250 swb

My brother spotted this is THANET!!! Broken down!



Any info on the car? Is it real?

[lucido grigio]

Have you got the reg ?

Although that is no guarantee as it could have been "created" from a lesser model.

Looks ok to me but I've been wrong before.

The shield looks odd. I thought they only started that on the 90s models, but not sure as i dont own one!

[lucido grigio]

The indicator repeater is different to 2 cars I have pics of from a recent Ferrari concours.

No idea if that's significant.

[joshcowin]

Only pic he has I'm afraid! I thought the shields looked too big tbh, looks completely overhauled by the look of the engine!

[HIS LM]

Proportions don't look right my guess is it's snide

[Yipper]

Looks like a replica. Mirrors in a funny place.

[TR4man]

I suspect some of you doubters may be pleasantly surprised.

[lucido grigio]

These pics illustrate the repeater differences but no mirrors on either of them.

[lucido grigio]

This Lusso does have mirror.



Confusing.

[lucido grigio]

This one has to be genuine.

It's in Enzo's Modena museum.


Same or similar repeater to the OP 's car pic.

As it is right hand drive and only 14 Ferrari 250 SWBs were made in right hand drive, that is the giveaway. It's not a real one, however GTO Engineering are making good as new ones for £750,000 I believe, so if it is made from a lesser Ferrari and cost £750k and is made as well as the original, calling it a replica may be a bit harsh!

If it wasn't born a 250 sub then it's a replica in my book

It is a replica. Probably another one of GTO Engineering's but 100% not a real SWB.

It is. But please don't assume that if it's in an official museum then it's a genuine - Ferrari once had a rebodied 250 GTE (s/n 4309) on display as a legit 250 California!

I've seen this a couple of times now in Faversham. Checking on DVLA shows it to be a '67 330 GT. Looks like a recent re body as only one Mot in July '17 showing. Interestingly, the cc shown is correct for a 250 rather than a 330.

Double red = Ferrari parking only ??
