What do you do when the car you want most in the world is a) worth well over 20million and b) a one-off that"s not for sale anyway? Why, you commission your own homage to it, one to your own tastes and budget. That"s what one lucky man is doing with this, a modern-day rethinking of the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Breadvan that"s become so famous on the historic racing scene. An unconventional, aerodynamic rethinking of the classic 250 GT racer, it"s oddly elongated body soon saw it affectionately nicknamed Breadvan". Fast-forward 57 years and Niels van Roij the man behind the original Tesla Model S shooting brake is penning something dubbed Breadvan Hommage, with a late 90s Ferrari 550 Maranello as its base car.
