Default Ferrari and other Bucks for sale in New Zealand

These have just surfaced on our version of Flea Bay in New Zealand. I forget exact the history of Tempero Motor Bodies, but the firm was sold in 2011 and these bucks were part of the inventory. They did some very clever stuff and turned out a bunch of aluminium D Type replicas as well as many other one offs - which these appear to be from.

Please somebody purchase these so that any temptation on my part is removed.

The 250 TR looks good, and the D Jag.

Dunno Peter - you would need to get in touch with them. Understand at this stage they want to sell as a job lot. If you register on TradeMe you can ask them questions.

Reverse met by the 10000 NZ dollar bid ($6900 US). Shipping would be prohibitive but I'd love to have that pontoon Ferrari.

We were successful in buying these bucks and may 3D scan them to allow us to duplicate them. Pm me if you are interested. The pontoon has found a home with a reasonably talented Melbourne identity. Cheers. John
