It's a rebody based on a 250 GTE chassis/engine Link to "www.ronsusser.com" Link to "www.ferrarichat.com" "At Galleria Ferrari in Maranello there is currently a REPLICA of a 250 GT California Spider on display. This replica is based on a 250 GTE 2+2 chassis. The donor car was chassis number 4309 GT. This GTE was originally painted Celeste with a Blue VM 3015 leather interior, LHD, delivered to first owner Maxham, an Englishman with a residence in Geneva, Switzerland..<lengthy history continues>...4309 GT was then instantly re-sold to Italy where it was used as donor car for a California Spider REPLICA. Rather surprisingly this REPLICA is now on display at the Galleria Ferrari in Maranello, with a metal tag on the gearbox tunnel describing it as a 250 California. Galleria Ferrari also put a sign next to the car describing it as a 1957 model...........Do they really know their cars? COPYRIGHT MARCEL MASSINI" Well, many of those around (sadly) but Ferrari-approved?! I propose 1957 250 GT Spyder California /LWB/ /rebodied from 1962 250 GTE [4309GT]/ -- Last edit: 2021-02-20 00:30:59 |
