Default Old skool Ferrari

Was out around Heathrow last night doing the hgv driving collecting air freight, 1st place I called into had this sitting in the warehouse it had either been shipped over or was going to be shipped out, I don't know anything about the car just the fact that its a Ferrari and probably worth a mini mint can you identify which one it is? sorry for the poor quality shot, taken via my nokia un-fancy phone

Looks like one of the 225 family, but something I can't quite put my finger on is telling me that it might not be genuine...

I'm pretty sure it is a 166 - the first model Ferrari ever made IIRC.

It's not a 166 model. If it is meant to be then I'm 99% certain it's not real.

I'm pretty sure it's not real anyway although can't say 100%

I agree it looks slightly dodgy. Maybe just the pic but i'm inclined to say its a rep

Defo doesn't look like a real 166, there should only be one main grille and not three separate ones. Looks odd imo.

I couldn't say for 100% certain as there are so many variants and coach builder specials of early Ferraris, it's not as easy as saying its an x or a y, but from the moment I saw it it didn't look quite right and was and still am pretty sure that it's no Ferrari.

The grille, the bonnet, the suspension, the side profile, the front wings and the wheelbase all look wrong.
