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.

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.
