‘Box fresh’ evocation in fantastic colour scheme

‘PA02 KXB’ is not to be confused with alternative fibreglass-bodied evocations. It is one of three cars based on the recreations seen in the 1986 film 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' and constructed using hand-rolled aluminium sheet metal. Crafted in 2023 in South Africa by Cape Town’s M. R. Skunkworks, the aim of the project was to produce a very well-detailed evocation based on modern, reliable and - above all - engaging BMW Z3 running gear. Using the running gear of a well-maintained 2002 Z3 3-litre, whose straight-six engine produced 230bhp performance, the power is virtually identical to the original engine's output.

With beautiful hand-rolled aluminium bodywork, it is understood to be one of just three produced in aluminium, the evocation is a well-detailed car with good body proportions and features such as the chromed air vents. Finished in the beautiful hue of Pine Green Metallic paintwork, the interior is trimmed in Saddle Tan leather upholstery with the interior featuring electric seats, a re-worked dashboard with classic-style Veglia dials and a digital odometer, three-spoke wood-rimmed Nardi wheel and is enclosed by a Beige hydraulic hood, with a matching Beige tonneau cover.

The suspension and brakes have both been overhauled as part of the recreation process and the evocation benefits from having a five-speed manual gearbox. In the well-presented engine bay, you will find quilted under bonnet sound-deadening with the 'soundtrack' provided by quad-exhaust pipes. There are solid stainless-steel bumpers front and rear, as well as chrome wire wheels. Accompanying is a service book with several entries for the Z3, running to 83, 000km (51, 380 miles), with the evocation covering 100km running-in while still in South Africa (it was serviced again towards the end of this period), before being fitted with new zero'd MPH odometer upon completion for shipment to the United Kingdom, which at the time of photography had just 32 miles showing since the build's completion.

Coming to market as an essentially ‘box fresh’ evocation, the 'California Spyder' is accompanied by a no advisory MOT until June 2025, as well as branded handbooks and key fob and a separate immobiliser fob. A high-quality evocation in desirable aluminium bodywork, this is not an opportunity to miss for those without multi-millions spare for the real deal!
