Market commentary
Years of research and effort went into reproducing this extraordinary body in exactly its original form, right down to the Dzus fastening method of removing all the panels. It is an exceptional piece of work that is instantly recognizable and absolutely distinctive. It is a very good value at this price, an extraordinary Ferrari with unique history and a desirable engine and chassis combination.
