Assuming Ferarri owns the intellectual property rights to their
cars they might have legal objections to a knock-off, even a
one-off homebuilt.

Indeed, if I were "Mr Ferrari" at the the very least I'd be happy to
license his copy for the PR benefit. But I wouldn't be able to
do that for the patents on the various component parts not
made by Ferrari.

Well, despite his comments about not being able to afford a real one,
this is really about a hobby, enjoying the process. If he had spent
the same amount of time flipping burgers and investing his earnings
with a modest rate of return, he could easily buy a real one.
But that's not the point. How many of us hobbyist woodworkers could
afford what we build if we included any reasonable cost for our time?!

Astonishing. But ... if you're gonna put all that work into something,
why not build one 1:1 so you can drive it yourself?

Don't laugh, but!
Though my connections in the bicycle industry, I get to travel to
Interbike, the big industry-wide celebration, err... convention, in
'Vegas almost every year.
I've been to seminars, and had an occasional private moment (glass of
wine) with some of the Milan-based Italian cycling leaders, like
Colnago, Marzocchi, and Campagnolo. I've personally met Ernesto
Colnago, and heard him personally explain how Ferrarri suspension
engineers explained to him how his carbon fiber fork technology was
all wrong. Colnago and Campagnolo have both had connections with
Ferrari over the years.
The Italians may place a total different view on this than a typical
American, Japanese, or non-Italian western European person might...
Colango and Campagnolo offer factory tours, Colnago has been known to
serve a hot lunch and wine to visitors. Shimano says there are "too
many secrets on the floor" to allow visitors. These Italians are
extremely proud of what they do, and might very well see a positive
reflection on their work as on honor, not a theft of "intellectual
property". A genuine relative of Mr. Ferrari might proudly pose for
pictures in front of that work!
I'm with Tim... <G>

Maybe flipping burgers at the Ritz - bidding for a 312 pb made it to
$1,600,000 a couple of years go
(http://www.racerchicks.com/auto/auctionFLA.html).

Good point. Triple the cost I guess. ;~)

That was my first thought also - he might get by with a 1:3 but no way would
they allow their name on a 1:1.

Well, maybe VERY good investments? Guess my ignorance of Ferrari
markets is showing--I was thinking of a "garden-variety" Ferrari!

Maybe he thought the 1:1 version would take too long and be too
expensive?
