There was one years ago but I haven't seen any recently. The ones years ago were based on a Nissan (Datsun) 280ZX and the kit was brilliant and very authentic looking when built, painted and trimmed properly.

They were excellent kits - but most of the manfuacturers were scared off when Ferrari first got litigious. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I think that Fiero Factory might do a kit, it won't be advertised but you could ask them!! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

That's a seriously nice looking car. At the end of the article there's couple of links to companies in the USA that still appear to be making the bodyshells. Unfortunately... I'm in the UK, and the Datsun 240Z doesn't ring any bells (though it might have been sold in the UK under a different name). It does seem a bit of a shame that Ferrari are so negative about kits - especially ones for an 'old' car of which there were very few in the first place. It's hardly like you'd be able to pass a replica off as an original in a sale now is it... Cheers Sploo. >> Stay informed about: Ferrari 250 GTO replica/kit?

The 250 GTO kit that was around a few years back was based on the Datsun Z240/260. These cars themselves are very rare now, so is probably a contributory factor to the kits demise. I think the kit was originally bought over from the States, and as there were always a lot more donors there it made sense. A pity as it was a good looking car (after the kit of course).

Datsun = Nissan 240Z, 260Z, 280Z likely = Fairlady Many donors in US, can be had for $1,500 or so.
