Actually, TdF 0733GT is not the car at Goodwood driven by Max Girardo? TdF 0733GT is blue.

The point is it's not a rebodied TdF. "Rebodied TdF" means a TdF that's been rebodied. The correct "shorthand" and practical terms would be "rebodied 250GT PF", "TdF Recreation" or "TdF Replica." Longhand - "250 GT Pinin Farina Coupe rebodied in the style of a 250 GT LWB Tour de France."

i would love to have a very high quality replica of a super rare car. especially if the orig ferrari was wrecked beyond repair such as a fire or roll over.

Nigel Corner's accident at the Goodwood Revival 1998? driving a Ferrari Dino 246. It was reported that he suffered a punctured lung, a broken collar bone and fractured ribs. Alain de Cadenet, also involved in the accident, narrates the video in the link which takes a little while to download.

See here for video: Video + Photo: Nigel Corner crash Goodwood Revival 1998

Below is Nigel Corner's response to seeing the pic posted on FerrariChat in the Monaco Historics 2012 thread last year. His only post.

Well here's something I never thought I would do. However imagine my shock when, while having a quiet browse, I find a picture of me 20 feet up in the air. To say that it bought back a few memories would be an understatement - memories of days seemingly from another lifetime - but what a fun lifetime it was.
Looking back on it I suppose it was crazy to race open wheeled single seaters covered in aluminium with no seatbelts and roll bars. We certainly weren't trying less hard to win. I was fortunate enough to win the Saloon Car Class at the Spa and Nuburgring 24 Hour races in the nineties and I know that the guys at the front end of historic racing were every bit as good - and certainly showed the same commitment to the cause.
I always thought (still do) that if you wanted to trick the cars up and put huge rollover bars etc on genuine historic cars, then you really are in the wrong form of racing. Go and race something else and enjoy it. However I must stress that this is purely personal and I completely understand that my opinions are diferent to other folks. I stopped racing old cars because the aftermath of that shunt took a entire year to overcome. That's a long time in which to come to terms with your own mortality.
Also I was starting to think - here I am trying everything I know to keep a 250 F, exactly in the spec it was when Fangio and Behra drove it in 1957, in front of cars built yesterday. What am I (and far more importantly the Maser) trying to prove ? I hasten to add that I have no beef with replicas/recreations etc - it's just that everything has its place.
The 250F lives in the Motor House now, but Dad and I take her out once a year to a track and try and convince ourselves that we are still half as quick as Fangio !
One final thought - the Maser looks great sitting in there, but nothing in the car world looks better than a 250F driven by someone who knows what they are doing coming out of a 120 mph corner...................................................

Regards Nigel Corner

Charles gave me the original steering wheel from his 4 litre gto. It was made especially for Michel Paul Cavallier. Charles took it off in '66 in lieu of a generic gto wheel which he bought on a visit to the factory. It is made of ebony with ivory rivets - quite a thing. I'm going to put it on my first 250

Found this (first) pic on the net which is said to be of the original interior of 4561SA with the speedo added when the car came to England. The pic I believe came from Keith Bluemel's GTO book.

Third pic is a more recent one of 4561SA.
