Depends which one you mean, the car on the left is the project 214 Aston, the one the right could be confused with the Scuderia Serenissima Breadvan Ferrari.

However it came before the breadvan and is a 'true' ferrari. based on a swb 250 chassis (like the later breadvan) this is the Drogo 250 GT.

Chassis 2053GT was a prototype of the 250 GTO by Bizzarrini while he worked at Ferrari and a design he revisted after he left when he made the Scuderia Serenissima car. The nose is very similiar to the later car but the rear is all 250 GTO.

The nickname for the car was Anastasia. Not a nice way to describe a lady in Northern Italy.

The rear of the car is soooo GTO it's totally unmistakable to anyone who knows even a small amount about classic racing. Why they saw fit to graft on the nose of a Stingray is anyone's guess.  ???
