Cheap you may with a grain of salt.

Classic Ferrari’s are considerably to the price and models from the 250-series of tensing typically the crown. The 250 GTO and 250 GT California SWB are the well-known highlights, but also the Testa Rossa (space) do the traditional good. In 2009 a copy away for more than 9 million euro, in 2011 there was a similar 250 TR for more than 11 million euros paid in, while at the beginning of 2014 even without hesitation 29 million was deposited for a Testa Rossa.

Now it will be a Ferrari, which for 485.000 dollar to purchase state does not immediately ring alarm bells, but if it is a 250 Testa Rossa, there is something going on. Because it is not a Testa Rossa, but for a 330 GT with carnavalskostuum. A very nice carnavalskostuum, that is, but it is still a replica, while it was once a stunning original Ferrari classic.

Culprit is Rod Tempero, a company in New Zealand that the building of replicas into an art-form. The coachwork of the 250 GTO, Testa Rossa, D-type and XJ13’s that they build, just like earlier, with the hand beaten from aluminium. The chassis is faithfully reproduced and the powertrain comes from a less sought-after classic of the same brand. So a Jaguar can be a old XJ sacrifices, but for this kind of Ferrari-replicas must be a real Ferrari to die, and that’s a bit of a pain. Even if in the original carriage then a Jaguar V12 is spooned, such as Tempero quite often seems to do.

Models such as the 250 GTE or 330 GT may not be the most beautiful cars that Enzo Ferrari ever built, the remain beautiful and especially authentic classics. Fortunately, the prices of such cars has risen sharply in the last few years, further helped by the fact that there are already as many are sacrificed for a replica. Who knows, maybe it was ever profitable to make this again in the original state to restore…
