    Opening that link You find a car who have the SHAPE of 250 California Spider .................JUST THE SHAPE !
    Any of Ferrari fit an American V8 !!!

    250 V12 engine cost 230.000€ only the engine . Rebuilded as Original but not Original one , Orginal California engine is 500.000€ !

    I sold one moth ago a 290MM engine and after the transaxal .......Original one of Gonzales car.................more more expencive !

    Build a car like this with a V8 American engine costs 170-200.000€ ............California SWB is 7-8MIL € , LWB is 9-11 Mil €

    Out of interest, what statement have Ferrari Classiche made regarding the headlights on 1915 GT?

    Ferrari Classiche simply certified the car with covered headlights. They would not have it certified if it had been converted from open to covered headlights (only if done by Ferrari itself in period but such is not recorded).

    In the past a period picture showing a dark painted Cal Spyder with open headlights was misinterpreted as 1915GT by a certain Ferrari historian. In fact, this picture shows 1883GT instead.

    Best regards

    Interesting. Are you sure 1915GT here is not being confused with 1951GT?
