Wayne, the Chris Rea film did happen. I have it on video. See the 'Your Favourite Ferrari Movie Scene' thread. | ||

Oicyu812, remind me never to park next to your car... I would hate for you to mistake one of my cars for a kit car. | ||

Wayne - jeez, you're right about the cavallinos - I hadn't seen that picture before. The photos I'd seen of Rea's car at the big 50th anniversary event in Rome (1997) and the article last year (or this year - I'll dig it out) in Sports & Classic Car I believe showed it w/out any cavallinos. Everything I know about the car came from that article which is where I'm getting the $1M figure - I'll check my memory this weekend . . . BTW, I see that Mr. Noon sold the S2 500 Mondial 0564MD(0424) - wonder who got it . . . | ||

I would not hesitate for a second to rip off the mirrors and spoiler if I walked past this thing. Maybe kick a huge dent in some of the body panels? | ||

Brian, unless they have been removed recently, there are Cavallino Rampantes all over Rea's replica. See this pic: http://www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/home-5/121-2160-img.html BTW, Rea had the car built in the mid 1990's while attempting to make a film about the life of von Trips. The film never happened but the car was completed and made its debut at the 1996 Goodwood Festival of Speed. I don't recall reading anywhere how much Rea spent on constructing the car, but $1 million sounds awfully high to me. The car is not really an exact replica even. It is powered by a 2.4 liter engine as opposed to the 1.5 in the orignal (now extinct) 156s and has several other non-cosmetic differences. | ||

holy christ - under islamic law, that guy should have his hands cut off AND his eyes poked out. This is what I was referring to in the P4 thread - Ferrari has given the green light to its lawyers to go after people like this who are stupid enough to put the prancing horse on the car, no - product, no - abortion. Pure trademark infringement. The recreation of the shark-nose F1 156 of 1961 (Phil Hill and Wolfgang Von Trips) that Chris Rea spent at least a million dollars on does not have the cavallino anywhere on it. I don't know if that was at Ferrari's request/threat or Rea's idea - maybe Mr. Ausbrooks knows . . . getting 8" of snow today - will go out and strap the snowplow attachment onto the 365 . . . | ||

Oops, didnt see the floormats. Regardless, that interior and the horrible rims have got to go! You would think that after spending $100,000 they could at least get the correct proportions on the rims. Not to mention the rear deck and lights. And why is it you never see an F50 or F40 in any action movies??? Sure would draw some attention | ||
