The official replica/re-creation thread

3 categories, recreation, replica, fake.

I would say the swedes are dealing in the recrreation to replica category, awesome cool cars.

 

Overr my dead body Jim, and I am a decent shot!

best regards,

Marc

 

I do hope not!

 

More info on that Swedish 312PB replica here: http://www.thecartorialist.com/?p=3671#more-3671

Seems it is based on a shortened Mondial T chassis.

 

That would then make it at best a replica

 

Unless the car has the proper style chassis and a motor from the same Ferrari model the car is supposed to represent, it's a fake, IMO...

 

If you'd taken the trouble to look at the link I posted, and in particular the last photo, you'd see it's clearly badged as:

Ferrari Mondial t Molto Modificato

 

If it had no ferrari motor then it would be a fake, this is some type of bitsa replica, perhaps another ctaegory is needed bitsa and bitsa replica.

Got your Back!

 

It is the ferrari version of a lotus 211, think of it that way and what you have is a totaly awesome trakday car, this is what ferrari should be building for enthusiast fun.

 

Thanks LOL!

 

Soooooo....

If the Breadvan were to be re-bodied back to a swb, would Classiche certify it?

 

they would have to reposition the engine too...

 

Here in Prague they had Bugatti Atlantic for sale for around EUR1,5m. There are 2 real cars in the world worth probably over EUR15m.
This third car was created using original Bugatti spare parts plus I believe a chassis from 3rd real Atlantic which was destroyed in a crash.

Huh, the definition of a real thing just got blurred even more.

Same photographer uploaded another photo of this car to Flickr, yesterday; this time a rear ¾ view:

It is NOT going to happen: I can confirm that first hand. There are enough SWB's whereas the Breadvan is unique and is a very famous, even infamous part of Ferrari history.

Nah. This kind of thing has quietly been going on for years. I'm sure no-one needs reminding about 'Old Number One' ?

Marc,

Of course it won't happen. My remark was just to demonstrate the blurry line (as remarked by Jim) and the rediculous position of Classiche.
It all makes me think of the book '1984'

 

Hi, one of the main reasons this Noble P4 was uncovered was becauss the P4 repro owners have formed an organization to doccument there cars and try to prevent this kind of thing happening. They are very proud of their organization and I am sure would cooperate in forming an organization to do the same for other Ferrari repro types. just one man's opinion tongascrew

 

Paul, thanks for that link to the story of Old Number One. I hadn't been aware of this since I don't follow old Bentleys', but it was interesting how provenance is determined when there is a dispute.

 

My pleasure, David. I don't follow old Bentleys either - I just happen to remember the story because I was an avid Scimitar GTE owner at the time, and as a result of the Court's judgement (on the provenance of 'Old Number One'), Middlebridge Scimitar, who were supposedly destined to become the saviours of the marque, went into liquidation.

 

Did anyone spot the Ferrari TR61 'recreation' amongst those Motorima Coachbuilding projects ?

Well, the car is in the UK now, and available for hire, apparently.

3 categories, fake, fake, fake.

I would say the swedes are dealing in the fake to fake category, the real ones were awesome cool cars.
