For clarity; this is a replica: “Just say the affordable option of a real Ferrari.” Hooijboer obtained the car ten years ago in a special way. He came into contact with a man from America who offered him for sale. “But it turned out to be a fraudster who had already sold the car three times before.”
Hooijboer didn’t let it go. He successfully filed a lawsuit. “I won, but the car turned out to be a mess. That man had hidden it somewhere.”
Fortunately, Hooijboer was not left empty-handed for long. Two years later, an acquaintance spots the Corvari somewhere in Florida, in a badly neglected state. “The paint was dull, the hood was broken, and so on.” But the Emmen has the car over with the intention of restoring it. He recently retired and the decision came to sell the car. The sad result is the fire.
Irony again: The Miami Vice counterpart also came to a violent end: “In the series, the car was destroyed by a Stinger missile. But the producers got three Testarossas in return. I got nothing at all.”
