BMW Z3 250 California Evocation
- Thread starter TJS
- Start date
That is the second South African one to be sold in the UK in the past couple of weeks.
Built by a company called "Mr Skunkworks" in SA.
The last one was GRP bodied and sold for £45k. Seems odd, especially as they didn't make many of them. The interior is better than the previous one but the Z3 heating controls and interior door openers let it down for me.
Couldn't see any mention of mileage of the car. Is it an M54 (2.2 or 3L), or an M52 2.8? I can't tell but think it may be an M54.
Terrible colour for a 250 california replica IMO.

What the heck? Are they not allowed to mention Ferrari or something?
I wonder if Ferraris lawyers would step in?
It looks nice (though £60-70K estimate?)...the thing is you spend the rest of your ownership having to answer people that its not actually a Ferrari but a BMW Z3 based kit car.
thats pretty,
As it is being sold for profit (through a business), using the Ferrari name is potentially asking for trouble for all sorts of reasons. Note the car has no badges (or they have been photoshopped out). If a private seller you can do what you like, as it is not deemed to be making money from the Ferrari brand.
The £60-70k estimate is not expensive when you realise how much it costs to make these replicas, especially that one as it has an aluminium body.
£40k to finish one to a high standard in the UK, plus 1000s of man hours, so £60k is cheap. Everything is expensive for these, as the parts are made in ones and twos, not thousands.
I agree, it is. But I am biased cos I'm building one (or attempting to).
A very different price to the car above
