

£4800

It wouldn't be bad if wasn't trying to be something else, a fairly decently modified MR2. But the badges and lettering ruin everything.

I especially like the Halfrauds lettering 'Ferrari' on the rear.

Originally designed to accommodate a 1,500hp 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin V12 out of a WWII era Spitfire, the Bell Aurens Longnose was set to be revolutionary. Sadly the German road licensing authority had serious reservations about safety and left the designers with the option of using a more traditional 235 HP Rover V8.

I going with "Wrong Thread." But it does need that Merlin V12 to justify the long nose.

It's a Veranti kit car, MR2 based and a straight panel swap or a convertible conversion. The badges on that one are the owners/builders choice. It should look like these

I like that, looks great. It confuses me why someone would want to ruin it by sticking prancing horsies all over it.

That’s why I posted it here. Promises a monster motor, but......

Took me a while to spot it, but that sport exhaust is exceptional

not sure if this is genius or not...

nah they ran out of regular white so used the sprinter van paint

They build quality has never been the same since the W124s

I know I shouldn't... I really like that too!

Looks like there is quite a lot of detail in that - its a shame the 'remains of the red paint' are mirrored on the rear pillars, gives the game away a bit.

The images on the front and sides ruin it a bit IMO.

That front bumper is the abarth spec one, came from the factory like that, no weird body kit parts in sight

The tiling job though... god only knows

[Pericoloso]

How does one get tiles to bend around bodywork ?

[Accelebrate]

I’d imagine it’s cheap faded vinyl, because paint is expensive, and small squares when they relealised that applying large sheets of vinyl is a skill.
