90% sure I saw one of these being driven this morning. Country roads around North Bucks. Absolutely sensational.



But... real or replica? Anyone know much about these?

Update. I posted the same question on ferrarichat.com and this was a reply:

99% sure it was a replica. There are several replicas still in England, the only real ones are with Chip Connor, Hong Kong (who usually keeps his cars in California) and John Mozart, California. Additionally, the McCaw brothers have the two TR59s in Washington State.

Wow, that is immense. Makes the DB9 Volante we followed today look a little mundane!

Saw one of those in Preston Street Brighton on the evening of the Fat Boy Slim beach party (when was that now?). I assumed it was a replica. It looked very cool if a little small. The guy was getting loads of attention from passeres by due to the open cockpit.

Last replica I saw was in Berks at the Leckhampstead Fete- built by a guy in Great Shefford I believe. I thought it was RE-built it looked so good.

that is ace that!
it appears to be a 1958 250 Testarossa it must be worth an absolute mint if it is original.....
i have scale model of one at home i guess that is as close to the real thing i'll get, replica or not!
