strange ferrari

testarossa with custom built body in the UK

 

or a 348. nice effort though.

 

Im not guessing , it is a Testarossa.

 

There are other pics and more info , this car was seen at a FOC event in 2005 i think. Somebody will probably pop in with the links/pics. I dont have anything here, i changed computer/country 3 months ago..

 

I agree. I dont like it that much. It doesnt look that bad but certainly not beautiful.

 

Very EB110-ish. My guess is a TR underneath, even the light pods have 512m projectors in them.

 

'Ferrari Owners Club'

'Club De Propriétaires De Ferrari'

 

This is a custom body on a Testarossa chassis (s/n 87193) and the work was very well done. As I understand it, the bodywork was designed by the owner. The pictures in the link were taken at the UK Ferrari Owners' Club Concours at Boughton House in 2003.

Personally, I rather like it, but regardless it is always good to see something new and different rather than some appalling replica of a 250 GTO.

Here are a couple of pictures taken (by me) of the same car in July last year.

looks like a vette from the side.

 

Any more pics? Very little is known about the car.. I'm always on the hunt for info/pics of it.

 

did they use a TR or 512M?

 

Looks like someone piled a 355, F40, and a Fibrefab on a plate and set the microwave on 'stun'.

 

How and why to make a ugly thing starting from a wonder !!!???

 

I honestly think that car looks amazing, I would own it any day of the week!

 

I would too, then sell it to the highest bidder and buy a real Ferrari.

That thing is a train wreck...

 

Basis was a standard UK version Testarossa (not 512 TR or F512M).

A couple more pictures below, which are all I have to hand at the moment. I have quite a lot more details on who did the work etc., but not with me now.

Interesting how different the views are on it. As I have said, personalkly I like it. However, that is irrelevant. The owner had it made how he wanted it to satisfy himself, just like Jim did with the P4/P5 or many others back in the 50's. To me it is great that it exists and that someone was prepared to spend the money necessary. Like it or love it, it is interesting and unique and you'll see it only rarely if ever.

Oui ! j'ai vecu a Paris pendant 24 ans. Et vous ?

 

Exactly, Guys who imagine to correct the work of master-sculptor Pininfarina make me puke, damn, it's so ugly!

 

If you think you'll find a bidder, you might eventually exchange it for a Lada, maybe a Skoda! Out of this Italian beauty, you guys just made a monster! Trashissimo!
