The Appeal
With Alain Delon’s 250 GT California Spider reaching €16.3 million at auction in 2015, a replica like this well-executed example makes a lot of sense. Looking every bit the rare piece of ‘60s exotica, this car is in fact a 2.8-litre BMW Z3 clad in a rather clever body kit. The interior too neatly pays homage to Maranello’s period offerings and all has been executed to an exemplary standard.
Just 986 miles have been covered since the conversion and the car is offered with an MOT valid until 28th September 2024. Superbly presented throughout, reportedly driving well and ready to enjoy, this attractive replica is ready to enjoy. Such a striking car is guaranteed to attract attention wherever it goes, and the Z3’s competent chassis ensures its fun to drive too.
