GTO engineering 250 swb

[Church of Noise]

Just watched the Carfection video on GTO Engineering's 250 swb revival https://youtu.be/yuXV5FaSTY4 (what's in a name...). Looks absolutely brilliant and I can see who will buy these (owners of originals that are to precious to actually put any mileage on, people with a very very healthy bank account that still can't afford a real deal as their market value is sky high...).
I am however stunned that this can happen out in the open, as Ferrari seem quite protective of their heritage.

Does anyone know what I am missing?

Beautiful (apart from those tailpipes which look too tacked on).
Also wondering how they have permission in a similar way to the guy who's car got trashed by Jaguar...

How can this car Not Need an IVA, to be road legal in the U.K.?
It's a brand new car?

Appears to use an original identity that has not been in the Uk before

Hmmm?

Doing the same with a lesser car would have us all crying ringer

Did they speed up the audio, guy is firing off the script like he's in a hurry ...
And I agree on those tailpipes. Who thought it was a good idea to get them clamped on? Looks straight out of Demon Tweeks.

Tell Ferrari, the tail pipes look pretty much like the original.

It's been common in the Ferrari world for decades to rebuild a 250GTE 2+2 as a rare 250, generally a LWB California as you don't change the wheelbase.
