Cheers OP, this has really made me laugh! The description is without compare - he/she/it states: "Unlike other versions of the car, this has been based on an actual Ferrari F430 and is 100% accurate outside." Furthermore he/she/it adds: "Other kit cars based on other donors tend to be scaled down versions, but this is as accurate as they come." (My italics).

You have to love this!

"The car has been wrapped in carbon fibre, which shows a few creases, but nothing majorly noticeable."  :evilgrin:

"The car is in immaculate condition inside and out and is a must see as it oozes class." :evilgrin:

"Because of the arc of the windows they have been fixed in place, but someone with a mechanically minded friend will always be able to make them go up and down."  :evilgrin: One of the traders on here should be able to sort it. :smiley:

Why-o-why-o-why!!!  God i'd love to see this in the flesh just to see how bad it really is. Years ago when I had my mk2 vr6 me and a mate pulled along side a fake 355 ( mr2 I guess) and just sat there laughing trying to get him to boot it. must of been worried about panels falling off

Love it, love it, want it!! I wonder if he'd do a trade for a lowly little Eddy!! :notworthy: :notworthy:.

Pure class that. 10 out of 10 for effort with the description. I wonder at what point during building this beauty did the fella step back and say "OH YEAH, WHO'S THE DADDY NOW!!"

From the ad....


"Lowering springs have also been added to give the car the correct ride height." 


"A quad-look exhaust system has been fitted to the car to give ity that authentic look and sounds amazing like the real deal when at the right revs."


"This car will be sadly missed as it has given me great times"

I must save those pics for a few laughs at the Christmas party.

All that effort and then he's put tiny alloys on it. That said, I doubt larger wheels would suddenly make it a doppelganger.

Saw this on ebay a few weeks ago - I cant believe no-one has snapped this up!!

from the ad:

"Due to the value of the car, I will accept a bank transfer of funds to pay or cheque or cash"

..... or perhaps postage stamps??

Quality of the vinyl wrap is amazing, the lights (LED's no less), the diffuser and the exhausts sticking out sideways just make this a win win for me.   :notworthy:

Although I do not strictly agree with the concept of replica sports cars based on MR2's and 406's etc, It must be said there are some amazing examples out there..... This sadly, is not one of them!!! :rolleye:

I cant get enough of this ad to be honest!! its a sensation.

The view count on his ad has rocketed too, i can just imagine him/her sitting behind his/her carbon wrapped laptop (with ferrari badge) rubbing their hands together in anticipation of the bidding frenzy that is just never going to happen!!!
