Not a NART according to MOT checker.

Ferrari 456 Bamford

ETA.....Bamford site calls the car a 275 Bamford ,based on a 456.

Yes. I believe Lord Bamford had two 456s converted to something akin to a NART spyder and it is one of those that is pictured.

They still look lovely.

We’re they built with the Colombo v12 original or simply used the V12 that the 456 has?

Also what sort of value do these have?

I don't know very much about them but I believe they are 456 mechanicals.

Value? No idea as one hasn't been sold.

I'd rather have the 456. That looks a bit poo for a big ticket replica.

As per this tweet where another car is shown, the understanding is that these will be a limited run of 10 cars, with each costing... £850,000.

Yes. That's £850,000 for a Ferrari 456. Admittedly one that looks like this, but still.

Don't want to sound picky but not keen on the seat and wheels.

And £850k!! good grief what is the world coming to? I'd go for this http://www.autostorico.co.uk/cars-for-sale/ferrari... which is £355k cheaper and so much nicer!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that buying a genuine Ferrari, complete with its *entire* original chassis and original style of bodywork is the best place to put your money.

There's a 250mm difference in the wheelbase of a 365 GT 2+2 and a genuine 250 GT SWB...

The car in the link above is not "indistinguishable from an original 250 SWB". It's close. And the grille in particular is much closer to original spec than some well-known replicas. Nevertheless, the idea that someone thinks their money would be well spent on a chopped Ferrari chassis, wearing a total replica body, and yet maintaining all the running gear of the now-ruined original car underneath, is mind-boggling.

Thanks all for the update. I didn’t mention it at the time but the fuel filler cap was embossed with BAMFORD - which I had overlooked at the time. It does wear a NART Ferrari badge on the rear (see photo) - surprised that was allowed ? Or is it just nothing like the original badge.

I don't seem able to blow up the pic but the rear badge does look authentic.

It just has the US flag, the prancing horse and N A R T at the bottom on a blue background.

Not sure if it was a UK car but the last NART I saw was yellow at the Concours D'Elegance event in Edinburgh a couple of years ago. Nice but the '68 275 in grey was my pick.

Hi Ed,

I've never been too enthusiastic about Ferraris, but my son Dean is. And it did remind me of the day, when Dean showed me the picture of it (1968 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spider) on RMSothebys. The price range was €19,000,000 - €23,000,000.
