Quite surprised to see that there's another firm making 250 GT Ferraris I wonder if they will be close down like DNA ?

I think this started out as one of Brian's, but with metal 'shiny' bits . It was built in Poole Dorset, I think the original owner had planned to make some more? Not heard anything since.It was sold for about £70,000.00 last year.

A friend spoke to them and asked what it was made from. He was told the body was being built from stainless steel. He queried this twice saying surely the meant alloy or GRP but was assured it was being made of stainless steel.
I might be being cynical but it sounds like a load of bollocks.

The place where it's been sold is not that far from me. Might pop in there next Tuesday on the way back from Stoneleigh. If they are being made I could do with the set of Steel chrome work I will let you know how I get on John James.   :D8)

It looks absolutely gorgeous. Main instruments seem at an odd angle but I must confess I’ve never checked that aspect. I note it has a digital readout on it too ... anyone know what it displays?

Also, is it deep navy or black? If deep navy it’s exceptional. If black it’s gorgrous too but there are lots of black cars around.
