Pssst! Want to Buy a Fake Ferrari?
ROME: Italians are used
to buying bogus Gucci bags or Rolex watches to look
stylish but police found a new height of craftsmanship and cunning when
they broke up a ring selling fake Ferrari cars for a fraction of the real price.
Police accused 15 people of buildingthe blood red
sports cars and sellingthem to car fanatics on a budget, most of
whom knew they were buying a counterfeit classic.
Car body workers who police called
"very able" cobbled together mostly fake parts and a few orig
inal components. They used body parts from
other makes of automobiles, such as chassis, roofs, hoods, trunks and
doors.
The body parts were
modified to look like Ferrari clas sics such as the 328 Gtb,
which went out of production inthe late 1980s.
Some of the cars sold
for about 20,000 euros, about a tenth of the going price
for some versions.
