I can't confirm exactly but I know of two dark blue 275 GTS' in the UK and one of those lives in the Chichester area so I would say a fairly good chance that was the car you saw.

Hi, I think it was my car that you saw on that Friday. It is in fact a 250 California in tdf blue. It is a work in progress hence the patina. Glad you liked it.

Intriguing. What's the chassis number?

[mechmans]

Hi, Thanks for the interest in my car, it's a 250 GT Californian closed headlamp SWB and its RHD. As its RHD and as there was only 1 (2?) RHDs built mine is a replica/bitsa. Still didn't have to hunt down the back of the sofa to buy it!

What do you mean by 'replica/bitsa'? Is this a Ferrari chassis with a new body? Or is it a total replica, e.g. a BMW Z3 with the plastic body panels?
