I've come across this picture recently:
I wouldn't think it's a genuine Dino as it lacks the characteristic corner chrome bumpers.
Although I sometimes see other pictures of Dinos without bumpers, like:
I think the car on the first picture is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen and I'm curious to know what it is
Just bought Kitcar Magazine (i think) and it had an article about someone who is making Dino kits based on MGTF. Isn't one of those by any chance is it? Does look DAMN good!
First one has the bolt holes for the bumpers.
Also googling 'nibelungenfahrt' and 'dino' or '97' comes up with a few pics of it, most mention it as a Dino, none that
mention replica.
Ferrari 206 GT I think
It must be a genuine Dino then. In fact, comparing some small shape details to other Dinos, such as the front repeaters, windscreen, side screens and so on, it'd be difficult to believe that a replica can be so accurate. Unless it's in the same league as replicas that even get approved to race continuation series and otherwise damm good ones like the Hawk Stratos or (maybe) Race Car Replicas' cars.
If a replica is made in moulds taken from an original it can be identical to the original. Its then just a case of gettting the detail parts right.
Also need to get the right size of wheel/tyre in the right place in the wheel arches.

Just never take a 'replica' Ferrari to Italy - the authorities will crush it!

The mirrors look wrong on the second car, if it is real would anyone spoii it by fitting those?
Wipers are wrong on the first one and side repeaters and door mirrors on the 2nd are def wrong.
i would be quite happy with either version, on my drive/garage
Come on men. Have just had to change me keks!!! Give me either.
Got to agree that the 206/246 Dino is in my top 5 best looking cars of all time. Pretty certain the two pictures above are replicas but both look very good with my preference being the first one.
