The Lemon Fool

I'm not usually a fan of replica cars, but I must admit that this one could change my mind - https://youtu.be/HqyDZMWv4zM

Yes, one of my all-time favourite cars. But even the most basic version on the 240Z platform have become pricey.

This one looks good from a distance

but the back end is wrong, the interior is bog-standard grotty and at £34,000 the seller can't even be bothered to service it.
Bit of a lemon.

Is anyone else obsessed like me watching Chasing Classic Cars on Quest , Freeview Channel 37 at 6pm most days ?
( Or 7pm on Quest+1 on Channel 38).

The owner of the dealership, Wayne Carini buys and sells and stores Ferraris and most other classics paying sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars without blinking an eyelid . It's a different world completely .

Brilliant, how does he get away with having the Ferrari badges etc on the car? Do Ferrari license the name to him?

p.s. I want one

AFAIK, you can put any badge you like on a car as long as you've paid for it, and as long as you don't try to pass it off to a buyer as the real thing. There are a hell of a lot of AC Cobra replicas around that do exactly that.

Incidentally, my neighbour has recently appended the word "[expletive deleted]" to her Smart car's badge. Looks great.
