That’s it. It was very nicely finished.

I parked next to this at work today. Not exactly sure what it is. It has a motorcycle tag, so I assume it has some sort of motorcycle drivetrain. Check out the shifter location.

Looks like a replica 1956 Ferrari/Kurtis Kraft Bardahl Special. Not really a replica but maybe a homage, lol. "Inspired by"

I don't think any expense was spared.

Not surprising in this neighborhood.

If no expense was spared, they would’ve put a Hayabusa motor in that thing and bumped the HP up to about 175 and the torque to about 100 lb-ft. That little skateboard would’ve screamed.

You can see Srour's name in front of the right rear wheel.

There’s a guy in Canada who builds Ferrari replicas by hand in his garage.

Both Series and Defenders were available legally in the States until 1997 (known as NAS - North American Specification)

The issue (as I understand it) is you may potentially purchase a vehicle that was previously illegally imported and get hung up later. The article links to stories where people who thought they had bought vintage Land Rovers had their vehicles seized.

For me, if I wanted a vintage 4X4, unless I knew a very reputable seller, I’d probably stick with a Bronco, Blazer, or Scout.

[CesarG]

I agree. Only buy from reputable sellers.

Wow that's a block from the fastpass entrance to 110 S that I was using this summer. Right by USC and the Exposition Center.
