Certainly, these were not Ferrari’s characteristics; however, outside of the car it was practically impossible to distinguish it from original.
All cars were forged under classical models Ferrari, and manufacture of some of them has ended in 80th years. The buyer, naturally, knew what car he was buying: the buyer came to “office” and paid only 20 thousand euro and the automobile best seller appeared at buyer’s garage.
After detection of underground activity of swindlers the Italian policemen have already confiscated 21 cars, and 14 cars have been already sold.
