    Sorry if it's been posted before but only just come across this great photograph of Cristian & Valerio Luzzago's workshop.

    Are there any magazines, books or articles about them and the work they were doing anywhere, did a quick Google search
    and not much there? How are they regarded, are they all known and identified, any pictures of the completed cars perhaps?

    Looks top notch - just look at the alu bucket seats detail and the wooden buck they are using.

    Amazing.

    they are regarded as an abomination by many in the vintage Ferrari world. Where do you think they get the motors for these cars? From cannibalized 250 GTEs and 330GTs. Don't support the butchery of real Ferraris.

    How in hell can they get away with this, in Italy???? Is Ferrari asleep? They usually go after you for wearing logo ball cap if they didn't sell it!

    Design patents surely have expired for these older Ferraris...

    These pics are old.

    I know I will take arrows for this, but I would consider buying one of these. However, they haven't hit an open market that I have seen. Most are "commissioned" by owners.

    I sold my Ellena so I would quit being tempted to do something like this.

    What engines do they use? Also custom made? All possible now with CNC
