What Was This? - Solved - Ferrari 250TR #0758
« on: October 01, 2009, 07:11:14 PM »
Now here is a little rip-off from PJ's recent puzzle. I want to hear what this car was before the modification (and currently is). I hope it won't go too fast but still directly to the pros.

The dusty surface makes me think of Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, is it there?

I honestly don't know where the picture was taken, but the car is from Venezuela. Now we go for the name  ;D

The name of what it was, not the incarnation pictured here.
