Ok not going to give you much to go on here....

It passed me on the M6 toll road the other week.

I'm sure it was an early S reg. but I can't remember I was just in awe of it.

There was a bulge in the bonnet, and I would guestimate that it was a 60's car.

I've tried ferrari.com but can't see to get the pics of all the old Ferraris - otherwise I'd know.

If anyone can point me to pics of Ferrari from that era I'd love to ID it - Whoever was driving it wasn;t afraid too - it even started raining. Before it did though, he gave it a little and it seemed to accelerate VERY well, and not a puff of smoke or anything.

Cheers for any help - it's really bugging me not knowing!!

Maybe I got the reg wrong then - It's more than possible.

A replica? - Well, anythings possible - if so it was done VERY well as I loved it!

I know my description wasn't too good, but one day I know I'll flick onto a web page and go "Thats it!!"

Anybody point me to pics of GTO replicas?

Thanks again for the input.

I confess I wish I knew my Ferrari's better....

Noope - it's not the 250 gto - shorter wheelbase than that....

Keep going

Thanks - I knew we'd get there in the end.

This is the bugger, God knows what year its from - it's possible my year may have been wrong - I wasn't really looking at the plate.

So what is it then guys? And did they make replicas of them or was the one I saw "pure"?

Thanks

Looks like a Ferrari 275 GTB:

Thanks - looks like I've seen a good'un!!

Cheers all for the help nailing it down, it's really annoying when you like something and not know exactly what it is!.
