    That fake is impressive.

    The article never listed what he was charged with?

    Since he used some Ferrari parts in his fake, is that against the law ?

    Ferrari should appreciate that he bought some of their parts.

    He did not try to sell the car.

    And their is nothing in the article where he claimed it was a Ferrari.

    Sounds awful fishy to me. :-)

    Most definitely if they are items like "trademark logos".

    There is;

    "The prancing horse logo on the steering wheel and bonnet, the wheels,
    the brake calipers, and the trademark headlights were all present on the
    red Ferrari,"


    Sounds awful fishy to me. :-)

    Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

    Italy is not like the US. And Ferrari is very heavily protected by the
    Italian government which views it as a national treasure of sorts.
