UNLESS YOU STILL LOOK FORWARD TO NAPTIME AND RECESS, CHANCES ARE YOU'VE SEEN THE
1986 CLASSIC MOVIE "FERRIS BUELLERS DAY OFF". THE CENTER OF THAT FLICK FEATURED
A REPLICA OF THE 1961 FERRARI 250 GT CALIFORNIA SPYDER. THESE COMPLETELY HAND-BUILT
CARS, THEN ORIGINALLY DESIGNED & MANUFACTURED BY MODENA DESIGN AND RESEARCH
OF EL CAJON, CALIFORNIA, TOOK APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS EACH TO BUILD.



ALTHOUGH NO TWO OF THE ORIGINAL 100 "CALIFORNIA" FERRARI'S PRODUCED IN THE EARLY
1960s WERE ALIKE, DUE TO THE MANY SMALL VARIATIONS BY BUILDERS, FERRARI USED
THEIR PREROGATIVE TO LITIGATE. HOWEVER, THE REPLICA "MODENA SPYDER", CARRIED
NO FERRARI LOGO'S BUT BECAME AN IMMEDIATE HIT WITH ENTHUSIASTS.



WHILE YOU CAN DRIVE AROUND TOWN OR DIVE BOMB THROUGH YOUR FAVORITE TURNS IN A
FACTORY ORIGINAL FERRARI 250 GT, FOR MOST ENTHUSIASTS, IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
WITH AN HONEST-TO-MARANELLO SPYDER COMMANDING UPWARDS OF SEVEN FIGURES,
BENDING UP GENUINE ALUMINUM COACHWORK WOULD CERTAINLY BE A BIG BAD. THAT IS
WHY A REPLICA OF THIS CALIBER MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND IS A HASSLE-FREE PROPOSITION.


 
THIS SPECTACULAR & RARE 1960 MODENA 250 GT REPRODUCTION OF THE SHORT WHEEL BASE
CALIFORNIA SPYDER WAS COMPLETED BY MODENA IN 1991. IT REPRESENTS A UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE WHAT IS BECOMING ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER 1960
MODENA SPYDER REPLICA'S DUE TO IT'S LIMITED PRODUCTION, MOVIE FAME & LOWER COST,
 


PURCHASED ON EBAY 2 YEARS AGO, THIS SELLER DECIDED TO MAKE THIS MODENA A
SPECIAL, ONE-OF-A-KIND DRIVER, AS DID THE ORIGINAL EL CAJON BUILDER ATTEMPT TO DO
IN THE LATE 80's. ALLEGEDLY, LAWSUITS BETWEEN FERRARI, COMPOUNDED BY THE SUCCESS OF
"FERRIS BUELLERS DAY OFF", LEFT THE EL CAJON COMPANY BANKRUPT AND VERY FEW OF
THESE PRECISION AND DESIGN CARS AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO ENJOY

AS WITH ALL CARBURETED INDUCTION SYSTEMS OF THE INGLESE/WEBER STYLE, TUNING IS
IMPORTANT AND IS BASED ON MULTIPLE CONDITIONS. BE AWARE THAT THE TUNING FOR
YOUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA IS MOST LIKELY DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER. BUT OWNING AND
DRIVING THIS TYPE OF SYSTEM HAS IT'S REWARDS - WHEN MASTERED. IT IS NOT AT ALL
DIFFICULT AND MANY FIND THAT TUNING THEIR OWN SYSTEM BECOMES AN ENLIGHTENING
AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE. FACTORY INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE INCLUDED FOR THE
INGLESE UNIT SHOULD YOU NEED TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS. INGLESE ALSO HAS
A TECHNICAL SUPPORT TEAM THAT IS VERY HELPFUL.
