A 1957 250 Testa Rossa built from a real 250 Testa Rossa Tour de France engine, but the body and frame are new. Seems a really good way to enjoy a classic, without causing your car insurance company a heart attack

As a boy Paul Schouwenburg and his father Alberto saw Ascari racing in his Ferrari 500 Grand Prix car. A blood-red cigar with which the Italian totally dominated the world championship in 1952. That was the beginning of a life with Ferraris

Schouwenburg has a few Ferraris, three classic and one modern, currently, but through a lifetime he has had a total of 28. He has even made a book about them http://www.eaurougepublishing.com/uploads/reviews/Octane_NL_Ferrari_Fever.pdf

It started with cars that he bought in the sixties for a few mille and restored himself. Pure for fun. Like a 250 Monza where the owner wanted to turn the saw into a Jaguar replica. Now a Monza is doing around the million. And a 250 SWB with which he raced in the weekends and went to work as conscripted military doctor during the week.

But this is a special Testa Rossa, it was built in Holland in the 80s/90s by Paul Schouwenburg, though not without a LOT of controversy due to his using a pre-existing serial number of a real 250 TR that had been wrecked in the 1960s

This car was built on a new frame, but uses a genuine 250 GT Tour de France engine (s / n 1401GT), some original 250 TR parts, but a newly built body.

Schouwenburg decided to issue this replica with s / n 0720TR, a genuine 250 TR which was damaged in a fire in the USA in the late 1960's. The car's remains were later used in the recreation of 250 TR s / n 0720TR, owned by German collectors Ingeborg and Harald Mergard.

Though aware of the fact that the legitimate s / n 0720TR with the continuous history had been reconstructed, Dr. Schouwenburg chose the same serial number "0720TR", too.

 In August of 2001, he entered the car at the Bonhams sale at Gstaad with no-reserve. Although this replica has a higher value than similar examples due to the 250 GT Tour de France engine in it, it did not sell. There may have been a court trial in Geneva in 2002.
