    Looks like paint stripper was applied, not removed and allowed to dry.

    if thats the case, there would be much suffering and disembowelment for the guilty.

    Some new kind of cleaner or detailer product? Sponge it on and let it sit for a while?

    I saw the car in Monaco over the weekend and yes it is an art installation.
    It's in a single garage which has a glass front - the photos were taken through the glass.
    Google 'Bertrand Lavier 308 GTS' for some links but I couldn't find a great deal of information.

    Here's a few more pictures...

    Just another reason to hate the French.

    Looks like he just threw a bunch of old 308 parts together and then painted over it thickly with a brush (used colors including clear).

    IMO, not very artistic. :p

    I suspect it's a tatty old body that was used - note the absence of wing mirrors and door handles.
    Art-wise it's not my cup of tea but it certainly caught my eye. It was the only Ferrari I photographed, despite seeing an Enzo and loads of 458's, 599's 612's, 430's, 360's & California's in just 36 hours.

    Andy, sounds like you had a great time!

    I would enjoy seeing all those Ferraris.

    Just because you take something that was art BEFORE you touched it, and slapped some paint on it Jackson Pollock-style, doesn' mean that what you did is "artistic" in any sense....

    Yuck. No, really... YUCK. Stupid waste of time - like that nitwit that put a crucifix
    in a jar of pee and called it "art".

    Just STUPID ... plain and simple STUPID WASTE OF TIME and a WASTE of a CAR.

    Do I make myself clear? Let me know if not and I'll expound

    Actually art is that...

    Anyone can make something like that and after that he becomes an artist...
    I bet that maybe a silly millionaire will buy it for much more money than the real value of the car...
    Modern art? No thanks!

    I prefer a toilet as a work of art. At least I understand what to do with it. :)

    Should have slapped a bumper sticker on it
