Question for the Ferrari owners

[matt172]

While MXDi and myself were out for a little jolly today, we came across this





I think that its a 250gto 'Breadvan' just wondered if someone could confirm or deny it?
Didn't manage to get any front shots

Dunno what it is, but I don't believe for a minute that it is a 250 Breadvan.

Too tall and skinny. Wheels not right.

Wonder what it is?

This was the much lamented 250 POS. Only one sold. Came with a mail bag and black cat!

[BossCerbera]

It looks like a home-made (or should that be home-baked ...or half-baked) 'breadvan'. The Breadvan was lower than most GTOs except for its 'payload area'. The spotted car looks like an offroader in comparison.

I agree with too tall and skinny.
The wheels and front shape of the car are similar to a Bizzarrini.

just been doing some more digging, and found some info on a Alfa chat room, same car has been posted on there.
They are saying that its an ISORIVOTA

Hhhmm...I think that may mean an Iso Rivolta....which was a late '60s early '70 saloon.

The car you found looks like an attempt at a reconstruction of a breadvan.

yep, sorry bad spelling, its based on that car and has obviously had some serious coachwork done on it

[BossCerbera]

Now the wheels make sense.

[dinkel]

Did it sound 'V12'?

I looked on the Bizzarrini website too, the wheels look just like theirs

Makes sense...I belive the Rivolta had a GM V8 lump fitted..
