Well one of......

thought some of you lot might like, i know the purists will hate it! but for 17k i thought i liked it. Could be a nice way to wait while you saved up the 40k for the real thing......

yeah the fake brake kit is pish but apart form that it looks like it fits well, the rest usually look terrible but this one would need a second glance to make sure youknow.

never see the point of replica's and certainly dont see any point spunking 17k on one

its like sapphire cosworth replica's, what is the point? the best bit about a genuine sapphire cosworth is the engine!

For that sort of cash you could buy a mondial, not the best Ferrari but at least it's genuine and gets more respect than a knock off. Early v8's are easy for DIY maintenance as well. Almost sold my 3 door for one but realised it was a mistake so changed my mind.

Looks a good rep, better than 99% of the shite out there, but as said above, you could buy a very nice Mondial QV for that money and a couple of grand change if you know what you're looking for. OK, so it's the bottom rung on the Ferrari ladder, but it's still far better than a very expensive MR2.

Ok, do its only about the same as a new hot hatch stats wise and dynamically inferior in many ways, it's still quick for a classic car and will still feel special on every drive. Also gotta be the most DIY-friendly Ferrari ever and a 4-seater. Still looks good too IMO, if a little "awkward" from some angles.
