    today there was starting a little auto corso from the famous schlumpf museum near to me. I got knowledge from this event by email and have been there at about 13.30 becaus eit was told to me they will leave at about 14:00. there bave been 3 ferraris but I only had interest in one: a rebuilt testarossa on the chassis no. 1403

    I wonder a little about the manufacturer plate: it shows 1403 TR - so I think even this plate is not original?

    enjoy the photos I made

    1403GT is a regular red PF Coupe that was shown at the Galleria Ferrari in 2002/2012 and Bologna Motor Show by the Galleria Ferrari in 2014. This TR is a real replica with a fantasy sn plate.

    Then perhaps a "moderator" should move the thread to appropriate forum section ???

    it is a fantasy sn plate for sure, but the VIN 1403 itself is right

    Note that chassis number suffix on ID tag is TR instead of GT.....

    yes marcel, this I have seen also, that is why I asked in my first post about this. as I know it never existed a 1403 TR. only a 1403 GT
    so I think GTO engineering did this on the plate? but the 1403 frame for this replica seems for me to be original?

    I have yet to see one of these replicas with the correct wheel hubs. An easy way to spot one.

    Do we know if this was actually built on part of 1403GT? Or is it still alive and well as a 250 GT PF Coupe, and the 'TR' suffix is very deliberate?

    If bits of 1403GT are underneath, then this is next-level mispresentation. If 1403GT is not underneath at all, then it's much worse.
