What's this?

Getting bored of my usual routes to walk during lockdown so been looking on streetview for somewhere new.

Stumbled across this, I assume it's some sort of Ferrari replica - anyone know what the model is supposed to be?

Also what appears to be an X19 - streetview shows that it's been on axle stands for at least 3 years.



Might take a walk down there tomorrow and see if they're still there

Looks like a Mondial and Reliant Scimter SS1

I thought “Ferrari replica” was rude, then noticed thumbsnap describes it as “a red fire hydrant”

Awesome thanks, my Ferrari knowledge is obviously lacking, I couldn't find anything with the side strakes in that position.

Will defo take a look in person and report back. I guess a few years back when the streetview pic was taken, these were still obtainable for reasonable money so it might be the real thing.

Dang 10 points!

I wasn't sure about the X19 as they're mid engine and the bonnet didn't look right.

thanks
