Not what it seems

This is what we plan to take to Le Mans next year anyone want to guess what it is?

Some sort of b@stard child of Ferrari and MG?

Right hand drive and wire wheels would suggest its British?

Chassis wise and interior looks like a Z3 with a bespoke shell. Ferrari California esque replica

Correct it is a BMW Z3 with a 250 replica body. This is the second one DNA have built and the owner has worked with them on lots of details to try and make it as close to the original as possible particularly on the interior. Nearly all the Z3 dash components are hidden, with period centre gauges and modern speedo & tacho manunfactured to look the part. A lot of the external fittings have been made using 3D printing technology with the rear lights coming our really nice.

Ok its a replica but it should be reliable, has power steering, power hood, air con and modern lights and is just something a bit different. As this was the second one made by DNA it was at a heavily discounted price, although it took 12 months to build, and stands the owner at about 0.3% of an originals current price tag.

I like that...even though its a mix...looks so much nicer than a Z3.

What an excellent job, should be fun to take it down there too

The thing is, stick a couple of Ferrari badges on it, and 90% of the people who see it will think it is one.

Stick a Maserati badge on it and 90% of the people who see it will think it is one.

Stick a BMW badge on it and 90% of the people who see it will think it is one.
