I see a lot of you are building or have built Ferrari replicas. The 355 kit seems to be especially popular here.
I was wondering how it is that there are still seeming so many Ferrari kits available when Ferrari has had such a reputation of aggressively pursuing those who manufacture them. Is there some loophole to get around the 'illegal replica' ruling or are the current manufacturers making it by staying below the radar? And, how do they keep attention away from themselves when their replicas are constantly being seen in shows, in magazines and discussed on forums such as this one?
For example, Jon Watson is evidently building an accurate 355 replica now. (By the way, I absolutely LOVE the black Countach he built - that's what I want!!) How does he avoid trouble with Ferrari?
After all, remember Rick Lee's (I think that was his name) one off Ferrari F50 replica? Even he got noticed by Ferrari and was contacted and threatened. And he wasn't even selling anything!!
Finally, what other manufacturers pursue similar legal action against replica builders? I've heard of Porsche, Shelby and maybe BMW, but others?
