Will you be making a coupe version? 250SWB?

Thanks


Sorry DNA Automotive will not be making a 250 swb as Chris (Tribute Automotive ) already makes one. Chris is a great guy and I have no wish to intrude on his 250 model sales.

Cheers Brian

Hi Brian,

Thank you for the reply.

I looked at both extensively at Stoneleigh, and as often noted, they are at two different price points. For me, I would rather pay more to have a better quality.

None the less, I understand your stance.

Tricky360 - I've gone back to the very first post you made on this thread:

…I like the old style ferraris… we settled on a Ferrari 250 California, ( ferris beuller car )

there was obvious constrictions,
1. the U.K. rules for cutting up a car
2. a single doner
3. my budget


DNA Automotive have clearly delivered you exactly what you wanted, within the confines of a practical Z3 donor.

You certainly have a great looking 'Ferris Bueller' car, so enjoy driving it. :cool:

Good luck, Paul. :)

DNA - Hi Brian, with a comment like that, you are clearly a great guy yourself. :cool:

The 2Fifty Cal really looks spot on.

Its a shame that I couldn't be at Stoneleigh and see it in real, but I have found the next best thing. A video on YouTube which shows the car really well.

they are called challenger seats ,they are changing the base to match the Ferrari look better
I think Brian said he could fit them to the electric part of the z3 seats so they can still move forward and up via the switch


Yeah mine are on the electric runners - I think I can see where you're going with the challenger seats. Looking forward to seeing interior done (but probably not as much as you!)

Saw the car at the Ragley Hall show this weekend - looked good!

Very interesting
Lots of glueing and multi adjustable brackets

End result looks good.

Very interesting video. Looks like the guys at DNA have really thought it all through and making it as easy as possible for the builder. I was enthralled for 45 mins - when is episode 2 ?

Any updates on the interior pack?
27 Jun 2016, 12:05pm
Congrats on great feature in CKC mag - car looks fantastic :)

I got another magazine to do maybe this week , didn't even know it was in this months Mag until I went to castle Coombe and someone asked me if it was the same car ?
Went to the stand and bought a copy
Should get some interior photos maybe by the end of the week
Still a while till it's finished properly

On a side note
I bought my car blind from eBay and the electric roof didn't work
Took it to a company in dorking , they only do convertible roof repairs
They found the fault and its booked in on Friday to be repaired
They were really good to deal with.
Cayman autos are there name

Nice... can't wait to see the finished article

Wowed. Good work. Could we see a head-on closeup, please?

You have always been good at interior conversions, however this for me is just great!!
6 Jul 2016, 9:05pm
Forget vinyl covered bits of alloy - that's how you do it. Looks brilliant!
7 Jul 2016, 4:18pm
Will the interior pack be available for to buy seperate if you havnt bought a dna kit?
7 Jul 2016, 5:31pm
I asked Brian at Stone Leigh - the answer is no and totally justified to be fair. He's protecting his customers investment whilst ensuring DNAs products have additional desirability and thus ultimately protecting resale values. Admirable stance.
8 Jul 2016, 7:33am
Yeah i thought that would be the case. I built a ferrari 360 replica about 10 years ago and asked about door cards and fake engine etc as the company i got my kit from didnt make them. I got the same answer!
