The story behind this is rather interesting too. The company who made the replica, Modena Spyder California, was brought to director John Hughes’ attention following a magazine spread, and he promptly called in entrepreneurs Neil Glassmoyer and Mark Goyett into his office - replica in tow - for a look. As Neil recalls: “This scruffy-looking fellow came out of the building, began looking the car over and then looked up at a window and shouted ‘this is it!’” Turns out the scruffy-looking fellow was Hughes, and his deliberation over the 250 GT replica or a Porsche 911 Turbo was immediately resolved.
