That's a rebodied 330 owned by former McLaren team manager Alistair Caldwell. It's a regular at Goodwood events.

That’s the BMW UK Heritage Fleet car. It was featured in the media for the 50th anniversary celebration recently.

This beauty at lunch time. It was so tiny!! (this picture was from 2019 at Ace Cafe) there are other pictures of it online and a magazine article I came across too.

Thanks, I did some digging and found this:

On a summer trip to New Zealand, I noticed a magazine article about a company in Auckland NZ who had built a Ferrari GTO replica. I went to see this car and was most impressed by it; after making some enquiries decided to have my 330 GT made into a GTO replica by this company. Sadly after over a year’s work and lots of money, they went bankrupt on me so I was left with an unfinished badly done car which had cost me a lot of money.

I then decided to do the job myself. I found the premises and hired 3 young men, one of whom was the original bodywork man from the bankrupt company – Gavin Tindell — and after a further eighteen months or so and another considerable amount of money, a tool room perfect 250 GTO replica emerged. They did a great job and the car is now back in England ready for action.
