What Ferrari Was This?
Discussion
Ok not going to give you much to go on here....
It passed me on the M6 toll road the other week.
I'm sure it was an early S reg. but I can't remember I was just in awe of it.
There was a bulge in the bonnet, and I would guestimate that it was a 60's car.
I've tried ferrari.com but can't see to get the pics of all the old Ferraris - otherwise I'd know.
If anyone can point me to pics of Ferrari from that era I'd love to ID it - Whoever was driving it wasn;t afraid too - it even started raining. Before it did though, he gave it a little and it seemed to accelerate VERY well, and not a puff of smoke or anything.
Cheers for any help - it's really bugging me not knowing!!

This isn't going to be helpful I'm afraid, but take a look in 'Ferrari The Road Cars' by Keith Bluemel (ISBN 0 7509 2483 7). If you do, you'll see just how tough it is to identify the model from your description! Something like one in three of these cars has a bonnet scoop or bulge, and this was the era of custom coachwork. It's a good book to drool over regardless. I know everyone goes on about the 288GTO, but there are some staggeringly beautiful one-offs from this era.

Maybe I got the reg wrong then - It's more than possible.
A replica? - Well, anythings possible - if so it was done VERY well as I loved it!
I know my description wasn't too good, but one day I know I'll flick onto a web page and go "Thats it!!"
Anybody point me to pics of GTO replicas?
Thanks again for the input.

This is the bugger, God knows what year its from - it's possible my year may have been wrong - I wasn't really looking at the plate.
Looks like a Ferrari 275 GTB:

Cheers all for the help nailing it down, it's really annoying when you like something and not know exactly what it is!.
