Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This is a DK Engineering-modified 1958-Style Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa tribute car, based on a genuine 250 GT 'Ellena Coupe' chassis. It was formerly owned by Chris Evans and is in stunning condition, featuring a 3-litre V12 engine with genuine components and American racing colors livery.

Condition

While the car is described as being in 'stunning condition' and having benefited from a complete freshening up, it is a tribute car built using a donor chassis and various original and reproduction parts. It also has some history of racing and changes in ownership, including a repaint. Given these factors, it isn't 'Pristine' or 'Outstanding'. An 'Excellent' condition seems appropriate, as it is very well-maintained with minimal cosmetic imperfections.
