Because it is sort of a Testa Rossa and has a 250 engine, he called them "250 Testa Rossa". The oval blinker is the best give away. The rollbar is awesome.

chammo ◊ 2012-06-07 10:47	As already said it is a copy of a 500 TRC body with bonnet bulge to clear the center carbs of a 250GT engine. A complete replica with 250GT chassis and running gear. This type of a car is usually called a 250 Testa Rossa replica.
