    Was a beautiful 250 GT 2+2 in the 60's. Now destroyed and just a copy of a rare TR59.

    Understood but are the lines/details accurate to the TR59. What glaring mistakes were made on this recreation?

    All the TR59s were right hand drive. And all were different in details. Just compare period photos. The body of this one seems rather ok.

    The most valuable item in this horrible car is the 250 GT Lusso engine from #5203 GT. Everything else should be crushed.

    The whole thing is crap, no need to dance around and waste time.
    Another lovely 250 GTE destroyed forever, not to mention the 250 GT Lusso which lost its original engine as well.
    2597 GT was originally Argento Auteuil Lancia with Pelle Grigia Scura Franzi and delivered new to official Ferrari dealer Renato Nocentini's Garage La Rotonda in Prato (near Florence), Italy.

    You're right. The 250 GTE and Lusso are so elegant cars. It's just painful to see so many look a like cars now. With no history, no value.
