Owned one back in the 80's. Obviously you never looked at the VIN plate on one of 'em where it clearly says "Ferrari" 👍
This one is owned by an acquaintance of mine, it's over 630 hp on pump.

Maybe not rare…. But what the hell is a British Market one of these doing in Southern California? My money is the only one in the US.


Why go through all the effort to import one? A non hot version of a Citroen BX? (Hot versions never came in RHD)

Probably brought over by a diplomat then sold off afterwards. That's how many obscure foreign cars wind up in the tri-state area.

Certainly no show queen. This old Vauxhall is still earning its keep as a load lugger. Spotted in Knaresborough Yorkshire UK.

Took my baby out for a vigorous morning exercise this weekend.*



*Then parked behind this Italian stallion for a quick snapshot. 😁

Saw this while walking around. Note, that for perspective/height reference in image 1, I am 6’3” tall. That’s quite a blind spot 😉

Remember this that I came across in 2021?



I thought it looked very good for a replica, well it turns out it is a properly licenced "continuation" build. Video....

Ferrari 250 GT Competizione Scaglietti


Damnit! That took me longer than it should have done 🙁


Two minutes after posting .... No wait. Door window surround is wrong. I think that wrap-around rear windscreen makes it a Scagleitti body though. Back to the search.

Good guess, but it is America powered, sold in the US... but has significant British roots...

This is throwing me for a loop too. Body looks Italian -- but also it's so upright! The way it sweeps down so dramatically, it almost makes it seem as if it's a 4-door in proportion, but I suspect it's not. Which means you're sitting on that rear axle like that Cobra, or a Daytona Coupe. Looks really pretty though, love how the rear fenders continue straight back. I'm staying tuned, haha.

Edit: Maybe Italian designed, but British built, like the Austin ADO16/landcrab. I'm going with Pininfarina. Can't wait to see how wrong I am!
Edit again: Now I'm seeing Touring. It's like you took an Aston Martin DB4 and squished the trunk/boot in a bit. I'm really lost...
