The very rare Ferrari Datsun up for auction

Post by gooders »

"Ferrari were so concerned by these Ringwood cars, that they eventually forced their production to close down and had the moulds destroyed, so these, albeit replicas, are quite well-known cars in their own right. This could represent a great opportunity for someone to get their hands on a very unusual project car that is sure, when properly finished, to turn a few heads on the High Street."

I can see why Ferrari were shitting it, probably that ride height and giant ferrari sticker. Plus that nicely detailed dash.

If you lowered it three inches, removed the giant sticker, sorted the dash, picked it up with a crane, and threw it into a fire, it'd probably look OK.

Anyone tried this?

I remember those when they were first marketed - unfortunately this is the sort of thing that many people think of when the word 'replica' is mentioned ...
