    The "Ferrari Daytona $2mil" bit could only have come from the owner of that POS. How embarrassing, the organizers should hang their heads in shame.

    Well I don't think we can start berating show organizers when the FCA itself accepts replicas, although I agree there needs to be some sort of category for 'specials' that have Ferrari engines. No F- engine and it ain't a Ferrari...

    Agree totally, fakes turning up to Ferrari concourse is a joke no matter how "good" they are

    the FCA does NOT accept replicas, the "F40" in QLD is a rebodied 308 and is regarded as so.

    No replica is allowed entry into a national concorso field and they are (or should be) discouraged at state level.

    There will never be a category for "specials" in the FCA, we operate under an agreement with Ferrari and any replica is an illegal theft of design copyright, regardless of its engine.

    Auto Italia allows any car that appears to be Italian to drive up, the volunteer parking marshals have minimal marque knowledge and are easily deceived. Their system relies on the honesty of owners, it needs improving.

    here is a perfect example of what the media is - mass entertainment, where every report is manipulated to extract sensation or reflect the audience's preconception, with no regard at all for the truth.

    Yet millions of people happily base their opinion of US politics, AGW, radical islam, etc on what they learn from the mainstream media.

    I see the LPM section had room for Morettis .... were there any ? :)

    Again, like the 500s, they are not pretty.

    Did the fake 250LM make an appearance ?

    particularly with the mighty Ford V6 from a Zephyr behind you :rolleyes:

    The owner is a nice man who has a 400A and until recently a 365BB. He cooperates with our requests not to bring the replica onto the concorso field.

    There was a video some years back where I think the Ferrari or Lamboghini test driver was tootling around the back roads near Maranello and there was a real 250LM sitting on the side of the road ...... very surreal seeing it on a country road

    Fair enough with all of that except the "f40" is not displayed with any info or the engine cover open and outsiders most certainly DO think it's what it pretends to be.

    Well John,since the poster was talking about Ferrari,I'd have been fairly confident most here would have thought my post regarded the marque being discussed.
