I built my own budget Ferrari from SPARES – then the supercar giant sued me…my hobby has become a nightmare
A FERRARI super fan has been sued by the automaker after recreating their iconic design from scratch.
The ongoing five year suit claims José Vitor Estevam Siqueira violated trademark law – turning his hobby into a financial nightmare.
José, a dentist and resident in São Paulo, Brazil, created the replica Ferrari F-40 in his garage using parts bought from hardware stores.
At the time, José, a boyhood fan of the cars, said: “It was a childish, innocent dream, I didn’t imagine it could happen.
“I accepted it as a challenge for myself and started studying, investing time and money to make it happen,”
José started building the motor in 2017 out of metals purchased from stores.
He cut the sheets in a laboratory that is set up in the back of his house.
He then put his uncanny replica up for sale online for £10,939 (R$80,000) in 2018, sighting financial difficulties.
José tried to sell it after a suffering theft in the same year, reports claim.
The Italian company found the model during an internet search and reported the dentist for violating patent law.
The brand claims that the dentist created the prototype using the company’s intellectual property, in this case the car’s design, to obtain financial profit.
A seizure of the vehicle was requested, and five years later, they are still trying to obtain compensation.
Ferrari claimed they were seeking payment for loss of profits and material damages.
This is despite the replica never having actually been successfully sold.
The current amount of unpaid debt José owes is £5,811 (R$42,500).
Courts searched the dentist’s bank accounts and found £121 (R$887.74), which were frozen.
On November 8th, the Court converted the freezing of the amount into a seizure.
This means the dentist was forced to empty his bank account to pay Ferrari.
A COUNTER LAWSUIT
During José’s continuing court ordeal, he launched his own lawsuit claiming moral damages.
The Ferrari fanatic sued for £13,674 (R$100,000), which included his legal costs.
The lawsuit further stated that José’ had to undergo psychological treatment after his “good name” was allegedly smeared.
It was denied.
Ferrari says it has been conducting a thorough investigation into replicas and unauthorized use of the brand in Brazil.
The original F-40 was launched in 1987, and was the last Ferrari produced under the supervision of Enzo Ferrari, the brand’s founder.
The design has since gone on to reach an iconic status amongst car fans.
It is an extremely rare vehicle to purchase today.
The price of the car varies, exceeding £692,000 (R$4 million).
There are just over a thousand examples of it on the market today.
‘Savida wins for me’ cries Dunnes Stores fan over new Christmas collection including gold skirt and fur coat
DUNNES Stores bosses have shoppers in a frenzy over their Christmas party wear range – and it’s selling out fast.
An Irish Dunnes Stores fan rated the gorgeous new gold skirt that’s landed in stores.
Veronica, known on TikTok as @thedunnesqueen, shared a clip of her new finds from the fashion giant.
The metallic skirt retails for just €25 on the Dunnes Stores website.
It’s the perfect skirt to spice up your Christmas party outfit this holiday season.
Its description reads: “This metallic mini skirt from Savida has a shimmering finish that adds a touch of glamour to any outfit.
“An excellent choice for the upcoming party season.
“The back zip allows for easy wear and a comfortable fit that keeps you looking stylish all night.
“Savida is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
The TikToker styles the mini skirt with a pair of black tights.
Get the look with Dunnes Stores’ fleece-lined tights just €10, and they’re perfect to keep you warm during these cold months.
Also shown in her video was a stunning faux fur coat.
The coat is a steal at €50 and it’s perfect for winter weather.
The retailer said: “Crafted from soft, plush faux fur, this six-row short coat features a high neck to ward off the chill.
“Discreet side pockets complete the design, blending classic design with warmth and comfort for cold-weather days.
“Gallery is available exclusively at Dunnes Stores.”
Dunnes Stores chiefs have dropped a pair of gold boots to match the skirt.
The Ankle Western Boots come in three colours, black, gold and pewter.
The gold colour blends perfectly with the mini skirt and faux fur coat.
Dunnes Stores bosses said: “Boasting a classic cowboy design, these ankle boots have pull tabs, block heels, and a faux leather finish.
“Pair with denims and fringed accessories to complete the western look.”
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
