There a hundreds, if not thousands, of them out there. The bandwidth in quality and level of scutiny they’d pass is of course, huge.

Both of the F cars that I had were the real thing 456GTA and 360 Modena F1 with many happy memories too.

Wow! That's a lot for a 'recreation' although apparently they were on original 250 or 330 GT chassis. I suppose if you have a £20million car in the garage, then an £800k runabout is nothing.

These guys make classic Ferrari parts for Ferrari !! including brand new engine blocks. I have visited a couple of times, my MK 1 mini (since sold) was restored by them as an apprentice piece - it was “rather nice”

Mate had a 250 California replica based on a Z4, the bloke who was building them had a visit from Ferraris legal representatives suggesting he stopped building them before they took action. It appears they are being a bit more concerned than they were a few years ago when there were lots of MR2 based 355s around.

I did pass a 355 mr2 replica in the Limehouse tunnel, in my decatted 360. Was fun.

They make every single part for a Ferrari GTO from scratch, and I mean every nut, bolt, casting, gears your name it they make it / have it made and build GTO’s from scratch. They even make the engine blocks.

They are also making their very own car, from scratch styled in the GTO, they are making their one engine which will rev to 10,000 rpm and...
