Vintage Ferrari Identification

[MrGilmore]

So tell me chaps, what model is the below?

More importantly, is it a replica or the real deal, my heart says real deal, my head says replica...




ETA: Better quality pictures.

It is real!
Ferrari 250 Lusso

My car check for iphone says:
First registered 1/5/1964

Yep, 250 Lusso.

Most likely to be real - a few of them were made into 250 GTO reps, but I'm not aware of any Lusso reps around!

some Opel GT in that rear end, or vice versa...

Lovely cars, but not sure about the rear bumper being removed though. I'd have one in my garage in a hertbeat though (the car, not the bumper). Is that it's original colour though? Doesn't look quite right....

One of the most beautiful designs ever penned IMHO, the front end is to die for

Old Ferrari's just ooze class.
I would love one!

Did the old reg check thing too expecting a datsun or something to come up. Made my day this has!

Me too. I caught these at one of the Goodwood Breakfast Clubs last year. I think the first is a 275 GTS but not sure about the other two. Any ideas?

250 Lusso & 250 GTE 2+2

Was going to suggest 250GTE as my Uncle had a black one... I'll see if I can find my photos

Amazed nobody else has said anything. There is no such thing as a vintage Ferrari.

It was originally blue although has been red for a long time - although maybe it has been repainted recently.

There's no such thing as a vintage car then. It's not all about VSCC definitions, you know!

No it's a site for car enthusiasts. Not upmarket second hand clothes stall owners!

I don't understand your first sentence.

Sorry - Vintage Sports Car Club. They have definitions for what defines a "vintage" car....Based on their definitions, you are totally correct. No Ferrari would qualify for that title.

Generally speaking the pre FIAT-era ownership cars circa 1969/1970 are defined as "vintage".
