    Swedish coachbuilder Motorima has built a couple of Testa Rossa recreations, including this one: http://www.motorima.com/forsale.php?id=56

    Mr Ahlquist has also built this 312P "inspired" car on a Mondial t. Somebody thought it was a whole different thing to change the body on a period Ferrari, ie: rebodying a 60's Ferrari in the 60's. So perhaps this is OK? Atleast it is a lot more interesting looking than a Mondial... And, yes, it IS road legal.

    Motorima also built this 500 Mondial "Ockelbo Ferrari"

    An entrepreneur in Ockelbo, Sweden, borrowed Ulf Norinders Mondial and made a mold and started spitting out Mondial 500 fibre glass bodies. They are still sold under the name Pagano. http://www.pagano.se/ I belive this car has a hand made metal body

    No, but nothing to do with replica's and thus shouldn't be in this thread. This is actually a very cool coach building project.

    I was digging thru some of my old clippings and came across this one.

    What was the outcome and any interesting stories regarding the cars since?

    TIA.

    There’s a good chance one or more of the ‘original’ 36 cars known today are not authentic. Im not saying I have any information, I don’t.

    Many collectors have favourite/valuable paintings copied for various reasons. Copying a car for similar reasons is not unheard of.

    I find it simply amazing that it is 2011 and hand built limited production project cars of this magnitude are being scrapped and sold off as parts for a quick profit. This is exactly why I don't really enjoy being recognized as a "Ferrari-dude".

    Where...99% certain it was in the National Enquirer.

    When...mid 80s for sure, possibly 1985 based on the article's reference to them as 1963 Ferraris and that they were "made 22 years ago".

    Great points and thanks for the information! National Enquirer is not the best for historian resources but I have heard the story .Thank you for your response Steve! Great analogy regarding the year . I will send you the Smarties box when im done with them. Not sure how I missed that in the article!

    Sad to see another "real" Ferrari cannibalized.

    My most humble opinion is that someone should have restored it, otherwise why was it sold in parts. Possibly more $$$?
    Sorry, but if no-one wants it, then what does it mean?
    Just curious, but obvious.

    Regards, Alberto

    PS There is a post with wonderful photos of Jim's 250 PF COUPE, while towing it to be enjoyed in the future. I love it.

    Magnus at Motorima made two of those, one LHD and one RHD. The one for sale at Joe Macari is the RHD.
