F430 for sale on eBay
« on: January 16, 2021, 10:50:35 PM »
Evening all, does anyone know if this 430 on eBay is a DNA build or otherwise.  Item number is 174598345954.
Looks like good quality build. I’ve had a DNA before and it was excellent, just thinking about having one again. Thanks, JC

Well, I'm into the 11th year of the project, could it be ready for Stoneleigh 2020, doubt it. The longest DNA build ever

Is it this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FERRARI-F430-RECREATION-REPLICA-CONTACT-07723056623/174599285056?hash=item28a6eda940:g:PtwAAOSwKcxfqaDt

It has been on Ebay for a while since before Xmas I think. Should be advertised in Kit cars rather than Toyota

Yes, that’s the one and thanks for linking it. The seller has since advised that it’s not a DNA but not told me the kit provider (e.g. Dave Jones). DNA build is tried and tested so this one is probably not for me.

Dave Jones kits (mr2kits)are good quality, and built on the mr2 mk2, some on the twin entry turbo models, Dave Jones had a demo car (customers) at Stoneleigh with a 3ltr v6 in it.
The problem with the cars is that they look too short. When Roland designed the DNA 360, he stretched the ends of the kit panels, this enabled him to disguise the mr2 mk3's shorter wheelbase when compared to the Ferrari, Enzo design also had the proportion problem, they tried to deal with it by making all the kit dimensions smaller, this then lead to a car that looked and felt too small.
 The DNA kit makes the best of what's available for a relatively easy build.
