250 California rep. - Calspyder - Modena Design 250

[Pacoryan]

Afternoon all, I was wondering if anyone knew the whereabouts or had experience of any of these in the UK? Apparently there are a few.

Yes it is the Ferris Bueller car.

I harbour a long-held desire to build/own one, but I would like to see one in the flesh before flying out to the US just to have a look.

I know the company has recently undergone an overhaul with a cash injection from Mike Renucci and is now called "Classic Cars by Renucci" or similar, but there isn't much "out there" on these cars.

Anyone? Anyone....?

Still searching for the other one.............

[Pacoryan]

Thanks, I saw the red one go on ebay a couple of years ago now.

Looks good in silver hmmm!

I had email contact last year with them and they seemed to be very busy, I was sent the latest prices etc but have to admit I was suspicious of the lack of web presence. Shame.

Thanks for the info!

I have one, I am in the US. I bought it 4 months ago, in kit form.
What would you like to know?

[Pacoryan]

Hi, I am keen to own one and was just interested to hear about ownership experience, including ease of build, opinions on quality (from memory a picture of the chassis showed a peculiar section removed just where I guess the gear stick will be, it looked to me like it would create a weak spot in the chassis?? But I'm no Colin Chapman).

I would also like to know how usable the car is, I would like to use mine most days, so being water-tight and having an effective heater would help!

Any info, pics or advice you can offer would be most welcome, I'd love to look over one in the flesh but I think there's only a couple in the UK and I've yet to find one!!

I'm in the UK and I own one of the original Mark Goyette (Modena Design & Development )Cars who built the cars for the Ferris Bueller film.
I believe mine was one of the first made it was built in California by the president of a replica car club that knew Goyette.
I've owned it for 4 years since importing it from Florida.
To be honest been thinking about selling so if your interested get in touch.

To JCJC and UNOBSERVED

I am interested to hear about both your cars as I am looking to buy a 250GT California replica. I have just finished building a Factory Five AC Cobra and I am keen to get my hands on a Ferrari 250 GT California like the one in "Ferris Buellers Day off".

As I am a new member on here I cant e-mail you directly yet, but would appreciate you responding to this link as soon as possible.

Regards

Just a heads-up to clarify that rumours of their demise were premature....

I'd be interested to know all about it, from costs to assembly issues to the whole ownership experience. Any road trip plans?
This could be a thread on its own by the way

As he bought it 11years 8months ago I'm not sure you'll get a reply
